Youtube Videos

[Rob Thomson]

Hi All,

I have just added in a youtube parsing system to the forum.

The system tries to auto match youtube video links and then embeds them into the forum.

So..

Code: Select all

Will result in this:

It is still highly beta - and needs testing so lest see how we get on with it

test. tryin to figure this out.

[Rob Thomson]

Right. I have a bug!

it is working in this scenario:

If you paste in just the link:

Code: Select all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dFr74DIz3s&feature=youtu.be&hd=1

but now if you past it in with url tags

Code: Select all

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dFr74DIz3s&feature=youtu.be&hd=1[/url]

I will sort it later today.

Most forums with YouTube enabled needs you to post it without url brackets AFAIK

I have been proven wrong many times in my life thou :~

Vimeo is not YouTube

But will be supported soon.

My opinion is as long as you get there, no big deal if the viewer frame isnt there.

Oh hi rob, I didnt know it was site specific. Again no biggie, but, vimeo IMO is better than youtube because of processing. At least for HD files, vim downgrades less.

That 2nd test was me just trying to put it in the url brackets, but I guess since its not set up for vimeo, it doesnt matter, anyway, Great job on the site. Thanks much .

And working now

I have used a 'plugin' for this - but to be honest it is a bit rubbish.

I will write my own version on monday - will be more efficient and flexible

I was able to embed a youtube video
my main issue was that the link youtube provides by default is a 'short' link.

in order for the embedding to work I needed to use the 'long' link (under ...options)

I got it now

thanks Rob..... This just answered my pain and suffering I have had for the last half an hour trying to figure out you you do it on this forum...

I tried everything from Frame Tags to Video Tags .... and nothing worked..... so simply clicking on Code and adding the link works..... I will test it right now ....

Code: Select all

Nope ... just posted the above that and it does not work

I will try simply adding the link....
