HOWTO: Post an embedded Youtube video

[l0g1c]

Since we can finally embed, I wrote up a little tutorial. It's really simple, but I figured maybe it would save someone 5 minutes or something.

Take the values from the Youtube embed code
width=
height=

And put them in as parameters for the bbcode. i.e. on the end, and you're good.

Tip: If you want to make it HD, add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL.

Example of Youtube embed code:

Code: Select all

<object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G7Hzu7UYYDI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G7Hzu7UYYDI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object>

Resulting forum tags:

Code: Select all

[flash=640,505]http://www.youtube.com/v/G7Hzu7UYYDI&hl=en&fs=1[/flash]

Result:


Credit to DoomBrain, since I looked at one of his old posts in the Void to figure it out.

Great, now all the fuckin idiots will do it.

This was one ban that was good.

[l0g1c]

u perturbed?

[ForM]

Next will be over loading on the "oject" hight" "width"

It's all been done. As I recall it was a reason why it was bant.

[Peenyuh]

Don't blame l0g1c. I learnt it from LawL.

[ForM]

Most of you did not see the extent of mayhem that this allows.

The door is now open.

Mayhem will ensue.

[ForM]

Doomer, if you were a smart man, you would keep this ban.

People forget. Every generation needs its wars. Sad, but true.

ForM, tell us how you really feel about it...

[l0g1c]

Form, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop shitting all over my thread. I wrote it to be helpful. If you're really that upset, start your own thread to cry in.

yes it cool that we can post flash, however a HOWTO topic was probably a bad idea. let people figure it out on their own. it will keep the dumb people from doing it.

[Tsakali]

right because only the smart ones should force on us what they find interesting

[DTS]

The fullscreen button's not working.

[Scourge]

He's right, this cannot end well.

[Peenyuh]

Sure it can. We're all really tolerant and understanding people. We show great amounts of courtesy and love fer each other. How could it NOT end well.

oh ffs... thousands of websites across teh tubes allow imbedding... hyperbole much?

[LawL]

Can it not be changed so that the size can not be determined by the person embedding? Every other site I've posted on allows you to embed but doesn't give the option to choose the size.

Also lol @ old man Form's bitter, bitter tears.
