Embed YouTube And Google Videos In Your Posts

[Zap]

I've installed the plugin that allows members to drop YouTube videos right into their posts.

Instructions:
1. Get the video code from the YouTube website.
Example YouTube URL=hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE7uMjWJmbA
You need the pE7uMjWJmbA part.

2. Inside your post, just use the (YT)(/YT) tags with the video code in between the tags.
And use square brackets [] instead of rounded ones () or it won't work.

Code it like this...
pE7uMjWJmbA
...and you'll get this...
pE7uMjWJmbA

Now I understand their incredible success! Create Toyota, Toshiba, Sony, etc. or we'll whack your nuts with a metal bar.

I'm never going to apply to do a game show there! Ouchy!!

[Muddy]

Hey Julien, take a peek at Zap's instructions up top. Much easier than doing the whole embedding thing! ;)

[julien_simon]

funny, I was reading the instructions again, then scrolled down and read your post....

[krisma5]

Totally:hippie:

[julien_simon]

I tend not to read manuals carefully.

Want to put that furniture together? Screw the book and hand me the screw driver.

What do you mean there is no screws left??

[Muddy]

Screw the book...

That's what she said.

Same here. Who needs the manual?

[ewomack]

I once read a manual on sex that contained an unfortunate typo. I'll have to explain later.

An unfortunate hippo?

[krisma5]

What in the HELL was that all about??

[ewomack]

Remember when you were a kid and time dragged by like tepid sludge? Well, just imagine that you also have sophisticated internet tools, video editing, cameras, microphones, and an entire multimedia studio at your beck and call. I think this situation explains 95% of YouTube content.

I still can't get Google video's to work here. I tried just the number, the whole url, everything after docid=, the number including docid= and still it doesn't seem to work.

Shame, there are some pretty good documentaries on there.

[Muddy]

C & P the info between = and &. If it was embedded somewhere else or you clicked it from another video, it will have an ampersand and more in the string, which you don't want.

[Muddy]

What the hell is the matter with me? i was thinking YT which of course you have been posting...never mind me. Sorry.

[Ferre]

What do I need to do to get this video working?

Here is the code that I used, with a space before the last character:

Now I think I got it, thanks Atom. :sqbiggrin:

[Atom]

Now I think I got it, thanks Atom. :sqbiggrin:

Cool. I'm no coder, I just get lucky once in a while, lol.

I think you just need the characters after the equals symbol. I'm not sure what that pound symbol means, but, I gae the damned thing the boot. lol

P.S. My (you know which letter by examining the ^ post) key on my keyboard isn't working. I'll hae to see if I can fix that sucker.

[Ferre]

In the meantime, here's a v and a capital V in case you want to copy&paste

[Atom]

In the meantime, here's a v and a capital V in case you want to copy&pasteThanks, but I've already copied one from the Windows Character Map, much appreciated though. It's a real PITA when just one letter isn't working, especially if one has OCD, which is an affliction that I suspect I may well have. lol

[ewomack]

Careful, you may start embedding surreptitious characters... then you'll be diabolical and need to grow one of those pointy beards... see how confusing it all is?

Hehhe, I'm doing that regulary, I use this one; Ⓐ

[Atom]

Hehhe, I'm doing that regulary, I use this one; ⒶI see those numbers in a square occasionally but I have no idea what they are, or what they are called so I can look them up.

[Ferre]

The one I use (Ⓐ) is the international anarchist symbol/logo.

[Atom]

The one I use (Ⓐ) is the international anarchist symbol/logo.Oh. But I see ones with different numbers in them and was wondering what they were called.

[Atom]

I had a look in the Windows Character Map but didn't see any.

[ewomack]

Do these show up?

りんごを食べませんでした。

[Strong]

This is what I see:

[Doc]

Do these show up?

りんごを食べませんでした。

They show up fine for me, Ed. Korean, or Chinese?

Edit: Never mind. I was wrong on both counts!

[Atom]

Do these show up?

りんごを食べませんでした。Yes, except in my email notification, there they are just empty squares.

[Sami4u]

Hi,

So what does it say?

Sami

[Atom]

Damned if I know. I think it's Unicode.

[Doc]

Hi,

So what does it say?

Sami

りんごを食べませんでした。 = "I didn't eat an apple."

I guess the doctor won't be kept away, then.

Viewing special characters like those mainly depends on the charachter encoding of a page. Most (well coded) websites will have the encoding set by default to whatever the webmaster wanted to use, but it can always be overridden by the user via their browser (e.g. in FF go to View>Character Encoding) - which is probably why Muddy cannot see the characters while others here can (probably set to UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 or something along those lines).

? I can see 'em.

[Atom]

I suspect that the numbers in the squares mean something only to the decoding program. If the numbers were decoded, what would we see? Symbols? Images?

[Atom]

I wonder if the folks that actually understand these mysterious representations are having a good laugh right about now.
lol

[Atom]

Sure Ed consists of only two letters, but it is sophisticated, not like Mo or anything.
lol

[Atom]

Damn it all to dust anyway, Ed, what does it all mean?
I suspect that you are calling me names again, what am else I to think?

lol

What for you are such talking?

[Atom]

What for you are such talking?Wait..don't tell me, Italian/Chinese/Mexican?

[Muddy]

Sounds good! You buyin'? lol!

[Atom]

The actual reason I posted ill grammar is due to my having just seen Peter Griffin do it the other night, I think that Family Guy is somehow subliminally affecting my life. lol

[Muddy]

Now why would you say that Peter?

[tsdesigns]

? I can see 'em.

Sorry...I ment to say Strong. No idea why I got you two confused :sqerr:

Oh and atom the numbers do mean something. I can't remember what right now (and am too lazy to look it up, think it's the symbols code or something) but basically theres different "defualt symbols" depending on what the character encoding conflict is (sometimes its that black diamond with a ? inside it, sometimes it's the 2x2 grid with numbers in it, think theres a few more). The 2 I mentioned, I believe ones for UTF conflicts, and the other's for ISO conflicts.

Its been a while since I did anything with char encodings though, I've forgotten most of the details...

[Muddy]

No worries, a day I'm confused with Strong is a step up for me!

And thanks for the coding conflict, Ed. lol

You know TS I checked the character encoding in FF and it was set to Western ISO-8859-1 already. I tried changing it to something else and then back again, it didn't make any difference. :sqconfused:

Does it matter what font I'm using?

Thats weird, cause thats what mine is set to (and I can see them fine) and i'm about 95% sure that a charachter encoding conflict causes those symbols...I'd have to look it up sometime.

I don't think the font should matter, but I guess if the font being used didn't have the right characters then it would have nothing to display, so maybe it does (my font is set to "Times New Roman" if that helps at all).

[Strong]

Same here dude!

You think maybe it is some regional setting within Windows XP? :sqconfused:

[Doc]

Mine is set to ISO-8859-1, too. And I saw them fine. :sqconfused:

[Atom]

Mine is set to ISO-8859-1, too. And I saw them fine. :sqconfused:Can you describe what you saw?

Thats weird, cause thats what mine is set to (and I can see them fine) (...)What is it that you're seeing, can you describe it please? What I see are sets of numbers within squares.

I'll go ya one better than that, Atom...

It's classical Japanese. According to babelfish, it says "I did not eat an apple.":sqerr:

[Atom]

Well if this doesn't raise some witch doctor flags, I don't know what will. I think that Ed may require a thorough inquisition and subsequent exorcism.
