YouTube code

Post by greeneyed1989 »

Hi all

We have installed the YouTube code on our forum and while it is still working on IOS, it has suddenly stopped working today on PC, using Chrome, IE Edge and Firefox. Firefox suggests a "plug in is required" to view the content.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Presumably you mean a BBCode? Have you changed anything such as editing anything or changing settings to cause this? If you've changed nothing then your host probably has. Please post the code you're using surrounded in

Same problem on my forum since this morning. :? Zero problem in five years.

My BBCode : [youtube]{IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

Youtube videos are not displayed properly.

Instead, there is a kind of vertical black bar.

I have not touched anything.

As I said in another topic - if this has just started happening then there is a possibility that Youtube have changed something. Have you asked/searched at Youtube?

I'm wondering if this is a Youtube problem or IE problem.
I've changed nothing on my forum and now the vids don't show. What tells me its not the code is that a wanted to watch a demo vid on my web host's site and the didn't play either. Plus, the actual video holder area isn't correct as part of the yt icon text is off the edge of the area.

My solution :

BEFORE :

Code: Select all

[youtube]{IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{IDENTIFIER}" width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{IDENTIFIER}" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
AFTER :

Code: Select all

[youtube]{IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]
(same)

Code: Select all

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{IDENTIFIER}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
On my forum, it works for old AND new embedded videos. \o/
