Youtube Tag

[GenePeer]

You should add a youtube tag that works better than [Flash]. I recently disable flash since it was making my computer slow (esp. when opening that "what are you listening to?" thread). Instead I use Youtube HTML5 and it works just fine but I can't view videos embedded on this site.

Can you simply add a youtube tag like [youtube] or edit the Flash tag (it's only used for youtube anyway) to add the new option?

Usage

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://{SIMPLETEXT}youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

Html replacement:

Code: Select all

<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="430" height="320" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{IDENTIFIER}" frameborder="0">
</iframe>

and users would post videos like

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMmy212DyWs[/youtube]

Not only will this make it easier to post Youtube videos (just inserting video's URL in tags), but it will also make people like us who have Youtube HTML5 enabled (and flash disabled) to watch it in the faster HTML5.

<iframe></iframe> is also the now default embedding method that replaced <object></object

Adding this shouldn't be hard as shown here: Adding Custom BBCodes in phpBB3

^They better change it or make me admin...

oops, the usage code is:

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://{SIMPLETEXT}youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

not

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://{SIMPLETEXT}youtube.com/watch/v={IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

I've now updated the OP.

This would be awesome, the Flash tag always gives me trouble.

great suggestion, I'll link it to the admins

[GenePeer]

So aren't the admin's even going to say its not possible?

This is fucking sad. A week now, no response. I'm guessing the joke is to leave me hanging

I completely agree with this, posting YouTube videos needs to be simpler than it currently is. Great idea
