Previously Youtube links were parsed (using passivevid plugin) automatically, and the video would appear as a playable embed, there does not seem to be any way to get this to work now. I understand a new post can be made show a thumbnail of a video using the POST A LINK button, but this is no use for the legacy posts. I also feel that the POST A LINK method is adding process steps and complication to something that should be a simple 'copy & paste' action when making a post, reducing the user experience and adding steps to content creation. Using EMBED code is not an option, as i don't want HTML enabled.
Also, allowing attachments like .mp3 to be playable in a post does not seem possible anymore - again, previously there were plugins to allow this.
Also(2), attached .jpg (etc.) files do not appear as thumbnails anymore, and there is no lightbox feature as per 4.22. The instruction to use the maintainence function 'rebuild attchment thumbnails' in the admin CP's attachments section cannot be used, as that option does not exist.
Any hints as to how i can restore some of this functionality, and allow it going forward with vb5?
