Simple Audio Video Embedder

[vbgamer45]

if you are on php 5.3 you might as well go to php 5.6 5.3 is no longer supported all.

[RFD]

can't go beyond 5.3 on this apache 1 server. 

anyhoo, the oharaYTEmbed mod works fine for youtube and vimeo, so i'm good to go.

don't think i wanna mess with the SAVE mod again.

thanx, appreciate yer help.

Hi, how can make visible the YouTube videos for the guests?

i would like to use the simple audio video embedder, but it's hosed and won't work.

so instead i found that this youtube/vimeo embedder works just fine ....

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3268

... it will require php 5.3 or higher.

rfd please keep that in other posts please for advertising
The mod does work fine I have used it all my sites...

If you have trouble installing upload the package to http://www.smfhacks.com/smf-package-parser.html and follow the manually install steps.

a mod package that is designated to be installed with smf 2.012 and fails to load on virgin smf 2.0.12 install, on a constant basis is, well, flawed. 

if you are the creator, you need to fix it.  i wish you would, because i'd use it in a heartbeat. 

'til then, i need video posting capability NOW, and the ohara vid embed installed and worked instantly.

It is not flawed it is your configuration of your server. Have had over 30k downloads. please I do not want to fight here move on.

As vbgamer says, the mod is fine. I use it on a clean install and on one with 70+ mods and it works as it should.

SAVE does have its issues, though.  These two are kinda big & still open:
   -  lists of links get corrupted, since the preg_replace is "greedy" and matches the start of one link with the end of a subsequent link
   -  some types don't support https

The first issue actually mangles posts pretty bad.  I proposed solutions above, reply#2578.  It doesn't impact all types of links, only the ones that have an unlimited wildcard in them, e.g. ".*", where there are no 'ungreedy' modifiers in effect. 

To verify, post a list of links, & have .mp4s in various places in your list...

Hi everyone!

First at all, thank you for this mod, because rises the value of some topics/comments.

I read about the following problem on this topic and the rest of the web without found a solution, so Im here with more information about it.

The problem that we are facing on our forum is with the shorten URL of youtube (youtu.be)

We change of Server and start with a clean forum and mod instalation, just moving the DataBase.
This issue, was not a problem on our previous ambient, and one of the main changes is that our site now is https, and the previous http.


If the user makes a topic or comment with a hxxp:youtube.com [nonactive] link, is show as follow

If the user makes a topic or comment with a hxxp:youtu.be [nonactive] link, is show as follow

Looking closely the iFrames sectios, I found that the hxxp:youtube.com [nonactive] url is taked like

Code Select Expand

//www.youtube.com
But the hxxp:youtu.be [nonactive] url is taked like

Code Select Expand

http://www.youtube.com

(click to zoom in/out)


So I'm thinking that the problem is with the HTTP/HTTPS, but I don't know how to fix it.

Thank you in advance for your time and help on this. 

[vbgamer45]

Are you using latest version. I don't see http:// in the emded for the short version

[Logan.uy]

Thank you for the quick response.
We have the latest version (3.6.5), but looking the pakages info, the mod shows a red icon (old version), I update it and the version number didn'n change, but the issue was fixed.

Thank you for your help!

[vbgamer45]

Glad that helped.

For the record, my earlier suggestion to use an 'ungreedy' modifier, U, failed miserably.  I tried it, and it really does turn EVERYTHING to return the 'shortest possible' match.  This truncated lots of strings in the process (like filenames  ), and basically broke a bunch of the embeds. 

I tried to edit my earlier post, but I guess we're not allowed to edit old erroneous posts.

There is a time limit on editing a post due to some morons abusing the ability when there was no time limit.

Thanks shawnb61 that was a really good find and makes it all work a lot better now.
