yes terr0r, just like I stated, it's a lot easier to use the full URL then just the ID!

Terr0r, that link you are using is a link you get from withing an embeded youtube video, just take out all the other stuff,
and end up with this!

Code: Select all

if it's too hard for you create a bbcode using the link you posted, and make it work that way for you, or use the old youtube bbcode i had here and use just the ID!

This is too much work for main stream users, they just copy the entire url no matter whats in it and it should work. Cant we make the bbcode html so that it just picks out the importaint parts and forget the rest....

not that i can think of!
they should know better! all they have to do is copy the video URL of the video they are watching in YOUTUBE not the URL they pick up from an already embedded YouTube video then you will get the URL as posted above, other then that you will have to change this from a bbcode to a small mod so that it strips out all the unnecessary stuff as you say!

I see your point, But some users dont wanna spend the time on cleaning the url. Maybe i should look into a small mod. No idea were to start and i hate to make it more than a bbcode. lets see
