Ol Smoke Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Every time I try to put a music video on here from Youtube it only shows the link. I cannot figure out how to put the image on the thread of the song you want to play. Can someone give a brother a hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaskarthx Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I copypaste the link and post it, then it automatically turns into the video... I don't know any other ways to do it... Do you also only copypaste the link? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic121 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Another way would be to do: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?id[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Smoke Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have done that three times and all it shows is the link text. No image I am using FIrefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic121 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Might be a problem with the link then? If I remember rightly it doesn't work with their short URL, you know the one you get from the "Share" thing just below the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xernicus Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The key is removing anything except the video ID... ie youtube.com/watch.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=H9sbA2gnWHI&feature=player_embedded is your original posted link. Remove the & and anything past it... and you get: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepar Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Or the easiest way is to right click on the video and then press "Get video URL" and copy the link. Im not sure if that's possible on Firefox but at least it does on Chrome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiD Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Don't click on the 'share' button on youtube. Copy the link from the address bar at the top of the screen. if posting won't work, you can use the media tags. You can also use the special bbc code button. Above the U (for underline), in the full post editor, is the special bbc code button. Click it, select media from the dropdown menu, and then paste the youtube link in the media url spot. No need to put in dimensions. This should all work, as I use both FF and chrome, myself. Edited November 21, 2014 by SiD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Copy the url then when pasting in the forums right click and then paste as plain txt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow flash Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 In some version of firefox it used to be broken something to do with html5 videos but it should be fixed in latest versions of firefox. I had this problem when i used to use firefox but coz it still crashes on youtube/flash problems I decided to change to opera. But if you wanna stick to mozilla just make sure its updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 what browser are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic121 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 None of those would work. You'd have to do this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=NK1KDJSVj7Q[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
