Great, thank you so much for your help, that was what it was, no idea how the permissions would go up to the server like that. :up:

Is there any change on 2.0.2 since last update ? i have it on my forum and i login and found the mod is updated when i look on the mod i found the new beta 2.5 so i think do not need to update the 2.0.2 right ?

it's possible add support to preview post in full editor?

is it possible to embed the video only when within a custom bbcode?
ie. [bbcode]<youtube-url>[/bbcode]

Because sometimes embedding is disabled on youtube making the youtube video "Not available" and showing a blank screen when embedded.

That will not make the video show up, as that's still embedding. When YouTube says embedding is disabled, that means there's no way around it.

For that use, just uncheck the embed option when posting. Or am I not understanding what you mean? So you will end up with the link, rather than the video that will not play.

This will be great for my board

Yea, that's why I don't want all the links to convert to embeds, instead give users a choice.

Unchecking would mean that the whole post will not be embedded.
If we can do a [youtube]http://youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxx[/youtube] kinda thing that would convert the url to link, it would be good.

It would mean that users can embed those vids that are not disabled and post links to those which are in a single post. I currently do this with youtube tags, but users would have to extract the Video ID from the url to put in between the tags.. which is a hassle and a problem to users not familiar to the url structures/query strings.

With some simple programming we should be able to extract the ID even if the url varies like below:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&...mesite.com/yyy

The point of AME is to automatically embed matching URLs. As mentioned, If you don't want the video to show in a post, just tick the 'Do not automatically embed media' option.

Ok. I see what you mean here. You want an 'exempt' code. Not too sure about that. You can put it in a code, php or HTML block to accomplish that... but I am not sold on creating another code block just to intermix normal links and embedded links :(
Ame does this but can't tell you from the URL if embedding is supported or not. Possibly by using the extract destination option (i.e. a regexp that determines if the page has 'embedding dissallowed' on (or whatever). But that is something I wouldnt support natively as it can be done via a new definition.


HTHs

hmmm... I thought it was... will have to double check. In theory it should.
