How to safely allow embedded YouTube videos?

[globalinsites]

Damn, I know this is my first day and all, but I must be a dumbass or missing something, b/c the BB Code doesn't work I set it in the BB Code Manager.

What could I be doing wrong?

I don't know. I wish I could help you. I did the exact same thing (the part that you quoted), and it works fine for me. What exactly is it that isn't working? I'm not sure what you mean with b/c

Would anybody happen to know how to stop just this [youtube] BBcode from being used in a users signature?

[Rastus]

how can this be restricted to certain user groups?

[Steve Machol]

This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

Ah right so. Thought there might be a setting I wasn't ticking.

Thanks anyway!

Just tried to use this youtube-bbcode and came accross the issue that apparantly the poster of a movie on YouTube can force people not to embed their movies on their forum/site...

I ended up installing the Automatic Media Embedding [ http//www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=150863 ] instead.

I don't see any risks since the movie location is prefixed with a hard coded part. That means you can only load YouTube movies as opposed to other embedded content.

But if the person wants to attack a site with flash content could he just upload it to YouTube then goto the site he wants to attack and copy + paste is movie to the site he wants to attack.

EG

Bad movie he uploaded to YouTube : http://youtube.com/watch?v=kYvZnTFpip0

The above link is not a real bad movie its a clip from the movie "Downfall" called Hitler Gets Banned (His Ultimate Downfall).

[ringleader]

The link is fine, it just got an extra http:// at the start.

This is it here properly now.
