Update: Media now works (was Posting embedded Youtube Links)

Post by Tawmis »

The Media now works! The below (for YOUTUBE coding) no longer works due to fixing Media embedding.
- Tawmis 03/13/2023

First look at the Youtube URL
You're gonna wanna grab everything after the v= and everything before the &
For example:
[attachment=0]2023-02-12 00_11_16-Clipboard.png[/attachment]
That will go in the Youtube code like this:
[code]
[youtube]8Wr4-u9-zw0[/youtube]
[/code]
And it should work:
[youtube]8Wr4-u9-zw0[/youtube]

No need to do all of that. Just paste the entire URL and the board will parse the embed.

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wr4-u9-zw0
will yield:
01000010 01111001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100001

Which if you do the full URL - it does this:

Mentioned a few times:
viewtopic.php?p=94513#p94513
viewtopic.php?p=94557#p94557


I noticed my Neverending Nights thread still had embedded videos that worked - so I checked the post to see how it was done, which is why I posted the first post of this thread. Otherwise you need to hyperlink it.

OK? *tries it out* So, all I have to do is take away the bit that says "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" and ...

Alas, poor video. The original link is:

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THSY7-CxKnQ
So, I'm not sure where the "&" is there. *shrug*

You'd take what I highlighted in my screenshot. But you have to put it between the code of:

Code: Select all

[youtube]SNIPPED PART HERE[/youtube]

For example:
[youtube]THSY7-CxKnQ[/youtube]

Would result in:

Collector, I think you mean this?

Code: Select all

OK? *tries it out*

So, typing

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THSY7-CxKnQ
will display the video.

Typing

Code: Select all

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THSY7-CxKnQ[/youtube]
will display the video in between the "youtube" pairing. Clearly, the "youtube" pairing is no longer needed.

Typing

Code: Select all

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THSY7-CxKnQ[/media]
also displays the video.

As for

Code: Select all

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THSY7-CxKnQ][/url]
... yep, that displays a link.

Thank you, Collector and Tawm! :)
