BBcode for embedding YouTube videso

[DrRalph]

For several years I have used a BBcode I got off this Forum to allow my users to embed their videos in their posts. Basically they copy a section of the YouTube URL into their post, and put a tag around it. Example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyMjyGAj8Ao, they would use the sequence after =, paste that into their post, put a BBcode tag around it, which would embed the video. Three days ago it stopped working. I have hundreds of videos on my message board, and they have all been blacked out. Any idea what happened or how to correct it?

What code you are using in Replacement?

Edit the template bbcode_template and replace the youtube sections with:

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />
<iframe width="640" height="385" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube_share'" />
<iframe width="640" height="385" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That should fix it.

I'm having exactly this issue over on my site (www.pinkfishmedia.net) and it seems to have happened in the past three days. The only change I have made to the site recently is upgrading from 3.8.9 to 3.8.9PL1, but that was a week or so ago now. Any help as to a fix would be greatly appreciated.

What version of vBulletin 3 aree you using? Also, motd2 asked you what code you were using but you haven't yet provided this?

If you're using a modification then you'll need to post in that thread for assistance with that mod.

Just to add info to my help request in post 7 I'm using the BB Code for YouTube given by vBulletin Support on this site, the thread is here.

That post is 10 years old.

Youtube appear to have discontinued support for that method.

Hello Paul

I know the mod is very old and unfortunately there is no longer supported, but many of us have the same problem. Would it be possible for you to take a quick look at the code and check if there is something simple we can do? I'll really appreciate that.

Your code:

<object width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}">
                <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" />
                <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                <em><strong>ERROR:</strong> If you can see this, then <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a> is down or you don't have Flash installed.</em>
            </object>
