Fixed Broken media tag causes redirect to YouTube

[DarkUnderlord]

Sticking this in our forum:

[media=youtube] [/media[/media]

... causes the page with that message in it to be re-directed to YouTube. It even happens so fast it's sometimes hard to catch-it in order to edit / deal with the message.

Nothing really happens

Confirmed if the Auto-embed media, and add a link to the content within this BB code option is selected.

This happens when you use the iframe version of the embed. I think this is actually a YT bug. Not sure what we can do about it yet...

I've reported it to them: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=2784

We'll see if anything happens.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Yeah, we're using the iframe. Does anyone have some alternative embedding code we can use in the interim?

Try this:

<object width="640" height="385" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="385" />
</object>

I've done a hacky workaround for this by stripping out / from YouTube links specifically (as other sites may need it). Hopefully they'll fix it though so I can remove it.
