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 Expand

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

[The Butcher]

Nice one, appreciate the hard slough.

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