Embedded Videos

[krocheck]

As you said, entirely not feasible. ;) For a site that was dedicated to doing such a thing, realistically you would be able to purchase a custom modification to do this from a reliable coder to boot, so there's not much involvement we'd have with such a feature.

On a related note though, I know a site that has integrated a flash loader for gallery media which works nicely without transcoding. All of the custom media code calls a flash loader, which then loads the actual movie, and seems to be able to handle any formats he allows. No transcoding and you still have flash on the front-end.

Half the time when I post stuff like that I'm looking to a gold standard that is just not possible (as I alluded to). That flash loader seems to be a very nice alternative to my suggestion, and in reality having to convert uploaded files to a single format degrades the quality (to varying degrees). I would not be opposed to that solution at all ... enable/disable option, of course, for those who want them to be download-able instead of viewed (progressively downloaded). This is, assuming, you could get your hands on it ;)

Change the "Custom BBCode Replacement" code to this;

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="{content}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="{content}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Just temporary fix until IPB 3. As Brandon stated, this will be built in as a tag in the next release :)

thanks for this
with this bbcode, can I embed googlevideo and other videos as well? or it depends?

Try changing it to:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="{content}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="{content}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Making it the full URL instead of just the Id tag. It might work better.
