Embedding video - Now WORKING

[Weasel_Loader]

How do we do it? I tried using the video button with a youtube video and pasting the embedding link on youtube between the video code links [video][/video], but after posting, there is nothing there. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Embedding video

I think what I though the video button does is actually embed the youtube video directly on the forum so that you won't be directed to the youtube site itself. It's kind of slick if you can get it to work here. Saves from opening up another page.

That's what I was trying Danny, it doesn't work here ... as you found, if you add the tags, it disappears.

I even tried copying a successful post from the old forum.

Flash you say? hahaha.

[video]<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cdENMU5thH8&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cdENMU5thH8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>[/video]

I used to really enjoy this movie as a kid. And I wasn't even messed up on drugs.

Actually it doesn't appear that flash is enabled, so my joke is lost. Ah well.

Hi, Guys,

Have finally figured how to get the video tags working.

Here's a test one.

Thanks for that clip Bill, amazing stuff. The cockpits shots give a great sense of what's really happening.

 

[Weasel_Loader]

Thanks Bill. Works great now.

There were no videos in any of those posted messages, ans I can't get it to work from youtube
I pasted the link between the [video][video] but nothing happened.
Sorry, I persisted and now it works !

Worked fine for me...

That looks a lot like some stuff I shot in a T-6 as well. I was amazed at how much they bump and rattle around inside, despite looking smooth from the outside.
