[Included] Video embedding

[MilesDB]

I am requesting 2 video embed BB codes:

1. [tube][/tube]
for YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, Dailymotion, Google, Metacafe, RuTube

2. [video][/video]
for any size .flv video from any site with a direct URL like www.yoursite.com/cartoons/tom_and_jerry.flv

The second BBcode would allow us to play our own videos without necessity of uploading to third-party sites.

 

[MilesDB]

Well yes but not just embedded videos...

Lets say I have videos at EQnoblesite.com/video with a video /movie.mp4 and you have this mockup idea running at your XenForo.. you simply put the address for the video file Eqnoblesite.com/video/movie.mp4 and enter all information as usual and use a SWF based flowplayer container which is lightweight enough to wrap the video from my server in a nice looking player shell with player controls. Flowplayer requires 2 small files on your server to run but the video load will come from any server that has a video to share big name domain or small.

With this system you can have unlimited options for source files and choose how much load you can handle and pick the configuration that works best for you simply by removing permissions from certain media options in an admin panel type of thing. It would be a giant step to moving into the modern age of the WorldWW. Xenforo has already put one foot ahead of everyone else with their modern approach to things...this could help leave the old ways of doing things behind.

If everything you've said above and your mock-up become a stock feature, XenForo is really gonna be above its competitors. An excellent selling point.

As I said... this feature is already available in my Media Library mod... which I will be bringing to XenForo ASAP.

I used to use AME on my own forum, but I've discovered that it was more problematic than good. Suddenly threads were bogged down with flash instances that will take an older computer down a few pegs. Its one of the reasons why I now use my own Media Library modification.

I do plan on bringing this over to XenForo and you CAN host your own video files to it. You just upload a video to a specific directory and fill out all the relevant information. Here are some examples:

Flash Video: http://www.8wayrun.com/media/m1590-local-mp4
WMV Video: http://www.8wayrun.com/media/m1602-local-wmv

Nice ! Is it possible to have the mp4 encoded to sliverlight ? I think it is much much better then flash.

And what about a decent photogalley (I know not the thread for this )

Looking forward to seeing your Media Library XenForo mod. However, my point was to have it as a core much like image upload here. I must confess...I really liked EQnoble's mock-up. I just hope Kier and Mike are reading this thread.

You know once I bought some mods at vbulletinfreelancers.com and got burned. I'd rather prefer essential features to be a part of the core.

 

[Jaxel]

I dont think there is a chance in hell Kier and Mike will ever release a video uploading module with XF. Basically they need to work on projects that benefit the most users as possible, the need to process videos is a very limited scope that very few websites will ever use. Especially when alternatives like YouTube and Vimeo are so widely available.

This kind of feature you will only get from a third party modification such as mine. With my modification however, I do not permit users to upload videos. FTP access would be required to upload videos; which is something only administrators can do. However, if you used a system such as Downloads II, you can use that for the uploader, then catalog using my mod.

Does anyone know what I need to do to add Veoh to my Xenforo forum so that the videos are automatically embedded

are you asking this to be done or are you trying to learn how to make your own (bbcode media site...this is what essentially you are asking about.) Let me know which you are tyring to do and I can help you...however if you want to learn be prepared to learn and I would be happy to teach you to keep and at the same time keep the cycle full circle.

Either way thanks for reminding me I need to start that new support thread for media sites...

I'd love to learn EQ but as you already know I've just relaunched my site and I'm way behind on it so if you could just post the bbcode for Veoh that would be magic. Maybe when I have some time later I can try and learn a bit more.

Is there a comprehensive list of the codes anywhere? Right now I only need Veoh but in future you never know.

I hear yah...

Yeah I will do that tonight...I just gotta do a few things first so it might be late night when I post it..

If you want to install all of the bbcodes currently that I know of (not including adult sites) there is this addon which catalogs all of the community bbcode mediasite definitions@ http://xenforo.com/community/resources/xxms-bbcode-mediasites-package.27/

...and the list of sites is http://xenforo.com/community/resources/xxms-bbcode-mediasites-package.27/update?update=30

If you want to manually enter them...the attachment is the list of current sites and corresponding data fields for all sites that do not need a php file to function , or visit here , I will be making it easy for everyone to add single sites very soon though so I don't even know if this is worth any thing

 

[Lone Wolf]

Any progress with the Veoh code?

 

[EQnoble]

Yeah I will start doing that right now....I just woke up from a long night and am drinking my coffee...I will start working on it momentarily, sorry I honestly forgot...like I said, long night.

 

[Lone Wolf]

There's no rush eq, i wont need it for a few days. I was just wondering

If you need support with your installation, associate your forum account with your licence and post in the customer forums.

I am closing this thread as the suggestion has been implemented and this thread isn't a custom BB Code support thread.
