Had to make a few more alterations:
1. altered the user.php file and added the same code under $id = $_GET['id']; which can be found at the top of the file. The code then should read like this:
$id = $_GET['id'];
$vidid = $_GET['id'];
$str = $vidid;
$str=str_replace('_player', '', $str);
$xoopsTpl->assign('vidid', $str);
2. the youtube player code found in xootube_user.html should then be removed and replaced with this:
<iframe width="<{$width}>" height="<{$height}>" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/<{$vidid}>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>iframe>
3. sometimes certain tags fail to load and it causes an error message to screw up the graphics so I removed the error message from the langauge/english/main.php file. The entry should look like this once the error message is removed ( 3rd from top ):
define("_MD_XOOTUBE_NOTID","");
If you are using any other language then the same file in their respective directories need to be altered too.
