    <p>I've got a chromless YouTube player that I'm trying to load videos into, but only some videos work--not all. If I'm not mistaken, the ones that aren't loading are due to copyright infringement (e.g., some episode of a cartoon doesn't load, but a home movie of a kid doing a backflip does). What I'm trying to do is either find out whether or not these videos can load, either after we try to load them or before.</p> <p>As an example, here are two videos by Nataly Dawn. One loads, the other doesn't.</p> <pre><code>// loads and plays the video ytplayer.loadVideoById("GhDGdT33K0k"); // doesn't load/play the video ytplayer.loadVideoById("-KYUPJIzCyM"); </code></pre> <p>From looking at the data of both <a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/GhDGdT33K0k" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the working video</a> and the <a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/-KYUPJIzCyM" rel="nofollow noreferrer">non-working video</a>, I can't seem to see anything that would indicate that the latter is non-embeddable. [I'm looking for <code>&lt;yt:accessControl&gt;</code> tags or a missing <code>yt:format='5'</code> (cf. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3899387/how-do-i-use-the-youtube-api-to-check-if-a-video-is-embeddable"><em>How do I use the Youtube API to check if a video is embeddable?</a></em>), but to no avail.]</p> <p>From what I've tried in the console, <code>loadVideoById</code> <em>always</em> returns <code>undefined</code>, regardless of whether or not the video actually loads. I can't seem to find an API method to determine whether or not the video has done so.</p>

    2. COgoogle playground sometimes plays videos that aren't embeddable, such as qvr6K02dglc. You can try embedding it in a local HTML file on your disk.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
