Automatic YouTube/Video streaming FLV sites?

[Steve-Ø]

I think it'd be nice if you could you could embed Youtube videos into threads/posts. I use an addon for my vBulletin board called "passiveVid". Just by posting the link to a YouTube video, the addon does the rest. I do believe it is compatible with your software version, so you might look into it.

It works with the following video-streaming sites. (Any of which can be disabled in the ACP.)

[SPOILER]	YouTube
	Google
	MySpace
	MetaCafe
	Yahoo
	Koreus
	Sapo
	LiveLeak
	GameTrailers
	StreetFire
	VEOH
	MyVideo
	GameSpot
	Stage6
	SevenLoad
	Izlesene
	Vidiac
	Xtube
	Vidmax
	Redtube
	Onsmash
	GodTube
	PornoTube
	PhotoBucket
	BrightCove
	YouKu
	LiveVideo
	Break
	Expert Village[/SPOILER]

Note that this is only a suggestion and by no means any way of advertisement.

If you want an example, I can link you.

Lulz... I can't tell if that was sarcasm or if that is a real consideration.

Well you know everyone thinks of that first, because someone posted a suggestion.

It depends a bit.

We'd have to do a lot of internal testing/tweaking before adding any type of support for integration of stuff like that.

We've got a tiny exception system we can use for stuff we post on the front page, if we absolutely need to post something "streaming", but in general it's blocked both 'cause we want to keep things a little bit simple, and also because there (sadly enough) are a lot of people who have a lot of growing up to do.

It's almost always just a matter of time before someone feels the need to go nuts and starts abusing it to spam a bunch of stuff (and if "possible" something that abuses a tiny glitch in the integration code that could evt. cause crashes to the forums or create other unwanted effects...)

Bump!


Okay. As some might've noticed, a couple of youtube videos have snuck in lately on the boards.

You can now embed youtube videos by first taking the URL for the video;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd1zR-nxcPE

Then copying out the video ID portion;

Hd1zR-nxcPE

Then wrapping it into the following tags

[youtube]Hd1zR-nxcPE[ /youtube]
and posting this should give you something that looks like this;
YouTube video:

Show YouTube video

I'll probably increase the resolution to standard youtube resolution soon. Anyway, the spoiler tags prevents the video from loading without the user clicking the button. Ensuring that any user who does not want youtube/flash embedded on the site hopefully wont be pestured by it (unless they click on a youtube button on the on forums)

You just made my posts easier Carnivol. Thanks you so much! I think you should sticky this for everyone.

Hah! Of all the days that I found that this topic still exists...
