[Add More Video Sites] BB Code Media

[Gene Steinberg]

How about this one?

I use this for Google:

Match URLs

video.google.com/videoplay?docid={$id}

Embed HTML

<embed id=VideoPlayback src=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid={$id}&hl=en&fs=true style=width:640px;height:387px allowFullScreen=true allowScriptAccess=always type=application/x-shockwave-flash />

 

[Gene Steinberg]

So how would I add this to as a BB Code Media site in 1.1b5? I tried putting that in, but got a URL error. So?

 

[Paul B]

It works fine for me using this:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4396717473506401960#docid=-3784289676855035647

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Maybe it does, but I want to enter Google in the as a BB Code Media Site in the admin panel, and it's not working. Can you give me all proper settings for each entry field please?

 

[Paul B]

I already posted the relevant content above.
The other fields you can enter what you like.

How's about this one?

I'm combing through our newly-converted forum trying to fix up the lingering video clips.

Or do I just create a separate one for video.google.ca?

And sorry to drive you folks crazy. I just want to clean up the lose ends in a forum with nearly 120,000 messages, some laden with video content.

That is embed code for this video:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2473651784928254794&hl=en

Posting this URL works fine using Brogan's code he posted above.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Thanks, Jack. So I would need to have the google.ca and flickr.com stuff to close this out, for now.

I suppose if I know the trick for overseas Google, I'm OK.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

And thank you.

If there's a magic formula to search and replace all these variations we'd save some manual labor, but I can't expect that sort of miracle.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

YouTube shortlinks?

Or do I just create a separate one for video.google.ca?

You can just add that domain to the existing Google BB code that Brogan created. Specify two match URLs, like this:

video.google.com/videoplay?docid={$id}
video.google.ca/videoplay?docid={$id}

Same thing here. Just add another line to match URLs for your Google code:

video.google.com/videoplay?docid={$id}
video.google.ca/videoplay?docid={$id}
video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid={$id}

And the YouTube short links just work.

Are you talking about imported posts? This addon can be used to perform regex replacements on posts:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/post-content-find-replace.6548/

That will allow you to replace old video links with the media tags used in XenForo. But it does require some regex ability.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Yeah, I have that, and I'm going to require hand holding to make it work for most of the basic video format conversions. I tried a couple of the ones on the first page of the plugin description, but I'm probably going to need more assistance.
