Is there a way to allow Admins to post embedded video into a vBulletin post? I have HTML turned off for all user groups except for Admin. After giving the admin profile HTML permission, I still can't get an embedded video to play.

Is this possible with vBulletin?

Thanks!

Sample embed that I'd like to use:

Code:

<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=5752494390378871865&hl=en"> </embed>

If you have HTML enabled for admins only, try this barebone variation.

Code:

<embed src=http://www.myvideo.avi autostart=true hidden=false loop=false width=400 height=326></embed>

Code:

<embed src=http://www.myflashfile.swf width=400 height=326></embed>

I had the same problem, until I discovered that dropping the quotation marks "" and stripping the embed code down allowed it to work.

Let me know if that helps you.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunatley I can't seem to make it work.

I have HTML permission set to yes in the Admin user group only, is there another setting I need to make to enable this?

I also have Allow Usergroups to Post HTML modification installed for admins only. Even with that installed I was still having trouble with variables that had quotation marks "" on them. I removed the "" and the problem was solved, but like I also said not only did I have to remove the "" from variables, but I had to signicantly strip down the code to the bare essentials.

And like Loco.M said there are also hacks for specifically using flash videos and windows media player for MP3s. You might try the "Allow HTML" mod or the the other two and like I said drop the "" and keep only essential code (drop the flash player check and download for example).

Many thanks! I'll try the hacks and report back

Would you agree that the basic install of vBulletin (3.6) makes it tough to play videos?
