I'm testing with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfMgRHRJ-tc

I'm using the embed code here. _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless... UGN Security, Elite Web Gamers & VNC Web Design Owner

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5119 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	The code doesn't touch your apache config, it's a flash embed code, has nothing to do with your web server really... It should just load; assuming you inserted the bbcode in the proper place... Can you link me to an example of your embedding? _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5119 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	It could be that you don't have the flash player installed; or a current version of it... I know I had to jump through all sorts of hurtles on my linux machine to get it to play any java applets... I'm not sure if it'd be: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ But it looks promising... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

I uninstalled all my extensions to see if perhaps there was something in there that was causing it. The one thing I SHOULD have done - and didn't was clear my cache. Oh well

First Post Download txt needs to be updated, as you read through this thread there are amendments. As in [7.1] changes. Love it, wasn't too bad to implement. Another great Hack from the Gizmo camp.

Youtube also has underscores in the ID's. So you should add it to the regex.

Code:

array( "#\[youtube\]([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)\[/youtube\]#i", '<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/\1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/\1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>' ),			array( "#\[u\](.+?)\[/u\]#i", "<u>\\1</u>" ),

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5119 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Mark, the problem with updating the inital post is that this isn't my set of addons, i just hijacked the thread ... blaas, I figured they may... I'll update mine and hell, I'll start my own thread ... Mark, I'm not sure on taht issue, the video id for that video looks completely differant than what I crafted the regex to accept... I'll look into it later... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless... UGN Security, Elite Web Gamers & VNC Web Design Owner

Frost Lurker Registered: 04/11/07 Posts: 1	Nevermind I fixed that issue. I am still having an issue playing the Video with Firefox even though I updated my flashplayer, it still will not let me click the play option. Edited by Frost (04/17/07 03:27 PM) Edit Reason: Fixed original problem

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5119 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	I really need to check the post before responding to see if it's been edited vs relying on email notices... lol... Not sure why firefox would give you these issues though, I'm using FFoX2 and haven't noticed any such problems... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...
