How To Display YouTube Videos

Post by Boni »

I've seen a few members of TheresNoSolution have difficult time with the YouTube tags and this is just a quick explanation on how it works.

The Wrong Way

Now I've saw a few members get it wrong and it cause the Youtube window to appear with a white screen with some sort of image. The reason for this they posted the whole YouTube url like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Fla6Amr9I
Likes This

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Fla6Amr9I[/youtube]
And something similar to this will appear
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Fla6Amr9I[/youtube]
As you can see, this doesn't not work

How it Should Be

This is actually wrong, all the YouTube tag is interested is the last bit of the code after the "?v=" and before the "&something". I'll you show examples, the red bits are the part of the url we want

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Fla6Amr9I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Fla6Amr9I&feature=channel

So with the Video ID this is what we place in the YouTube tags like this

Code: Select all

[youtube]77Fla6Amr9I[/youtube]
And then you'll have now correctly displayed the YouTube video correctly like this

Quickie on MTV
NOTE: This is designed for MTVmusic.com

Get the video URL (For this example we use Sum 41's Fat Lip)
http://www.mtvmusic.com/sum_41/videos/66432/fat_lip.jhtml

Now what we want is the ID number which I'll mark red
http://www.mtvmusic.com/sum_41/videos/66432/fat_lip.jhtml

The code should then look like this:

Code: Select all

[mtv]66432[/mtv]
This will then created this

That's true but there has not been one on the YouTube forum and I though I would make it announcement type for this forum so people can see it better
