When adding a video the first choice of video is Daily motion.

Wouldnt it be better if Youtube would be first choice? I assume thats the most common one in the forum.
 
I haven't heard of daily motion either, sounds like a bathroom activity :p

i tried and failed ...
 
Leave the coding up to Mike, Pete. :p
 
Not sure if this is on everyone's, but the "http://" is no longer grayed out. It has to be deleted before/after pasting. It used to be grayed out and you could just click-paste-insert.
 
Same for me Korishan.

Mike can you sort that back again? :)
 
I put it back the way it was. Please clear your cache again. Let's just leave it as-is for now since this is a core file and I'd rather not have to remember it was modified during the next upgrade.

It's better to use the youtube bbcode-tag anyway since it uses a wider player.
[youtube.]VIDEOID[/MEDIA] <remove the period
 
What happened? This no longer the default with grayed out http://

And yes, my cache has been cleaned, several times. as well as cookies.
 
Hmm, every time I use the youtube tag, I get an error :-/

btw, sry I missed the previous post stating it was reverted.
 
What is the error? Maybe I can help.

For example, if the Youtube URL is this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md4l9bFDOtc&t=1s

The bold part is the video id, so your youtube tag becomes this (remove the two spaces...)
[ youtube]Md4l9bFDOtc[/youtube ]

And it should look like this when you post. Don't forget to remove the two spaces above, I put them in so I can demonstrate the code without the forum actually converting it.

 
Ohhh, that's right. I forgot about the [bold]ID[/bold] part. :p I just like to copy paste the URL from youtube over here. But I see what you mean the video window is bigger. I actually don't play videos through the site. I always click on the Arrow in the upper right, then click the link and it opens in a new tab. That was I get all my youtube plugins running. (like the scroll for volume control; and the dark theme which makes viewing videos soooo much easier on the eyes ;) )

Btw, I was doing
Code:
[MEDIA=youtube]https://youtu.be/Md4l9bFDOtc[/MEDIA]

And if you use the [ code ] tags, you won't have to add spaces to show what ya mean ;)
Thanks
 
Hrmm,
Code:
 so, when putting code in, you put [code] then do blah blah blah with some script or what not, [MEDIA=youtube][/MEDIA] and keep going. then you close it with
and your done [/code]

Did it work? .....

addendum:
hahaha, nope! that's odd. It took the first closing code to finish the code block. The second closing code is left outside w/o a buddy :p
