Posting Youtube videos

[Chutney]

Lately, I've noticed a lot of people having trouble posting up videos from youtube. I'll leave this thread up here as reference, since the off-topic forum tends to have a lot more videos in it.


1. When you find a video you want to post, find the URL that is found right next to the video:

<div align="center">

</div>

2. Within the URL is a code that you need to find. The series of numbers/letters after "v=" is what you're looking for:

<div align="center">

</div>

3. Insert that code within the youtube tags:

<div align="center">

</div>


And voila....

<div align="center">Invalid Video Link</div>

Thanks Chutney, I had no idea how to do this. Propz.

Just had to try it out...

Invalid Video Link

Thanks Chutney.

EDIT: Nevermind.

-----------------------------
Check the tutorial again. You just have to put in the series of letters/numbers/dashes after "v=."

<div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

Thanks Chutney.

EDIT: Nevermind.

</div>You only have to put the portion of the URL that's after the equals sign in the [youtube] tags, not the entire thing.

Damn, two hours?? What connection do you have? Usually even the biggest uploads only take 4 or 5 minutes.

It's not working for me, can I have an example?</p>

<-- click this button on editor (to the right of the smiley)</p>

You paste the URL from YouTube, as explained in the first post, in the popup dialog for the editor. Click the insert button.</p>

I am going to implement the [youtube][/youtube] bbcode as well. </p>

 

[bbwMax]

What i don't understand is that the usual limit is 10 minutes or there abouts but i see videos on there over an Hour long sometimes. Hows that?

 

[ghoti]

Embedding doesn't work for me initially, but if I hit edit and save after I originally post it works fine.

 

[Arrpy]

I prefer to just post the link. It's much eaiser.

 

[M Two One]

Chutney, you've got to update this thread, bro.

 

[Chutney]

Denny gave a good summary of how to embed youtube videos right now (click that button, set the type to "Flash," and paste the full url). Once he's done adding the [youtube] tags, I'll create another thread giving step-by-step instructions for both methods.

 

[Denny Crane]

![youtube] tags should be working now.</p>

Argh</p>

James didn't realize the url in the embed tag and in the url are different. He's fixing it.</p>

[bbwMax]

What has happened to the video thing next to the insert Picture on the Bar Above?</p>

Althought i still know how to do Videos it was always more convienient that way.</p>
