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.

How can I make this work with youtube's rss? cause in youtube rss it gives this address http://youtube.com/?v=baaM9AOnul4 instead of http://youtube.com/watch?v=baaM9AOnul4

I'm loving this Add-on.

One thing that has come up recently is the problem with YouTube videos where the YouTube poster has disabled embedding.

When they do that, this add-on still shows the video, but when a user clicks to play it, they get a "Sorry, This video is no longer available" message.

I know that's not something you can work around (or is it?), but I tried to get just the link to show using the [noparse] and [code] vbCodes and the Add-on still parses the url.

Can we get the add-on to check for the [noparse] tags?

Thanks got it. I thought I'd need another variable, but it was vbSEO translating the url to page titles

I know, but not all users know. I prefer to make things a bit n00b friendly if possible.
That is why I prefer a clear looking link they can click on.

My bet is that it has nothing to do with this add-on.
It is how your videocard handles video and puts it on top of normal content, or it has to do with the player of that video site that gives this effect.
I tested IWE FF and O with a Youtube video and the dropdown menu nicely goes over the (playing) video

I try to put a phrase in the HTML code there, but it does not show up, it's just removed.
Is there a way to get phrases working?
I like to have the text I put there in a phrase since I have a multi language board.
