Proper YouTube BBCode Tag now available

[Costello]

I've added a better YOUTUBE BBcode tag to replace the annoying old one

The OLD one worked this way:

[youtube]VRnQxCF-UcQ[/youtube]

I haven't removed it completely, it is still available as

[yt]VRnQxCF-UcQ[/yt]

The NEW one works more intuitively (choose the way you prefer):

1. [youtube]VRnQxCF-UcQ[/youtube] similar to old one
2. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRnQxCF-UcQ[/youtube] ---> regular link
3. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRnQxCF-UcQ&hd=1[/youtube]ÂÂ---> HD
4. [youtube]http://youtu.be/VRnQxCF-UcQ[/youtube]ÂÂ---> short link
5. [youtube]http://youtu.be/VRnQxCF-UcQ?hd=1[/youtube] --->ÂÂshort link, HD

this covers pretty much all possibilities.
you no longer have to worry about how to post a youtube video properly

I'm guessing others still work too, like &autoplay, #t=XmXXs, etc?

Edit: also awesome. I remember requesting this ages ago. Thanks

Finally!
I hated having to single out that unique video code when posting YT videos.

no, additional options have been disabled, purposedly.
you don't want to allow people to autoplay videos on a forum like this.

Maybe the time option (#t=XmXXs) wouldn't be that bad to have

It's pretty useful sometimes.

Thank you! This is very useful

I didn't have trouble with the old tag, but at least it's even less of a problem now, I guess. I'm glad the old tag was kept though; better to have the choice.

I'd prefer keeping time-specific tags with the new tag though, if possible.

Yay, this is kinda awesome ^~^
Thanks, Costy

Same opinion as ProtoKun, there was nothing wrong with the old tag but now we have this tag, so it's great I guess..

 

[ProtoKun7]

Well, maybe nothing wrong for those of us who knew how to use it, but in any case, it's good that both are still available (especially as if for any reason I want to use the older control style I can just use the old tag). I've found myself using this new one a couple of times already, so it's choice rather than preference, I think.

I discovered a bug. When multiple different Youtube videos are grouped together, they all turn into the first video. I'm not sure I worded that properly so look at the example, below.

what do you mean by "grouped together"?

See my post in your test topic.


Grouping them doesn't seem to be the problem, the notation is.

It seems to work with the original Youtube tag (yt), though.

That's exactly what I got a while ago. When putting a couple YouTube links in one post using the new BB code, the videos duplicate (when trying to view them, the second, third, fourth and so on changes into the first clip) or the place where they should be in the post turns blank. This does not occur when using the older BB code.

Yay! This is going to be very useful.
