That's neat. I just want to report that the "Watch on youtube" button doesn't work for me (FF24 and Chrome). I don't know if it's an issue with Google's API, the forum's handling of it or somehow a browser problem on FF and Chrome but I had to report it!
EDIT : Also, you get the error message "You cannot use certain BBCodes: [flash]." if you try to embed. It's certainly a permission issue.

The permission issue should now be fixed.

Thanks a lot antti. I know you have more important work to do... But still - if you have a minnute, check it again please... I can se only white rectangle (flash iframe probably in size 320x200). No adblocks, In FF and Chrome and IE I can see the same - an on the different PC as well...
Sol_HSA's "tutorial" video (dunno if it's standard youtube). Try to click here (it's yours working video url): http://youtube.com/v/kGQdUhvc7jU and it will redirect you..

You need to format the URL a little differently to get the embedding to work. Instead of linking to the whole video page (with all the comments and whatnot) you need to link directly to the flash video like so:Leki wrote:Thanks a lot antti.

Code: Select all
This is the correct way: [flash=320,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/KGdx15KM9mc[/flash]
This won't work: [flash=320,200]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGdx15KM9mc[/flash]
You can get the embeddable URL from a video if you go to Embed -> Use old embed code. From there, don't copy the whole block, just that URL. It's also pretty easy to format the youtube video page URL by hand too by replacing "watch?v=" with "v/".
I hope this helps!

I already tried to do "/v/" before I asked for an assistance - as you can see it in my Monsters threat:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5230&p=63810#p63810
And I got that white rectangle, but now you can see the video without issue... so why it didn't work is behind my understanding
Anyway thanks a lot and have a nice day!
