Thats a great hack. Will it work once install for ever I mean VB 3.7 and future version or we will need to update in every new VB version?

[DJRavine]

indeed it will... its just using a simple object embeded in html...
its all up to the client [web browser] to have the plugin installed...
so it will indeed work on any version of vbulletin...

Is there any way to add an option to expand to full screen? It works quite well with the Internet Archive Films.

Any way to put a play/pause button in there so it doesn't start automatically?
