Implemented Auto embed video

[Dream]

Would be great of instead clicking the video embedding button to add an url, the url was automatically detected and converted.

No worries

I'll merge all 3 anyway and then there are less threads to move to implemented then

The biggest issue I can see with this is the overhead of checking all links for media site matches... but maybe something can be done. I'll take a look.

Yeah, that was my first inital thought as well, as you'd have to run through all of the links to see if any matched.

That said, you could always put a checkbox at the bottom of the edit box (say, left aligned on the row of the buttons) saying 'Don't autoembed media' - or something less clunky, you get the idea!

Or have a button on the toolbar that you press and it scans through the post and converts the links to embedded media. That would make both camps happy - if you wanted it to auto embeding then just click the button before you post.

or #2 - it scans the post when you make it, if it detects any embedable links it asks you if you want to convert the links to embed the media (with a 'remember this' checkbox so if you always want to you can tell it, so you don't get continually prompted).

just another included feature

I'm really excited to see how many threads from the suggestion forums will be moved to the "implemented" section, once xf 1.1 is released
