Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Embedding non-youtube videos on boards

Is it possible to embed videos from other sites like vimeo, muzu.tv, etc.? In the case of muzu.tv, there is an embed button under each video which generates a removable code stream, eg <object width="482" height="323" id="muzuplayer-schtum-1299696108922"><param name="movie"…

In the case of muzu.tv, there is an embed button under each video which generates a removable code stream, eg

<object width="482" height="323" id="muzuplayer-schtum-1299696108922"><param name="movie" value="http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/UfI3v6EDDu/vidId=579517"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/UfI3v6EDDu/vidId=579517" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" width="482" height="323" name="muzuplayer-schtum-1299696108922"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.muzu.tv/schtum/new-year-dawning-music-video/579517">Schtum - New Year Dawning</a>

from

Is there a way of working the code or using the boards.ie tags so that the video would then be successfully embedded?

Thanks.

That's HTML and is stripped by the forum processor.

I'd imagine support for embedding videos other than youtube would have to be explicitly added to the backend.

Boards would need to add a vB tag as it does for youtube vids for other sites to work. Looks like it might be a while according to Conor

Thanks for the info folks, maybe it might move along the line now that GE 2011 is out of the way

Yeah, that vid is there on youtube as well (was just using it as an example really), but there are some that wouldn't be.

Also Vimeo is a very smooth format to use and I think muzu.tv are an Irish company.
