YouTube Button, Again.......

<< < (2/3) > >>

Brass_Machine:
The solution...

Your link was incorrect.

--- Code: ---http://youtu.be/_hp8PcMhp68
--- End code ---

Note the "." between the U and the B. That broke the code for the button. It however, doesn't break the link, apparently youtu.be is registered??

There are 2 ways to get it work. This is the actual link to your video:


--- Code: ---http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hp8PcMhp68
--- End code ---

You can copy everything after the "watch?v=" and use the button:


--- Code: ---[youtube]_hp8PcMhp68[/youtube]
--- End code ---

Or just insert the whole link:

--- Code: ---[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hp8PcMhp68[/youtube]
--- End code ---

The button is fussy, so you have to watch what you paste. There are some youtube links that you have to go to youtube and get the direct link to make it work. They usually have words like "embed" in them.

Thanks Eric!  :thumbup:

So...... The Youtube button needs youtube, not youtu.be, that youtube are putting into the link which they supply........  :scratch:

The older I become, the more complicated life becomes! Sigh........  :bang:

Brass_Machine:
Yup!

You can just use the last part of that link: _hp8PcMhp68 in the youtube button

A PITA I know....

In fairness, that's not YouTube's fault, it's the SMF (Simple Machines Forum) YouTube button patch/addon that's not working properly. It may have been patched by now to cope with youtu.be links, if not, I might be able to do some jiggery pokery to it to make it behave - Eric, I'll drop you a line if I get a chance to do that.
