The Media tag doesn't seem to catch the new youtube style embed links.

You don't use embedded links.. you use standard ones as below, let the forum do the rest for you.

ie:

I know but won't it be nice to support the embed links too? :)

Upgraded to 3.2.3 and Forum is not embedding the video..... 3.1.4 had a Media button and worked fine for Youtube. Help would be appreciated.

You do not need a media tag for 3.2.3...
You just enter the youtube video link, board does the rest... automatically assign medi tag to the link... :)

That's my problem. Forum isn't doing it. I've dropped a Youtube link into a post.... all I get is a URL Link...not an embedded video.

Probably because Automatically parse media URLs is set to No.

If enabled, and a link is submitted without bbcode tags that matches your configured media tag URLs, the link will be treated as media instead of a regular hyperlink.

It is set to Yes. Thanks for the help btw. ...still not working.

make sure to post the full URL

this works

Is it possible to make it catch links without the http:// ? Also, the media bbcode for yout.be is installed by default.

the new one was only installed on 3.2.3, that's why I mentioned it... as some may not have it yet on earlier versions. On parsing non http:// I vote for that as well, but it would have to be changed up to do so.

A good way to fix this is to put the first part of the more recent style share link into the swear filter - to be replaced by the old one. It works well. :)

Not sure how this will work, can you give an example?

This is how I did it - Admin/Look & Feel -> Bad Word Filter -> Add New Filter.

HI,
I accidentally delete the new media tag for Youtu.be and some others. Where can I get all the original ones ?

Youtu.be and others are in the marketplace

I can't get this working either. I paste



into a post and it shows the link (not even as a link).

I have Automatically Parse set to Yes and YouTube is enabled in my Media Tags. Any ideas? Of course, it works here, lol!

That is the problem, I'm running 3.1.4, the normal youtube links work but the new ones such as the one prior to this post...

		



Will not work with the media icon or by just placing the url in the body of the editor.

There use to be a simple bbcode in the old days in where you just placed the video ID number such as "KAZwLM_mVzo" after the equal sign.

Can this be fixed somehow to work like this or is there another fix to take the new youtube urls?

Many thanks,
JB

How can you force HD playback? I tried things like:

Current system auto embeds. Afaik can't adjust width or height. 

 

But this thread has been dead over a year.
