Question

Im trying to implement this example, but with “$.getScript”: and for some reason, it wont work….

this is my code :

function youtubeFeedCallback(data) {
    var s = '';
    s += '<img src="' + data.entry.media$group.media$thumbnail[0].url + '" width="' + data.entry.media$group.media$thumbnail[0].width + '" height="' + data.entry.media$group.media$thumbnail[0].height + '" alt="' + data.entry.media$group.media$thumbnail[0].yt$name + '" align="right"/>';
    s += '<b>Title:</b> ' + data.entry.title.$t + '<br/>';
    s += '<b>Author:</b> ' + data.entry.author[0].name.$t + '<br/>';
    s += '<b>Published:</b> ' + new Date(data.entry.published.$t).toLocaleDateString() + '<br/>';
    s += '<b>Duration:</b> ' + Math.floor(data.entry.media$group.yt$duration.seconds / 60) + ':' + (data.entry.media$group.yt$duration.seconds % 60) + ' (' + data.entry.media$group.yt$duration.seconds + ' seconds)<br/>';
    if (data.entry.gd$rating) {
        s += '<b>Rating:</b> ' + data.entry.gd$rating.average.toFixed(1) + ' out of ' + data.entry.gd$rating.max + ' (' + data.entry.gd$rating.numRaters + ' ratings)<br/>';
    }
    s += '<b>Statistics:</b> ' + data.entry.yt$statistics.favoriteCount + ' favorite(s); ' + data.entry.yt$statistics.viewCount + ' view(s)<br/>';
    s += '<br/>' + data.entry.media$group.media$description.$t.replace(/\n/g, '<br/>') + '<br/>';
    s += '<br/><a href="' + data.entry.media$group.media$player.url + '" target="_blank">Watch on YouTube</a>';
    document.write(s);
}



$(document).ready(function () {
    $.getScript('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/gzDS-Kfd5XQ?v=2&alt=json-in-script&callback=youtubeFeedCallback', function () {
        alert(1); //This function is placed in jsPlugin.js

    });

});

the alert does go well, Im getting the alert, and on FireBug i do see the GET method, but it wont execute the “callback” function.. I dont see it pasting it on my site…

any ideas why ?!`

This is jsonp.

Try:

$.getJSON('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/gzDS-Kfd5XQ?v=2&alt=json-in-script&callback=?', youtubeFeedCallback);
