YouTube BB Code (W3C-compliant!) · **Released**: 10-21-2008

I searched for a decent YouTube BB code tag here, but every single one of them uses the embed tag, which is an illegal XHTML tag. I set out to find a way to create a W3C-compliant YouTube BB code tag, and this is what you see here.

Title: YouTube
BB Code Tag Name: youtube
Replacement:

HTML Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" width="644" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}</a></object>

Example: [youtube]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube]
Description: Embed a YouTube video. You only put the video ID in between the BB code tags (NOT the full URL!). Embedding must be enabled for the video!
Use Option: No
Image:

Important Note!
A link to the YouTube video is displayed if the YouTube video fails to load. There are a variety of reasons this might occur:

- You didn't properly enter the video ID between the BB code tags.
- You don't have the latest version of Flash.
- You are using Firefox and have a conflicting extension (AdBlock, NoScript, a Greasemonkey script, etc).
- The video doesn't allow embedding.
- You have some other problem on your end (corrupt browser install, spyware, virus, etc.).
- YouTube is currently having a problem.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=193151 supposedly does it, but several of the comments don't look too good. Plus, his code isn't W3C compliant.

Thanks

I just updated this to include a new tag (youtubehd) which enables embedding YouTube's new HD mode.

And I just updated it once more to add support for HQ mode (which is better than regular but worse than HD).

Thank you.

Installed the HQ version so far. Not sure I have ever seen an HQ video yet

Most of the HD videos I see on youtube are at 1280x720. The HD tag embeds at 630x380. Changing the size in the embed code seems to work, but is there anything else to change to get the full size in an embed?

BREAKING NEWS:

I don't know if YouTube did any tweaking or not, but if you put the embed code from a youtube video between [Youtube] embed code [/YouTube] now, it embeds the video perfectly as well. One of our member just did it and I was shocked. Just wanted to let you guys know

. I have double checked the fact that my html IS turned off.

Installed and working, except when using the "botton" feature it adds spaces around
the video id, so you manually have to remove the extra spaces for it to work.

makes this

[youtubehd]
bIgslPPC1BA
[/youtubehd]

instead of [youtubehd]bIgslPPC1BA[/youtubehd]

Tx again.

But nice and installed. .
