Auto-Embed Videos for vB5 and vB6

[glennrocksvb]

The mod is utilizing and relying on tne existing Video BB Code tags that vB natively supports. If you request vBulletin to add the video title to the vB video embed preview functionality, then this mod would automatically pick that up.

Oh ok I see. So if I get that well, the mod works picks up URLs, check if the domain belongs to a video provider and transform those using the vB video bbcode.

Did I get that right?

[Wobak]

Then I'll write a feature request for you

Create an option panel with one line per video provider, and for each a dropdown menu of all the bbcodes (default/video, and all the custom ones), that would change which bbcodes applies to which provider

Hello Glenn. I just wanted to know, how is the Auto-Embed version 1.5 coming along? Will you add support for Reddit, and Rumble to it as well? I am anxious to get it.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Awesome man. I can't wait to get a hold of it.

glennrocksvb, if somebody wants to just post a link to a video without embedding the video, is there a way for them to do that? Maybe a special bbcode or something would make it possible (I know there was a noparse bbcode at some point).

Hello Glenn. How have you been? Fine, I hope. I wanted to ask you how the is the update version 1.5 coming along for the Auto-Embed videos mod? I am anxiously awaiting it.

[glennrocksvb]

Sorry for the delay. I've found bugs in v1.5 and I'm still in the process of fixing them.

Hello Glenn. I wanted to ask you how is everything coming along with Auto-Embed videos for vBulletin 5, version 1.5? Have you made any progress yet?

Anyway, please get back to me, as I am anxiously awaiting this mode.

[Wobak]

Another question that comes in : is there a way to embed things correctly when used with the

&t=xxxx

URL ?

At the moment, when a video is embedded, it starts from the beginning no matter what.

Thanks,

[glennrocksvb]

The mod utilizes the built-in YouTube embed feature of vBulletin and it doesn't support adding the start time in the URL. Let me see if there's a way for a third-party plugin to implement that.

any plan to include dropbox videos?

Is it possible to play this video hosted on Dropbox within site?

Dropbox does not have an built-in embed option to insert videos like YouTube and and other video providers do.

It might still be possible to embed a Dropbox video using the browser's native video player using the <video> tag. But remember that when embedding a file like that, there are bandwidth limitations to consider. Depending on the size of the file and your account type, you could easily use up all of allotted bandwidth for your Dropbox account.
