Okay. I think we "might" have the new video plugin working without crashing the TRC... I hope... :D

Anyways, I'd love to hear everyone's feedback on the new plugin, both good & bad. Also, let me know if you find any bugs at all.

Try it out in this thread, if you haven't already. Just post the URL to a video, and it should automatically embed the video.

Of course, my favorite video still to this day:

YouTube - Keepon dancing to Spoon's "Don't You Evah"

I'm still working on embedding pix, so hold on...

OMG.

I laughed so hard I cried. I've never seen this one, and I never saw it coming. . .

BTW, the only video sites that the plugin is setup to support right now are:

You Tube
MySpace
Google Video
Yahoo
Amazon

But, there are a TON of addons to support other videos. So if there is a video site that you use that isn't listed, let me know and I'll see about getting it added:)

I can't get the videos to play here on TRC - but they play fine on YouTube directly.

huh? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying... The videos are playing just fine in this thread...

I get the still frame, I click play, I get the little white spinniething, and no video plays for me. When I paste it directly into youtube, it plays fine - ?

Did you solve the embedding of streaming video yet? I haven't been paying attention to the forum video updates.... *look*

Like, if we have a streaming server (which eventually I might...) can we post links to the video's streaming URL and have it embedded?

If I understand the question, this was a couple posts ago:

yes, those are the only sites that are currently supported, but I'm looking into if it's possible for members to link to videos they are hosting.

Sienna - We're using a completely different plugin. There were just too many problems with the old one and it was hardly being supported anymore. This new plugin has a ton of support and there are many who are developing addons for it.

Got an answer:) Yes, you can embed videos that you are hosting. Before you do, I have to add your domain in the backend.

Can everyone view the videos now, or are they still getting the loading icon?
