Auto-Embed Videos for vB5 and vB6

[glennrocksvb]

Mitch, Facebook might be testing this new Reel URL format to certain groups of people. It seems the /share/r/<shareid> URL format is part of Facebook's effort to track shared content. Essentially, Facebook is using a shareable "share ID" to differentiate between content being viewed directly versus content being shared through their platform. But that poses a challenge on using the share id url format for embed because Facebook embed requires video id and not share id. Adding support for Facebook reels with /share/r/<shareid> URL format would require the vBCloud mod version to use AWS to create a Proxy API which is a similar solution I did for GIPHY for vBCloud mod.

mito22, I wonder what URL format you get when you click the Share icon in a reel and choose Copy link?

It works on my end. Try clearing your browser cache and then reload the page.

And when you paste video links, make sure it is not hyperlinked. It should be plain text.

Normal with copy paste. Now.... nothing

As I mentioned in my previous post, make sure when the video URL is pasted into the editor that it is not hyperlinked. When you highlight a link and copy it, the browser copies the link including the formatting. Then when you press CTRL+V or CMD+V or paste it, the browser pastes the copied link with the formatting. This results in the pasted text displayed as hyperlink. This is how rich-text format editors work. This is the same behavior when pasting into a Word or Google Docs document. There are 2 solutions to get around it:

1. When you paste, do it using right-click and then choose "Paste as plain text". Pasting as plain text does not include formatting. OR
2. Do not highlight and copy a hyperlink, instead, right-click on the link and then choose "Copy link address". This copies the link without formatting. Then when you paste, no formatting is included.

mito22, do you still encounter the issue? Please reload the page and try again and follow the notes in my previous post about how to paste the video link.

Hello Glen. I was wondering, do you think that you could make rumble also work in the next release? I am not sure if it's possible. However, rumble is just like YouTube. Do you think that you can throw in Rumble also? I hope that I am not asking for too much. Also, I have a few questions. I would like to add reddit to the list, if it's possible. All of these videos from these companies, work on XenForo. They even are able to Run Reddit. I find that I have to use HTML On
Convert Linebreaks; which I really don't want to do. I would like to include all of the aforementioned.
