Miscellaneous Hacks - Updated bbcode_video template with available HTML5 Players

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5

NEW- April 5, 2013- Updated Facebook to HTML5, flash player stopped working!

The template bbcode_video is the one that decides what embed code is used for the built in video embedding sites.

This template relies mostly on Flash- only YouTube was ever updated to HTML5 in the stock bbcode_video template of VB 4.2.0.

This new edit has HTML5 Players available for Vimeo and Dailymotion as well. It also has the code there that was to help IE6 compatibility removed as 4.2.0 officially dropped support for IE6 anyway.

I have also made some of the video screens larger where appropriate.

The benefits of HTML5 players is they will work on iPads, iPhones, and all current Android/mobile devices. Flash does not.

To use this simply copy the code below and paste it into your template bbcode_video, deleting what used to be there.

If you have any trouble simply "revert" the template back to the original.

Repeat the above for each style you have.

New bbcode_video template (Tested on 4.2.0):

<vb:if condition="$provider == 'hulu'">

<object width="512" height="288">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/{vb:raw code}"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/{vb:raw code}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true"></embed>
</object>

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />

<iframe class="restrain" title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}?wmode={vb:raw wmode}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube_share'" />
<iframe class="restrain" title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}?wmode={vb:raw wmode}" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'vimeo'" />

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/{vb:raw code}?portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'dailymotion'" />

<iframe frameborder="0" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/{vb:raw code}"></iframe>
	
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'metacafe'" />

<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="380" data="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/{vb:raw code}.swf">
	<param name="movie" value="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/{vb:raw code}.swf" />
	<param name="wmode" value="{vb:raw wmode}" />
</object>

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'google'" />

<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="326" data="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid={vb:raw code}">
	<param name="movie" value="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid={vb:raw code}" />
	<param name="wmode" value="{vb:raw wmode}" />
</object>
	
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'facebook'" />

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id={vb:raw code}" width="720" height="450" frameborder="0"></iframe>

</vb:if>

The above has all known/available HTML5 players, but Flash players where HTML5 is not yet available.

It's not a matter of me including it- Adding other sites/types here won't let them work. The only video sites it will look for are the built in sites (YouTube, Vimeo, etc..)

There is a mod, Automatic Media Embedder 3 that will let you add additional sites.

Be sure to read the whole thread because IIRC there are several manual fixes you need to make to get it working with 4.2.x.

Thanks, voted.

Excellent and quick fix, now users on ipad can view vimeo videos

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
Unclosed Tag
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Hi BOP, just tried to upload this and I got this warning. Anything to worry about mate?

[BirdOPrey5]

Yes, you shouldn't get that.

Make sure you deleted all the old content and make sure you copied all the new content. Note the code box you are copying from is more than the text you see, you need to scroll down in the code box to get all the code.

Make sure you are running VB 4.x. This only works on 4.x, not 5.x.

Yeah works cool love the share options at the top of the player. Yeah you were right I didn't have all the code

Anybody know how to make the youtube video's fullscreen from the website?

Edit: Thanks BOP5.

P.S= Working on vBulletin 4.2.3

I've edited the code in the first post so that the YouTube code will now allow the full screen button to show.

Thanks

Do you know how to add facebook videos?
Example: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamSing...3926357545620/

I have FB platform enabled.

^ I used that to create a BB code & edited the same template (just the FB code part).

However, I don't want it as a BB code. I want it to work straight from the video bb code & I don't want to just paste the ID of the video, but instead the entire link.

Any idea how?
