How To: Embed Your Videos (YouTube and Google Video)

[harrisk954]

Nice addition to the boards. Good work adding this feature.

[proof]

Metacafe comming tomorrow. From what i have briefly looked at in the last 5 minutes, this one should be far simplier.

[Tobian]

I tried to 'embed' a youtube video but it did not work. I feel like such a noob.

Also, maybe we should move/sticky this in the 'entertainment' subsection so it won't get lost easily.

[proof]

Sorry to bump an old thread, i was looking through the threads that i have marked, and i saw that you needed help Tobian. have you figured it out? Or do you need some new info?

[softtack]

It's from about a month and a half ago so I pretty sure he's got the hang of it by now. (I hope)

[Cyrann]

Stickied now, so people can figure this out!

you need to put it like this [embed ]link[/embed ] (remove spaces)

edit: i tried it and here it is pow (you need to remove the hyperlink from the link, either copy it into notepad and back or click go advanced highlight the link and click the remove link button)

Help! Why is it that I can´t embed gametrailers.com videos anymore?

Let´s take this video for example: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27173.html

This is what I do:

First of all I copy the embed link given on the site itself. It should look like this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="392"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=27173"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=27173" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="392"></embed> </object>

I then delete everything up to this point:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...ersion=8,0,0,0

Finally I put the embed tags around it: [embed ] ; [/embed ] (without the spaces)

But if I want to test it out it simply shows no image whatsoever! What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Never mind, I just got it to work! It turned out that I deleted the wrong part of the link which is why I didn´t see anything... Glad I got that solved!

So that's why I could never embed videos properly, I always copied the URL and put it inside the tags. Silly me.
