We Now Have YouTube and Google Video BBcode and ATS!

YouTube and Google Video BBcode!

We now have an integrated ability for anyone to embed videos from YouTube and Google Video into forum posts (ATS only for now).

The tags are simple: "gvid" for Google, and "yvid" for YouTube.

YouTube Example:
[yvid](video number)[/yvid]
[yvid]PnyIf0g2Kh4[/yvid]

YouTube Link

Google Video Example:
[gvid](DOC ID)[/gvid]
[gvid]PnyIf0g2Kh4[/gvid]

Google Video Link

kick a**!

Thanks SO! This will come in handy. Looking forward to it coming to bts soon.

What are the restrictions? I'm sure the content will be subject to the T&C as always, but is there a size limit, or anything like that? Also, Will this lead to the development of a specific forum dedicated to user videos similar to podcasts?

Very exciting indeed, and a great addition to the ATS possibilities.

Thumbs up guys

We are looking at the possibility of developing our own video uploading and sharing service, specific to ATS topics --> video.abovetopsecret.com

If all goes well, it will work as easily as podcasting on ATS does.

Stay tuned.

Thats really great! Many times I have wanted to embed but never was able to. This is a great upgrade.
Thanks for the U2U

That is awesome! Thanks to the admin for yet another addition to the many features we enjoy here on ATS.

What a great feature to go along with our podcasts that we already have.

Awsome! You know I wanted to make a request for this but didnt bother.

This is dead cool

Was about time.

Good job guys. So far all the bulletin boards around the net had installed the codes for video. phpbb, vbulletin etc. ATS needs it more then everybody else

The Overlord Does It Again!

A great new offering at a very reasonable price.

S.O, I think you might want to make the autoplay option inoperative.

Example:

Might give some old folks a coronary...

Amazing addition.

Thank You!

Aw c'mon! A little Megadeth won't hurt nobody.



(It would probably be a good idea to disable the embedding in the Topic Review list when replying to posts as well.)

Trust that it will be done the "ATS Way".

Well I for one would welcome this feature as I (and I'm sure others) that may have wanted to contribute or share a video report or a possible UFO capture would now have the position to do so without having to 'upload' it to a free 'time-limited' service (that required visits at least once a month or would expire ones account).

I applaud the continued enhancements by 'team amigos'...!


Kudos,
Johnny

Dave Mustaine and I would also agree, but a battle of the Youtube bands thread might cause birds to fall out of the sky and Grandmas to go postal.

Poof be gone!...S.O. has waved his magic coding wand....

I have a question.
Granted I am not very tech savvy, but with the old way of doing it I could go right to video google and download the video. I cant seem to do that with this new way. How can I download videos that I want now?

That would be awesome Skeptic,this website just keeps gettin better and better....................

SO, you have outdone yourself once again, this is why ATS is the best discussion forum website on the net.

Wow! This is WONDERFUL! This way we can even load our OWN flash presentations into our message posts by first loading them onto a video hosting server!

Thanks ATS! This new feature is super cool!
