As the title says.

Thanks,

When you post a video, options are then presented (with code, select and copy) for embeding. I dont remmember exactly how it went, but the instruction were good, and was easy to insert onto another site code. The site it was copied to, then presented a video box with a play button.

Ok, I'll try that,

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2xrVV9w-yE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2xrVV9w-yE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Edit, didn't work.

Mike.

Hi Eric,

I want to embed a video here. The code I posted above and shown on the page you linked to is for embedding it in your own web page. I know it can be done because AtomSoft has done it.

Mike.

Ahh, for posting here, you didnt say that in the original post.

 

[Pommie]

I worked it out be quoting AtomSofts post and you simply put [embed] ... [/embed] around it,
[embed]http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2xrVV9w-yE&hl=en&fs=1[/embed]

Edit, I was nearly right, you have to use the URL from the embedded code above.

Mike.

ERROR: this info is about posting a link not embeding the actual video.

I have not done it but from looking at others you need the following sort of link. I added the 3 underscores to keep it from parsing. You should be able to get the url when you post to utube.

[_url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgvVfttWZj4]YouTube - thisone.mov[_/url_]

Many thanks 3V0.

 

[bassnut]

wow, nice one Pommie, quick work.

The bold underlined text is the youtube name for your video.

zgvVfttWZj4[/U]]YouTube - thisone.mov

Insert the name into this line but without the underscores.
[_embed]http://www.youtube.com/v/HERE&hl=en&fs=1[/embed_]

I just used the link in the embedded source that you tube supply. So it becomes [embed]http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2xrVV9w-yE&hl=en&fs=1[/embed].

A tip, to post tags such as [embed] and [/embed] without them being parsed enter a [B][/B] in the middle of one of them. (just click the bold button.)

Mike.

I use copy and paste of the http code which is given on the RHS of the YouTube video clip.
That links works with no problems.
Don't know how to change the text though.
