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]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

Any ideas?

i'd pay if you could make it work for sigs , and http://video.sina.com.cn/ or have that youtube button there alternatively just for the noobs.

This is a great concept but it looks like the next solution (v1.2) is not going to be ready in time and I need something fairly urgently, is there anything else on the same lines that is commercially available and supported - sorry to ask Coders Shack ..

this is due to the owner of the youtube video, they are disabling embeds.

there may be a solution in 1.2.0 for this

[mooncreek]

I might pay if it worked for Brightcove. See my post and PM yesterday.

I have the same problem and I've done some testing. Both $PASSIVEURL and $PASSIVETITLE return the same data, the url, at least with a youtube vid. 3.7.0.

I am willing to pay a couple of bucks for a license, it's a nice hack.

$PASSIVETITLE in 1.1.2 only works if you have VBSEO

but the new version will actually grab titles upon submission like vbseo.
