[BB Code] YouTube embedded video

I didnt see anyone else release this so i thought i'd release it

What this code does is allow your members to embed YouTube Videos
into their posts. As YouTube url's always begin with http://www.youtube.com/v/
all your users need to do is copy and paste the last bit of url (found on the
YouTube site for whatever video they want to post) inside the tags (see the example below).

To Install:
1. Go To Admin CP
2. Scroll down the left nav and select Custom BB Codes
3. Add New BB Code
4. Fill in the following:

Title: YouTube BB Code
Tag: yt (You can change this to whatever you prefer, yt is just nice and small )
Replacement:

<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>

Example: [yt]ejOJkcs-a7s[/yt]
Description: Embeds You Tube Videos
Use {Option}: No

Enjoy! (Although its not much, this is my first release on vb.org )

But real quick I actually made it so the videos AUTO PLAY! which is pretty cool so your users dont have to click play, here is that code:

PHP Code:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&autoplay=1"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> 


Can you please elaborate on this a little? Which part of the code do you modify? I tried several ways with no success.

it worked well initially. But I do not understand why it does not work today?

I got this.

rKpeDIFeV6U&autoplay=1">rKpeDIFeV6U&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350">

I have added to my site, but can't get the YouTube video to embed.

What part of the code are we to input? Here's the code I'm trying to get embeded:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjVSjQpowMM

Seems that YouTube has changed their code to all start with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= I've changed the BB Code to start with this, but still no go. I wonder if YouTube caught on to this and changed their code to battle it?

Here's what I changed the code to read:

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

Thanks,

We are using the original code that Danny posted and it still works fine for us.

<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>

</embed>
</object>

Anyway, thanks for the mod.

This code was needed to work with internet explorer 7
Thanks

This only seems to apply to IE. It takes 2 clicks to get the video playing in IE and 1 in firefox.

Any way around this to make IE a single click?
