XF 1.1 Video code after import

[twollert]

After the import from vBulletin to XenForo a lot of postings contain video code like that:

[video=youtube;DV5ZyyCU0_g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV5ZyyCU0_g[/video]

How can I change that back to embedded clips?

Use Kier's addon:

Here is the code you need to use with this addon:

Quick Find: [video

Regular Expression: #\[video=youtube;([^\]]+)\]([^\[]+)\[/video\]#siU

Replacement String: [media=youtube]\1[/media]

Thanks, Jake! I tried that.

When the "Save Changes" box is unchecked everything looks fine. I get 914 results that match. But when I check the box and proceed I get the error: "Please enter a message with no more than 5 pieces of media."

In which case you need to increase the maximum number of media embeds in Options -> Messages.

This is old but saved me a bunch of time! I didn't see this when I was using XF1 now I am on XF2 and thought I was out of luck but thankfully @Chris D Made it availible for XF2 https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/xenforo-2.42/
Thanks @Jake Bunce for posting this fix!
