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]

How do I get the video number if I need to post one?I can't find it.

thanks, thanks, and thanks!!!

this is a great new feature

but, to make it easier for people not familiar with bbcode / ATS features in general, we should have two buttons for these new features...

we have buttons for texts, hyperlinks, images, and everything else, so why not have two buttons for youtube videos and google videos???

Each video has a code on it.

www.youtube.com...

the hBRjiLPNJAA would be Youtube's code

video.google.com...

Not sure if in the case of Google if the - and &hl=en would need to be included but the 1212248580097665293 is definitly the video id

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?

If you click "quote" on the post with the video, you can see the document id which was entered in the post. Then you can go to YouTube or Google, find the video there and do whatever you do in order to download the video.

A quick question.

Is it possible to have this tags as icons in the panel when we write a new post?

Thanks

When I put that in all it gives me is a blank screen and at the bottom a "Youtube" link..

Can you help??

Here is the embedded code for the video I am trying to embed..

object width="425" height="350"> "http://www.youtube.com/v/ssiiA4LmHgA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="350">

here is the public url

www.youtube.com...

Don't know what I am doing wrong..

Mind blowing!! ATS just keeps getting better and better!! What's next?
Cheers! And keep up the good work!

Try to put only ssiiA4LmHgA between tags.

That's how it works.

Hopefully you won't try this stunt later, when you've had a few more drinks...

this is terrific news ,hope to capture more strange phenomenon going on in the creepy old abandoned houses around here...or the homeless drifters chasing me out!

I just wanna have a go and test it...
