Videos?

[Mystes]

Just went to the Musi & Culture section and thought that it would be great if we had video embedding. Though I don't know the consequences.

Not sure why it isn't allowed. It would be a nice addition, I agree.

The only problem with video embedding that I could see is the need to insert spoilers into everything with a video.

I'm not sure if it is difficult to add this feature though...

[ainsoph9]

Well, why not do some testing?

[Mystes]

BT will be closed for a moment in that case.

That is fine by me. Take it down for an hour or so for all I care. It is not like my post count is going to shrink from it.

Well, I'm waiting for TLG.

[ainsoph9]

Alright. Hopefully, this goes well.

Try it now. The format is

Code: Select all

[youtube]$Identifier[/youtube]

Example: [youtube]easv7l0NyJA[/youtube]

Alright.

[Hiyono]

Im not getting anything embedded...

You're using an invalid Youtube video ID.

[ainsoph9]

Then, why not show us, oh great one? Frankly, I tried playing with it, too, but I had no success. TLG, could you provide some more realistic examples in code format? Thanks!

[Poke2201]

Fixed it.

Heres an example.

Code: Select all

If this is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFldBVWFgWo

Then for the youtube embed to work, you need to take the part after equals:[b] vFldBVWFgWo [/b]  and put it in between the [youtube][/youtube] coding.

So at the end this should be your post: [youtube]vFldBVWFgWo[/youtube]

Thanks. Actually, I just figured it out. Go to the "Random Internet Finds" thread. You will find three videos. Let me know if they work. Thanks again.
