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.

vBulletin [3.6.X to 3.7.0 beta 3]
vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

Does not work for youtube with me anymore - I always get "Video is no longer available - if I open the video on youtube it works though.

Example: http://www.united-forum.de/showthrea...09#post1457409

Any ideas?

edit: Some Videos still seem to work, I can't see why.

Example for a working one: http://www.united-forum.de/showthread.php?t=68736

Does this work on vBulletin 3.7.0? I see that it works on 3.7.0 beta 3, but waht about the gold version? This is exactly what I need, so I hope so. Thanks.

[D.Baker]

I just tried it on 3.7.0 and it seems to be working. If I have an issues I'll post them here.

[FiX]

It does work on 3.7 for me to, but some videos don't.

Could you please test this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKWMl90FOAY&=fmt18

I get an error saying its not available, even though it is.

edit: Reinstalled the Plugin, no it works.

Same here. Am I using an incorrect link? This is the truncated link form I'm trying to post.

I'm using passivevid 1.1.2 on VB 3.70.

Hey FiX, you clip seemed to work fine. Have a look here at my post with a little explanation here: http://www.popmag.com.au/forums/showthread.php?p=12

Mooncreek, your video doesn't work even if I just browse to it. It says it doesn't exist.

Hello,

at first thank you for the great hack.
I see that when I put (for example) 2 Videos from youtube in one thread only one is processed.
Is it also possible to have more then 1 Video in one Thread? (If yes, how to do?)

The other thing I want ask if it also is possbile to add GMX Vidoe into the list of possible Sites?

Thank you for the help and the great hack.

Greetings
Hans
