Been doing some work on it and had figured that much out. I'm doing exams this week but I should begin proper work on [vimeo][/vimeo] tags next week.

That is excellent news! I can relaunch ukfilmforum with some features the competition don't have, and which are sorely needed.

I notice the embed code on Rendezvous has fullscreen=1 but the forum embed doesn't do it. Is that a BBCode limitation? Or have you inadvertently stripped that bit off? Full screen capability is a good thing.


Good luck with the exams! What are you studying?

"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'

Can you post the link here? Its nothing to worry about.

I'm doing an MSc in Information Technology at the moment. I already have a BSc in Computing and a BA in Law. I started studying in 2003 and haven't been able to stop since.

    I've been doing some code tweaking here

    - To watch full screen click here: here

    or even

    - To watch full screen click here:

    (but with a better image)

    I included &autoplay=1&showsearch=0 in the full screen window, as well as &ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to make it the HQ version.

    You know, it seems to me you don't need the search drop-down enabled in your forums (who uses them?) nor do you need "Hosted by YouTube" underneath. No-one else includes it, and it clutters the page, and if YT objected to them being switched off they would have locked those features and not included the code. Might I suggest you replace "Hosted..." with my "To watch full screen click here"? That would be neat.

    But there are problems...

    - If there is no HQ version at YT (involving a 640x360 upload) YT reports the generic error code "this video is unavailable"

    - A lot of folk these days want to show off their HD videos! The code for this is &ap=%2526fmt%3D22.

    It's up to you whether you want to enable HQ and HD in the windows here, and whether you think an automatically generated link to a full screen version is a nice idea, but (without your server actively checking with YouTube for what links will work) I don't see how one button can accomodate the needs of poor quality (or old) videos, HQ, and also HD. Until YT introduces a "load the best quality video available" code (which is what's needed) I think you need 3 buttons...

    But once you accept that fact it's quite simple. Here's my vision...

    1 - YT button: as currently is, but with "Hosted by YouTube" changed to "To watch full screen click here" with automated link (with &autoplay=1&showsearch=0)

    2 - YT HQ button, as 1 above with HQ coding added

    3 - YT HD button, as 1 above but with HD coding added

    All above with showsearch=0 in the forum window, and with windows at 640x400 (but you could leave choice 1 at the size it currently is)


    My 2p. I hope I'm being helpful rather than interfering.

hmmmm.....

showsearch=0 is no biggie. autoplay should also be 0 in case there are more than one video on the page?

The rest I'll have to look into.

Cheers!

I meant &autoplay=1 only in the full size window, if you go for that.

I was testing a new mod on the demo forum earlier. Those topics are gone now. You may have noticed that if you try to post 20 links or more in a post you get a warning.

No, that's not something I've tried.

But I've seen spam like that.

Hmm.. I may have used a dozen in an article giving advice with links. Good to know though.

HD: 1280x720, but looks good as 640x360. Allowing the full screen button to work or having a full screen link would be good though.

You might find this useful: You must be logged in to see this link. or then again you might not...

I'm having some problems here with my HQ embed tags. Not sure if it's me or YouTube. I was thinking they'd turned them off, but the Sweeney Todd one above still works...

EDIT
Ah! Just found this on a forum elsewhere "othertimes as soon as you upload a track and it goes LQ, you have to wait about an hour for the &fmt=18 to take effect" So you may have to wait around for any tests to actually work!

You might also find this useful: You must be logged in to see this link. either for use here, or for embedding your own videos (if you have any).
