Within an ng-repeat, how can I pass the value of a element to a directive?

I have an event object whose data comes from a json, this event has an array of videos which I am trying to display as YouTube embeds. I am trying to use a directive to accomplish this but it is not working within the ng-repeat I am doing for the videos. This is the code of the directive:

app.directive('youtube', function($sce) {
  return {
    restrict: 'EA',
    scope: { code:'=' },
    replace: true,
    template: '<iframe width="560" height="315" src="{{url}}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>',
    link: function (scope) {
        scope.$watch('code', function (newVal) {
           if (newVal) {
               scope.url = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl("http://www.youtube.com/embed/" + newVal);
           }
        });
    }
  };
});

When I try to use it like this, then it doesn't works, the variable is not parsed if I use the curly brackets and it doesn't works either without them:

<div ng-repeat="video in event.videos" class="embed">
   <div youtube code="{{video}}"></div>
</div>

The {{video}} element has the id of the YouTube video, if I do this ng-repeat without the directive, the video ids print fine, so it is working but not parsing it when used within the directive.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

try ng-src in your template

app.directive('youtube', function($sce) { return { restrict: 'EA', scope: { code:'=' }, replace: true, template: '', link: function (scope) { scope.$watch('code', function (newVal, oldVal) { // use newVal and oldVal console.log(newVal); // log it to see that it is passed if (newVal !== undefined) { scope.url = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl("http://www.youtube.com/embed/" + newVal); } }); } }; });

also, in your HTML, you don't need {{ }} around video, its already a variable on the scope

<div ng-repeat="video in event.videos" class="embed">
   <div youtube code="video"></div>
</div>
