YouTube Embedding

[Divine Forces]

In the public beta, it was suggested that with the way Youtube has progressed since IPB 3 was first released, it would be better for YouTube Videos to automatically embed in widescreen format.

On the public beta it was accepted and updated so that YouTube was then in widescreen format.

Now here on IP.Board 3.2.0 Beta 1 I've noticed that YouTube videos seem to have regressed back to the old format:

I was wondering if this was intentional, and if so why? :tongue:

Also, as a side note, this wasn't updated in the Public Beta, but it would be nice if you could add the fullscreen button too

e.g.



For reference, Media BBCODE Replacement HTML for this would be:

<object width="560" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/v/$2&fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://youtube.com/v/$2&fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="560" height="349"></embed></object>

Very cool suggestion

Yes indeed, this would be a very nice feature for the embedded media.

it's just a setting... like it always has been... each admin can set this to whatever they like....

Yes, but there's no reason not to have widescreen enabled by default.

if this were to be altered, then I would like to see youtu.be links added along with the ability to still show the clip if anything else is following the link i.e
