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.

Works With:

vBulletin [3.6.X to 3.7.0 beta 3]
vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

6. Koreus Video v1.0.1

8. video.google.co.uk v1.0.2
9. Live Leak v1.0.2
10. Photobucket v1.0.3
11. Gametrailers v1.0.3
12. MyVideo v1.0.4
13. GameSpot v1.0.4

is there a module like this that works with blog?

thanks

It works for the blog owner for the initial post, this is the best that can be done without hard coding, from what passivevid said in a much earlier post

Ok Guys sorry to be a bit thick but i want to have a go at installing this but cant quite figure it out, this is my 1st time installing a mod

Could someone run me through it

ie: open admin........then what???

Many thanks

[Fireproof]

A couple quick questions:

1. Does this work for video links that were posted PRIOR to installing this mod? So if I go back and view old posts, will the videos now be embedded?

2. Does this have an effective on site performance (speed)? Will the users notice the threads displaying more slowly because of the parsing that it has to go through with this mod turned on?

Thanks in advance.

I installed it and try posting in blog but the video didn't appear. only the link
any ideas?

[Coders Shack]

it would be a good idea to actually Uninstall the previous version. So the new default settings appear in the ACP.

As for performance decrease its a matter of 100MS on showthread.

I installed this and so far have only tested a YouTube video. It embedded and played properly, but the URL is displayed on top where the title should be. I read through the other posts and the impression I get is that I need vbSEO to get the actual title. Is this correct or is this a bug? Thanks, this will be fabulous once I get the video title in there.

Hi mate,

Thanks for this great hack. I just wanna know if it is possible to let the hack support videos from this website www.movieweb.com. I've ready posted a message regarding that but maybe you didn't notice it as u get many posts a day.

Thanks,

[Animecraving]

when will you add megavideo... i wonder xD

[Coders Shack]

Its not a bug, that the link title is not changing. (you can however manually title the link and it will work). vBSEO does this for you already.

If im feeling nice i may look into actually creating something that does it so you dont need vbseo. (just for video sites though)

[Soliloquy]

Ah ha, I see how to add the title now. Thanks!
