YouTube embedding issues

[BeerAndPoker]

It just me or if everyone then why can't we full screen a youtube video on here anymore without clicking it to go to youtube like we could in the past using the "[video]" commands?

Off topic but is it just me or if everyone then why can't we full screen a youtube video on here anymore without clicking it to go to youtube like we could in the past using the "[video]" commands?

Pretty sure that's a fucntion of the new html5 player youtube uses. Embedded flash player has the button by default but is trash on mobile. Embedded HTML5 player has no fullscreen by default, but is better everywhere else.

I remember simpler times when you could post a YouTube video without having to code.

The video button used to create the overhead necessary to show the video in your post. Now it doesn't

I have not used that newfangled tapatalk. Is that what's troubling me Bunky?

For all the low-grade trolling I do of Druff he has responded with the cleverest troll of his own.

Never saw the value of Tapatalk. Will it regrow my thinning hair?

Druff, if I copy a YouTube link and use the video button and paste link into the drop down box it just echos the link without the added overhead

I have been adding the additional script myself as with the Emirates Todger video

I think the problems are with the youtube short links, which won't work with the default https in front. The long link works fine that way.

first, with https https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ah7s24zaWA


and without http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ah7s24zaWA

Wait, are you talking about this forum?

If the video button isn't wrking right, tell me exactly what's happening and I'll fix it.
