xF1 Add-on [WMTech] YouTube Integration Essentials 1.1.3

Please review this add-on, if you like it. This helps other people to decide and gives us a little smile back for the many hours used to create this professional add-on.

Description:
YouTube Integration Essentials add-on enriches your Xenforo website to show the embedded YouTube video and playlists (yes, playlists are fully supported!) with lightweight and fully responsive cached data from your local server. The look and feel is like regular embedded YouTube, but only if someone clicks to see the video or playlist, the actual "fat" Flash or HTML5 player is loaded from YouTube automatically.

This offers 4 advantages:

1.) Greatly enhances the speed and performance of your web site
Due to the fact your visitors won't have to wait until code from YouTube has been loaded for each single YouTube embed, the response of your web site will be much speedier and the load time of your web pages will improve significantly, especially if you've got many YouTube videos on one and the same page.

2) Greatly improves the privacy of all your web site visitors data
If you open a web page that contains YouTube video, your visit will be tracked by YouTube even if you don't click to start the video. This add-on protects the privacy of your web site and your users by only loading those videos after a first initial click. Before that a locally cached thumbnail image and locally cached video info data will be displayed.

3) Possibility to change the design of embedded YouTube videos
Contrary to the original and unchangeable iframe embedded YouTube videos this add-on allows you to creatively change the look of all the videos your users embed into the posts. It can be done easily with CSS.

4) Embedded microdata for Google to show the video in search results
There is a specific microdata scheme for "videoObject" which this add-on adds to your page, which Google can use to display the video thumbnail next to the search-result.

YouTube Integration Essentials is triggered by the XenForo YouTube BB media code and replaces it with our own performance-optimized code. If a visitor clicks the play-button, YouTube Integration Essentials seamlessly initiates YouTube's new embedded player. This means that, if you ever decide to uninstall this add-on, your YouTube videos will continue to work (but without the optimization of this add-on).

The YouTube embeds are responsive and fully support Xenforo's responsive design. The add-on is fully phrased and can be translated as you like.

Options for this add-on include the selection of the player size from 8 presets, the player position within the forum message, whether you also want to show links to play the video directly at YouTube, to show the video title in the thumbnail, to embed microdata of the video, to show a high quality thumbnail and to force all YouTube videos as audio only. You also can choose to continue to use the old YouTube video embed style which was used prior to summer 2015 (the add-on uses the new style by default).

This add-on will only work with YouTube embeds in threads and conversations. All other locations will show standard non-optimized YouTube embeds.
