    Embedded video you say!?!?!?

    it works!
    [youtube:ngutqfez]Ewx1YnJrMsA[/youtube:ngutqfez]

    The only secret to using the youtube tag is that you should use only the video ID. That's the part after the = in the URL This video is: Ewx1YnJrMsA

    So you just put that in, select it, and hit the youtube button to tag it.

    Upgrade to SMF2 :-D

    That's what I just posted. Your video id is probably the "rqY-kSlBpbw" string. Please label future videos like this NSFW.

    There has to be an easier way.

    I agree. It is easy, never though of it since others just take the embedded code that is listed.

    Not and still be able to take videos from youtube URL's besides the USA version which is http://www.youtube.com

    It's really simple to do, I don't get how it's not "easy" already…???

    Every other forum I am on you just need to copy the url and post it. But I can deal with it.

    you can fire some jquery that detects youtube video URLs and automatically parses them into the [youtube] output.

    [pre]BBCode: [youtube=
    ][/youtube]

    [pre] HTML: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="
    ][/youtube][/pre]

    Unfortunately this limits it to only US youtube.
