b0re Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Hello,I noticed that YouTube videos sometimes show as a link and other times as the video. Seems random.Anyone have this?Thanks
craigf136 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Response I received in a bug reporthttp://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/ips-site-insert-image-r2862/?do=findComment&comment=148390I don't doubt the answer, but it does seem to be too random (it effects any links inserted).
b0re Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Humm. Why not if = fail convert on submit?I think you should post the link and on submit the link gets converted.At the mo when you paste a link and the video shows sometimes it's hard to click below the video or back to the top.
b0re Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Vanilla forum do a good job of thisExample - https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/
WOFman Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 First, who cares what vanilla forum does. I have tried and tried and cannot post a youtube video, funny thing is it worked in previous versions.
b0re Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 WOFman this is a productive conversation. I want the best for all of us and my community. Vanilla forum handles it well. I will hold out and see if this is changed in later updates.
WOFman Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Bore, again, I don't care what vBulletin, Vanilla, or anyone else does. This is an IPB forum, it is for getting help with IPB products. Anyway.... Glad you like Vanilla.....
b0re Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 It was a example of a way to post youtube video. I don't care what you think. It was productive feedback until you joined.
3DKiwi Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Let's see if it works. Edit: works but I would prefer if the video was smaller.
Morpheus NS Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 It works perfectly fine on this site, and on my test site. You just paste the address in its own line and everything is fine.Some line of text [ENTER]Youtube video address [ENTER]Video is automatically recognized and shown. In 3.4.7 it doesn't work when you use Share option from Youtube site which includes starting time (h**p://someyoutubelink/somecode?t=4s), but in 4.0 it works every time for me.
3DKiwi Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 How did you do that Kiwi? Just copied and pasted the url. Let's try one of my Vimeo videos.
WOFman Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Weird, works here but not on my forum. Setting maybe? Same on my test forum.
3DKiwi Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Weird, works here but not on my forum. Setting maybe? Same on my test forum.Privacy settings maybe? For example I had to edit the privacy settings of my video to allow it to be embedded here. Otherwise it just comes up as an url.
Misi Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Edit: works but I would prefer if the video was smaller.I like it this size.
Feneroin Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Let's see if it works. Edit: works but I would prefer if the video was smaller. It's ok on mobile. Thanks to responsive... No problem on mobile and desktop for me
WOFman Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I got my issue with this resolved. It was being blocked by hostgator. Tech support at hostgator fixed the issue.
ram108 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 test (a video or a link?):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOVFvcNfvE if you are typing a message and insert a video link and press space to continue typing you will get only a link and not a video
Morpheus NS Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Some test text:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOVFvcNfvESome additional test text...@ram108 Yes, with space it makes a link, and with ENTER it makes a video. That's how it works, it must be in its own line with no other content.
wmarcy Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 My problem is all videos are looking really wide, but not tall enough. I attached a screenshot.
ram108 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 My problem is all videos are looking really wide, but not tall enough. I attached a screenshot.That is really strange and I see the same wide videos in this topic too,
Ryan Ashbrook Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 That's a known issue and has been fixed for the next release.
wmarcy Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks Ryan! I spent a few hours this morning screwing around looking for a solution, I will stand down now!
