YouTube Embeds

[Hambeast]

I've added a feature so YouTube videos now automatically display in the forum when they're linked. It's set to only run on a computer. I figure it'd be annoying on mobile.

If there's any issues or you hate it, let me know and it can be disabled.

I think it is a brilliant idea but I'm on a laptop. I checked out 4 things i've never heard already because of it

Great idea. Possible to do the same with soundcloud / bandcamp?

[Hambeast]

Soundcloud works but it's more difficut

You need to grab the Embed code from the "Share" link and copy part of it, then change "%3A" to a colon

<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/88186893&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe>

Results in:

Code: [Select]

https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/88186893
Which gives this when posted:
https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/88186893

Not very simple. Plus it probably makes things difficult for people on mobile.

I'll see if I can get in touch with the plugin developer to fix it and get BandCamp working too

Nice one, appreciate the hard slough.

Top work, thanks. I'd second the Bandcamp idea, that would be very cool.
