[Forum] Video not working?

[MarceloBR]

Just installed vb4 gold, video doesnt seem to be working:

http://psclube.com/forum/showthread.php?314-Unboxing-do-volante-G25

video tags are there, I checked, but video is not being shown, only the link.

Any thoughts?

Quote yourself on that site of yours and and post it here

[MarceloBR]

Thanks, problem solved: it was lacking the "http://"

How do you change the default size of the video?

I posted this video on my site and it's in a 4:3 window.

Copy and paste what's in your bbcode_video template.

So my guess is that your YouTube videos are being posted in the 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the 16:9 widescreen even though your template states otherwise.
If so, what does your bbcode_video_vbulletin.xml file (/includes/xml/bbcode_video_vbulletin.xml) file show within the provider tags for YouTube?

title>YouTube</title>
        <url>http://www.youtube.com</url>
        <regex_url><![CDATA[http:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/watch\?.*v=([a-z0-9-_]+)]]></regex_url>
        <regex_scrape></regex_scrape>
        <embed><![CDATA[<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{vb:raw code}" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>]]></embed>
    </provider>

Here's how it looks:

Do the following:

• Edit your includes/config.php and find this: (I don't recommend doing this on a live forum)
  At least close it for the time being.
  

  <?php

  and place this under it...
  

  $config['Misc']['debug'] = true; 

  So it looks like this...
  

  <?php
  $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

• Go to your Style & Templates -> Style Manager -> MASTER STYLE -> Edit Templates -> BB Code Layout Templates -> bbcode_video
• I believe your old dimensions show this:
  width="425" height="344"
  Change the width & height to this:
  width="640" height="385"
• Save the template
• Post a YouTube video or re-visit one you have already posted
• ???
• Profit

If all is good then remove this from the config.php file.

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true; 

and re-open your forum.

Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner. I tried your changes but the dimensions were already set to 640x385.

I tried another video today and same thing.

I wonder if it's because I had AME on my previous forum version and imported the database, however I did uninstall all products before upgrading to vb4.

Edit: Nevermind I fixed it. It turns out that includes/xml/hooks_vbcms.xml was never uploaded for some reason. It's working now.

post the bbcode_video templates of both the master style template and the default style template.
