Fixing Youtube Players

[Heftydogg]

I've noticed ever since we switched the skins over, linking youtube videos is kind of glitchy now. It makes the player fine, but then it has some other broken code after it and a second player that pops up.

Ex:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6YXKl2resI

Comes out as:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6YXKl2resI"]YouTube - Soloing Dwarfageddon Achievement[/ame]




Any way to fix this? Just looks sloppy

If you have a code that will fix it then post it and it will most likely be added.

Well, YT tags USED to work. Who cares, just a little messy.

Just update AME

(The Automatic Media Embeding System)

I'll find a link to it in a sec.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=202476

And if it's already updated it needs to be configured right...

Disable New Items: No
Extract Destination data: Yes
Title Length: w/e you guys feel is good

Enable File Cache: Yes
Path to file cache: /home/whatevermmownedisin/public_html/forums/amecache/

The name of the default ame template to wrap embed code in. The default value is container. Read more about this setting by clicking the help icon to the right.: Container

Posts: Yes

Thanks for finding that JD, hopefully that's whats causing the problem

Thanks man+rep

[JD]

I hope so aswell mate

[Dragonshadow]

Yeah I've already stated AME needs to be updated but the people who need to update it never hear me *poke poke prod prod*

[JD]

Great minds think alike

Use the CODE tags and link the video in the tag. It won't get linked and won't be possible to just be clicked.

That's how pros do it anyway :>

IN THE MEAN TIME...

It works if you take the actual embed code and put it inside [yt] tags

[yt]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U6YXKl2resI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U6YXKl2resI&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/yt]
