Been experimenting putting a 'GoPro' video Camera inside the machine enclosure - really just mucking  about trying to make sure it's in a relatively safe place and still get a reasonable shot:

Andrew,

Simples: Press the YouTube Button and paste the video url between the inner pair of square brackets. (Right click on video and click on "Copy Video URL".)

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

I'm amazed that you couldn't suss that one out considering all the far more complex problems you've shown you can solve.  :thumbup: :thumbup:

Well it's still not working for me :(

"Press the YouTube button" - which button where ?

"Inner pair of square brackets" - which square brackets where?

From the source video on my youtube page I can by right clicking :

'Copy Video URL' which gives me:

[ Invalid YouTube link ]

or

'Copy embed code' which gives me:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


No Youtube buttons or square brackets in sight !!!!

This is how you initially had it

--- End code ---

This is what you need to make it work


--- Code: ---[youtube]cW5xb9LVlE8[/youtube]
--- End code ---


There are other methods but this one allways seems to work for me. it is those 11 characters between the square brackets that you have to find. Hope this helps. :D

Cheers  :beer:

OK I've found the 'Youtube' button hiding amongst the test attributes - thanks Don and Philf.

Andrew,

Sorry - I should have told you where the YouTube button was. I went out just after I posted so have only just seen your reply. I didn't know you could just paste the video code between the square brackets so I've learned something myself.

I'm just about to venture into the world of a CNC lathe. Mine shouldn't present much of a problem as there's no auto tool change, only a 1/2hp spindle motor and a 3-jaw manually operated chuck to worry about. (And it will fit in the boot of my car!)

Cheers.

Phil.
