This is How to Simply Embed ANY Youtube & Google Video

[Frodosringfinger]

I figured it out. Looked through all the other youtube bb code threads, couldn't get anything to work really, so I just tried this:

YOUTUBE:
BB Code:

Code: Select all

[youtube]<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>[/youtube]

HTML Replacement:

Code: Select all

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

This allows you to embed youtube videos just like you used to. Just copy the EMBED code off the actual youtube page and paste it within the [youtube][/youtube]


GOOGLE VIDEO:
BB Code:

Code: Select all

[googlevideo]<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId={SIMPLETEXT}&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>[/googlevideo]

HTML Replacement:

Code: Select all

<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId={SIMPLETEXT}&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>

Just copy the EMBED code from the actual Google Video page and past it within the [googlevideo][/googlevideo]

I'll be adding other sites such as Break, Myspace, and a few others later.

Works like a charm, thanks

Good job Frodo! Guess who this is?

[Peter77sx]

Sweet.

[Frodosringfinger]

No idea...

Nice, I dont wanna be an asshole, but. Is there any way to modify it so we can use the whole URL with the tags like: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1d_6sKdyKM[/youtube] ?
I guess there are more peeps out there that have forums full with that stuff.

[Frodosringfinger]

Dont really know. Just fool around with stuff. I personally love this way. Use the embed code to embed it, no learning curve on that.

Thanks for the code, it works really well but I'm left with 'object width="425" height="350' text below the video box, is that normal.

I'd certainly be interested if anyone found a workaround for this?

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

YOUTUBE:
BB Code:

Code: Select all

[youtube]<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>[/youtube]

Why is there HTML in the BBCode syntax ? All HTML should be in "HTML replacement"

Code: Select all

[youtube]{SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube]

should be enough for the BBCode part.

I tried making one where it works like that, however it didn't work. I did manage to make one that works like this though:

Code: Select all

Here it is:

This is very true. Your first post is very wrong.

Well the problem is that if you don't put all of that HTML in the BBcode section it wont work. It'll only work as he posted it. Otherwise you need to just input the video id and not the entire embed code.

Strange I'd like to understand why...

Maybe it would be worth reporting as a bug...

The way I see it, HTML code is not supposed to be entered in the BBcode part. Ever. It you need to do that to make it work, then you have highlighted a flaw of the BBcode system.
