Embeding video

[Paladin4Christ]

I have searched the site and can only find the click the "enter media tag" and then put in the link to the video.

I did this and it only puts the link to the video, in clickable format. How do you get the video to actually show inside the post, not just the link?

I have tried all the different links provided by You Tube but none seem to work.

Re: Embeding video

Get the embed code and change the drop down that says, using UBBCode to using HTML and UBBCode

The just drop in the iFrame

Re: Embeding video

Under "Markup" it says "using UBBCode" and in the drop down box, there is no other option except UBBCode.

Under "Post Options" it says HTML is disabled and UBBCode enabled.

How do I change this?

Re: Embeding video

trying to get this to work too
Ive tried doing

<iframe> </iframe> with the embed code in between them

Ive also tried doing it with "enter media tag" with myspace video.

Both ways freaks the page out and i have to back out of it.

weirdness

Re: Embeding video

Try putting the embed code between

[video:youtube] insert share link [/video] see the video viewing below.

this works, also using the iframe embed and changing the mark up.

I think drop down wise, new members have HTML disabled so the spammers can't use it. But you should have the option under Mark Up in the Full Reply Screen, or under Full Reply there is a video box to use.

<object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MY8rwJYX8pg&feature=share&list=UUwHsnyWOaQNtrGjJKsTgegg"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MY8rwJYX8pg&feature=share&list=UUwHsnyWOaQNtrGjJKsTgegg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed></object>

You need the standard link from YouTube, the HD link will not work.

Re: Embeding video

i think its a problem with the links from youtube

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=erjWWCvDobM[/video]


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

I removed this

feature=player_detailpage&

from the link that i pulled from the youtube page and it works
friggin weird. i figured this out by looking at other peoples working embeds and removed the excess code

Re: Embeding video

I think you can copy the link from the top of the page and it will work too ?
