Can't Embed YouTube Video
« on: Thu, 23 October 2014, 06:26:54 »
I don't know why but I can't seem to do it on this forum. I've tried several methods and searched for some fixes on GH to no avail. Is it just me or does nobody see the videos I'm posting?

Examples:

Instead of http use https. In other words, use this code to embed videos:

Code: [Select]

Is there a reason why it's restricted to that? All my YouTube links turn up https by default. I feel like it'd be pretty annoying to have to edit out the "S" every time I want to post a video.

Agreed that it's silly... Dunno why that is. Something to do with the backend probably.

winner

it's a backend thing with how HTTPS works with similar embed codes, as well as how the [/youtube] tag works

Just randomly curious, does Simple Machines support Soundcloud embedding?

Not as far as I know. I know that it's not enabled if it exists, though.

Spotify support definitely exists, though. I've seen it on other SMH forums.
