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]

Was EASportsWorld not possible? Or am I over looking something?

[movslow]

Got it, works great thanks!!

[NOCR]

thanks, buddy. I installed painlessly on my vB 3.6... is it true that 3.7 does it automatically?

[rushabh]

Great hack, works like a charm. Thank you for sharing.

[militarytuners]

I'll try this out.

[aciurczak]

What does the hack do for youtube videos that have embedding disabled?

[edytwinky]

Any plans of Hulu working with this?

installed 2.0 full and on my vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1 it's not working...the interface in vbulletion options looks totally different than the screenshot. The support site is down and I followed the directions to the letter (not a newb at this). Any known issues that are preventing this from working? it says Works With: vBulletin [3.6.X to 3.7.0 beta 3] so I should be fine

Installing Passive Video 2.0

1. First, unzip the Passive Video zip file you downloaded from the licenses area to your hard disk.
2. Upload the entire contents of the 'upload/' folder to your web server, in the same directory where vBulletins showthread.php is located.
3. Install the product-passivevideo.xml
4. Rebuild the foruminfo (AdminCp -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Forum Information)

The entire installation process should take no more than five minutes.

it looks like the 2.0 full I bought isn't compatible with vbulleting 3.6x after all...rolled back to the latest freebie version and it's working again but not with streetfire which is why I was trying 2.0
