it replaces the last link with the fb video

[edit] if no url in post, it works just fine, but add a url and it goes stupid  :P

Hi there, thank you very much for the mod. The users of my forum really appreciate it. They are asking me why they can't embed soundcloud songs. I have verified I have the latest version of the mod installed and I have soundcloud checked in the options. I've tried dropping in a link to a soundcloud track myself and it just shows the URL. A variety of other embeds I tried worked. I don't have any other mods installed and I'm on 2.0.18.
They are also asking me if I've heard if there are plans for supporting bandcamp embeds, but I've already told them you don't support that.

I need to see examples links. Soundcloud only certain types are supported.

Thanks for your response and time. We are just utilizing the standard soundcloud URL format for individual songs, here are a few examples from a playlist on the soundcloud front page I'm not endorsing the music, they don't embed on my forum and I'm not able to locate alternate URL formatting that might work instead:
https://soundcloud.com/thepalewhite/that-dress-3 [nofollow]
https://soundcloud.com/weezer/its-always-sunny-in-bikini [nofollow]
https://soundcloud.com/tigers-jaw/cant-wait-forever [nofollow]

Those types of links are not supported for soundcloud only  https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=

As they do not have enough information in the url to auto generate the embed code.

Okay thanks for the additional information. Just for documentation purposes if others have the same question, in order to embed Soundcloud with the mod, your steps are to go to the track you want to share, use the embed share option, there is code that you need to derive the url from, it will look like this when displayed within the embed code:
https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/944619253&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true
You need to modify the characters after the second instance of https from %3A to : and then chop off all the extras after the track number so that it looks like this:
https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/944619253
Obviously not an easy thing to explain to basic users of a forum, but at least I can let them know it is an option. Thanks again for your guidance.

still testing my issue

setting up another forum (about half way done) but I left out the descriptive link mod and so far this mod is working correctly, I can post a link and a video in the same post....
so I think that is where the issue lays...going to install the rest of the mods and see how it goes but so far I think it is that those two mods don't play nicely together (which kind of sucks)

vbgamer45

Yeah it probably changes the link url format.

I've noticed that Zippyshare and senvid links don't work with this even though they are in the list.

Ok thanks it's just that they are in the options in the mod but i can't get any link for zippyshare or sendvid to work. There is a lot so i'm not sure what others don't work.

This is a long thread, I didn't read it all, so maybe this was already addressed, but people on my forum only want to embed something from time to time. Mostly they like to just post links and have them not embedded. But this mod just embeds every audio/video link it finds in a post. So is there a way to tell the mod to not embed a link? Or is it an 'all or nothing' situation?

vbgamer45

It's pretty much all or nothing. You can put a link around a nobbc tag that is a work around.
