Support for youtube-nocookie.com

See original GitHub issue

Youtube provides a service to integrate a video without leaving a cookie if the user does not click on play. It simply use the form youtube-nocookie.com/embed/youtube_id.

I’d love to be able to do something like:

<ReactPlayer url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" config={{
    youtube: {
        noCookie: true
    }
}}/>

That would convert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ to https://youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ automatically.

However if you think this should be handled by a parent component, I’d like to be at least able to provide a youtube-nocookie url to ReactPlayer (which would be a 14 characters change in the code 😉).

Tell me which one you prefer so I can work on a PR.

Ps: You can check that this is legitimately owned by Google here: https://www.whois.com/whois/youtube-nocookie.com

In 1.9.0 I’ve added embedOptions to the youtube config that lets you pass in a custom host option:

<ReactPlayer
  url='...'
  config={{ 
    youtube: { 
      embedOptions: { 
        host: 'https://www.youtube-nocookie.com' 
      } 
    } 
  }}
/>

And override any other options in future, if you want to.
