Description:

This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.

So basically the user enters a video link in a post and its automaticly displayed as the actual embedded video.

vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]

Thanks in anticipation

hi. I am not sure anyone can help you since it is isolated to 1 or 2 of your folks with the issue. The MOD seems to be working fine on other fourms, including your forum I think... except these 1 or 2 folks. if it was me, I would say the problem is with those 1 or 2 of your user's, not this MOD.

Therefore... no soup for you! .lol.

Great mod on 3.6 and 3.7!

Can you tell me please how I loose the http:// above the video?

[GoodKarmaKid]

Great Mod, works excellent on VB 3.74beta

One Question and one request.

Is it possible to reduce the size of the video display window?

I ran into an issue with a custom VB skin utilizing a sidebar where space was a little to tight and adding the vid window created some formatting issues. I would love to be able to pick the size of the embeded video window from the passivevid settings in admincp. Like 90%, 80%, etc.

Can you add a feature for auto centering the vid instead of them all being aligned tothe left? I'm kind of anal about layout, and it would be cool if when your program autoparses the url, the alignment could be automatically specified in the usercp. Choose Left, Center, or right for example.

Can you add "Pokertube.com" to your list of supported video sites? I'll gladly send a donation your way if you can add this.

Thanks,
Jason

Ity would be nice to have proper xhtml embedding of videos - without <embed> tag.
Example:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="355" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/nOmlrD_EeDQ&amp;rel=0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nOmlrD_EeDQ&amp;rel=0" /></object>

Works fine for ff and ie

[GoodKarmaKid]

that would be nice, didn't notice until this was posted but all pages that have videos on them don't validate at w3c.org which is disappointing ;(
