I am working on a project in which I store youtube video links in a database and then I retrieve those links and using blade template engine i try to embed them into page. I use a loop to put videos in a page. For some reason I'm not getting any video in the browser. It is covering the mentioned space but not rendering anything. I'm using laravel 3. Here's couple of code snippets, if they help.
This is the index.blade.php
@layout('layouts.master')
@section('content')
@foreach ($videos as $video)
<h4>{{ $video->title }}</h4>
<br>
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="{{ $video->link }}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
</div>
</div>
<br>
@endforeach
@endsection
The $videos variable is passed from controller.
class Videos_Controller extends Base_Controller
{
public $restful = true;
public function get_index()
{
$videos = DB::table('videos')->get();
return View::make('videos.index')
->with('title', 'Videos')
->with('videos', $videos);
}
}
All i get is a blank page. I don't understand what i'm doing wrong. I'm using twitter bootstrap for css prototyping. Any help will be appreciated.
Here's how master.blade.php's 'head' looks like:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>{{ $title }} </title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
{{ HTML::style('css/bootstrap.min.css') }}
{{ HTML::style('css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css') }}
</head>
This is what comes up in firefox when I inspect element.
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
<iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iBm60uJXvs">
#document
<html>
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>
</iframe>
</div>
</div>

Fortunately , I did manage to find a solution to my problem. Hopefully it should help you as well . Use the url that is present in the embed statement. so for example if you goto youtube and click on the embed link of this video you would get this
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BstTBw6BLrE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
now use the url that is present in the src tag. This works with other video hosting services, like VEVO as well.
Hope it helps..

For anyone else looking to Embed Videos in Laravel, have a look at KaneCohen/embed. It's works great with Youtube or Vimeo (haven't tried other sources), and you don't have to mess with any logic. Simply install (installation guide in documentation) and:
@foreach ($videos as $video)
<h4>{{ $video->title }}</h4>
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
{!! Embed::make($video->link)->parseUrl()->getIframe() !!}
</div>
</div>
@endforeach
Don't forget to set up the alias in you config/app.php

I have the same issue, but the console catch this error:
Refused to display 'URL' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.
I look for it here and i found this post
Refused to display in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'
and that work for me.
You should try this
@layout('layouts.master')
@section('content')
@foreach ($videos as $video)
<h4>{{ $video->title }}</h4>
<br>
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
<iframe width="560" height="315" src={{ $video->link + "&output=embed" }} frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
</div>
</div>
<br>
@endforeach
