Okay, this time for real. But now it's EASIER!

To embed a YouTube video in your post, use this code:

!!! Only use the last part of the URL. htp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2vaKOn9hl4

Okay, now lets try flickr....

That clearly does not work. Can we embed videos from our Flickr accounts?

Posted by: McMark Jun 25 2009, 09:28 PM

Sorry Zach. No Flickr video. YouTube has a fairly simple way to customize which video you're embedding. Flickr is a little more complex and would be more complicated to do and remember.

So you're stuck with YouTube.

My 2nd try; want to see if this one plays on my Ipad

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Mar 15 2011, 10:03 AM

Jim, I see your video just fine.

Zach

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 15 2011, 10:42 AM

Two questions:

1. When I open my video from my laptop, I get an error message; then the Youtube window opens and plays the video. Other videos give same error message, but will play only in the Youtube window

2. From my Ipad, I get a blank box where the video should be. Others, except one, appear normal and play fine. What's up ?

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 15 2011, 10:45 AM

Firewall? I have the same at work because the company firewall blocks all youtube content ...

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 15 2011, 10:46 AM

Posted by: underthetire Mar 15 2011, 10:47 AM

Jim, I get the same thing with the Ipad. If the video was loaded with flash, or some other microsoft-apple battle, they just won't play it. I would have bought a droid tablet before this Ipad any day, but a gift is a gift.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 15 2011, 10:48 AM

Can you see it on an Ipad ? Can I adjust the firewall setting ? I have Norton

Posted by: McMark Mar 15 2011, 11:36 AM

Uh, Flash is Adobe, not Microsoft. And Flash is CRAP.

Jim, I wouldn't expect it to work correctly on an iPad due to there being no Flash on iPad. Flash is the software that makes the video work.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 15 2011, 12:14 PM

From the Ipad I can see all the videos on this thread except the following posts:
3, 33, 35, 36

All the other posts with videos play fine; and they play within the window.

Posted by: McMark Mar 15 2011, 12:41 PM

I'd bet that it has something to do with how YouTube encodes those particular files. The owner of the files can set a few option at upload time. If the wrong options are chosen, perhaps they are not 'iPad compatible'.

Posted by: underthetire Mar 15 2011, 01:40 PM

Didn't mean to imply flash was microsoft, I meant flash or some other microsoft/apple battle

If you use the youtube app to watch video, it will only display what is compatible. If you go directly to youtube, about 30-40% of the videos won't play. I've even had them not play on yahoo, google, and some news sites.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 15 2011, 04:23 PM

Since I have the experts attention, I have a question. Can I upload a video taken on my cannon digital camera to Youtube ? I have an account, but never tried uploading anything

Posted by: underthetire Mar 15 2011, 04:25 PM

Sure, and if you have windows, Movie Maker is fun to play with. Load it in there, you can edit and add soundtracks, titles, whatever, and it's free and already there ! I'm no expert at all.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 15 2011, 04:45 PM

Thanks for the heads up, I have Movie Maker. Looks like it's user friendly.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 17 2011, 08:13 AM

The ones that won't play on my Ipad have "&feature=player_embedded" at the end of the code we use. Works ok on 914World though.

Posted by: ellisor3 May 2 2011, 12:45 PM

So for us dummies
1.) Click Code
2.) Inside the brackets, change code to youtube
3.) paste the youtube name
4.) Click Code again
5.) Inside the brackets change code to /youtube
Done

Well since my behind the scene test became the example, I did try the shortlink first but that didn't work either. This long url I just used was supposed to be the embed link?

Andy, your example shows the pink code bar, is that what I should be looking for?
Us computer unlearned want to know.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Sep 6 2011, 08:55 PM

My guess is you didn't grab all of the code in the short link the first time.

-> C6b54bZepoA <-

Posted by: okieflyr Sep 6 2011, 09:16 PM

One last try tonight. (Nevermind it will have to be on a different machine).

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 7 2011, 01:02 AM

The "code" in pink is needed to show you what you need to type. I have to wrap it in a "code" block because otherwise what i type would show the actual video and not what you need to type.
Makes sense?


ONLY type the words in the white section of the "code" block. You start by typing the word youtube with the brackets around, then you type the youtube video identifier C6b54bZepoA the you type the word youtube with the brackets around but precede youtube with a forward slash.

Just like shown in the white portion of the "code" example below. It's really as easy as just typing this out:

It's a bit tricky. Nice work!

Posted by: Mark Henry Nov 11 2011, 08:09 AM

I do seem to have problems when the code ends with "=related" (or ends with = anything), I've tried doing it with and without the "=related" ending and still have problems.
What am I doing wrong in this case?


Example:
(youtube)XYZ(/youtube) no problem

(youtube)XYZ=related(/youtube) problem

Posted by: SirAndy Nov 11 2011, 12:59 PM

Embedding youtube videos here only works with the youtube ID tag. You can't add any additional parameters, like "related". That won't work. You need to strip off anything that is not part of the actual ID tag.

HTML parameters are always key=value pairs that are delimited by & ...

In your case "feature=endscreen&v=P7cm7YZT_B0&NR=1" is three key=value pairs:

feature=endscreen
v=P7cm7YZT_B0
NR=1

The video ID is the value for the 'v' key:

Your video ID = P7cm7YZT_B0


Put that into opening and closing youtube tags:



and voila!

How about you start by reading the instructions in the first post in this thread?


You didn't even try, you just copy&pasted a link to the video ...




All you need to do is type this in your post (without the CODE part, which is just a fancy title for a section that prints code without interpreting it):


Which will show up like this once posted:

FWIW, I’m using an iPad and I’m wondering if that is the problem?

Posted by: iankarr Mar 21 2022, 01:45 AM

Could be. The latest version of Safari won't let me call for a video here. I have to use Chrome. The syntax is simple when you're on a compatible browser. See @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 s post #92

Posted by: Van B Mar 21 2022, 07:16 AM

Definitely an ipad issue. I was even using chrome on the ipad. I'm logged in from work this morning and I can see all the videos.
I guess on the upside, at least I was linking correctly.

Thanks Ian!

Yeah, for whatever reason this no longer works on IOS devices. I’ve tried both Safari and Chrome on my iPhone running IOS 15.3.1 and neither will resolve the YouTube links. Used to work fine. Annoying.

Feature request:

I'm not sure who built the YouTube embed feature (to whom I should direct this) but:

Could the code be tweaked so that in addition to displaying the embedded video, it also displays the video URL above/below the video?

I'm limited to using Safari (for personal browsing) on my work computer and it's frustrating that embedded videos are just completely absent with no way to tell what it is.

Thanks!
