vb3 doesn't support YouTube Video embed?

[MaXimus]

I noticed that I cant embed videos from YouTube like I did with vb4. It isn't possible or what?

It is not possible unless you write the bbcode for it (or install a modification that adds the bbcode for it).

Is writing the bbcode easy? If yes, could you please tell me teh steps?

I am a n00bie :erm:

Did you try looking for a modification? That is what I used and it's a good starting point for you. (I had to modify it when youtube changed some stuff, but there may be other mods out there.)

YouTube Video

youtube

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Use the movie code from the YouTube URL in your browser.

All radio buttons set to No except Remove Tag if Empty

To use it as shown you paste in only the last part of the youtube url. I think if you change it so value and src just have {param} then you could paste in the whole url.

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

With this you may also be able to embed other videos types. You'll just have to experiment, the worst that could happen is you'll crash the Internet

I uploded a button I used to have for vB3
