Posting Youtube videos

Lately, I've noticed a lot of people having trouble posting up videos from youtube. I'll leave this thread up here as reference, since the off-topic forum tends to have a lot more videos in it.


1. When you find a video you want to post, find the URL that is found right next to the video:

<div align="center"></div>

2. Within the URL is a code that you need to find. The series of numbers/letters after "v=" is what you're looking for:

<div align="center"></div>

3. Insert that code within the youtube tags:

<div align="center"></div>


And voila....

<div align="center">Invalid Video Link</div>

 

Thanks Chutney, I had no idea how to do this. Propz.

 

Just had to try it out...

Invalid Video Link

Thanks Chutney.

EDIT: Nevermind.



-----------------------------
Check the tutorial again. You just have to put in the series of letters/numbers/dashes after "v=."

<div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-96xRo47aQ&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-96xRo47aQ&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

Thanks Chutney.

EDIT: Nevermind. </div>You only have to put the portion of the URL that's after the equals sign in the [youtube] tags, not the entire thing.

Damn, two hours?? What connection do you have? Usually even the biggest uploads only take 4 or 5 minutes.

 

thanks Chutney was confused on how to do it

 

How do you post youtube videos on S2?

 

Invalid Video Link

 

It's not working for me, can I have an example?</p>

 

What i don't understand is that the usual limit is 10 minutes or there abouts but i see videos on there over an Hour long sometimes. Hows that?

 

Embedding doesn't work for me initially, but if I hit edit and save after I originally post it works fine.

 

I prefer to just post the link. It's much eaiser.

 

Chutney, you've got to update this thread, bro.
