These days if you hit the "Share" button on YouTube you get a nice short link like this:
(which is the short link for
)
But that short link doesn't actually work with the STW "video" button:
See? Any chance you could fix it so it does?
[hackneyed joke]
It's coming in the new forum.
[/hackneyed joke]
that's cus it's a short link and not an embed URL
What trickydisco said - browser has to redirect from the short link.
(Quality video though Graham 🙂 )
Yeah but the short link maps directly to the long link - no redirection required - so it wouldn't be very hard for them to add a bit in the code that handles the video button so that it simply replaces [b][i]"youtu.be/"[/i][/b] with [b][i]"www.youtube.com/watch?v="[/i][/b]
How that CXer springboards so high i'll never know, some serious air time there, cowabunga dude!

Yeah, true. Like a TinyURL link to a picture can be embedded... Yeah, get to it developers!
Shhh.. be quiet Ginger.

No speakers/headphones?
Third clip in the video (the CXers falling in the sand) you can hear:
Concerned Kid: [i]"But dad, they're gonna get hurt."[/i]
Scolding Voice: [i]"Shhh.. be quiet Ginger"[/i]
😆
(it is unclear if the scolding voice is actually "Dad", or just someone that doesn't like whiny soulless carrottops).
Ah! I didn't have the sound on.. have to watch again now.. 🙂
I invite you to do it yourself, as it is Wednesday afternoon 😉simply replaces "youtu.be/" with "www.youtube.com/watch?v="
[code]http:\/\/([a-zA-Z0-9]+\.|)youtube\.com\/.*v=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+).*
with...
src= http://www.youtube.com/v/\\2

[/code]
I don't work unless someone is paying me Tom.
And even then it's rare. 😉
But looking at what you posted I suspect you just want a new rule that says:
[code]http:\/\/youtu.be\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+).*
with...
src= http://www.youtube.com/v/\\2
href=
No?
I'll probably combine it into one and go for the \3. Just one domain was it?
Yeah seems to always just be http://youtu.be , no sub-domains.
OK, youtu.be works. You can now also say [ youtube]9udxbvHiqGw[/youtube]

Woo hoo - good work Tom!
Buy yourself a beer on me.
Really, he's done it? Now to try it on the Tune Association Thread...
