Full screen with Youtube - is it possible?

[mark.hs]

The full screen button is disabled on all embedded YouTube videos. Does anyone know how or if this can be fixed?

Edit the template bbcode_video

Find:

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />
<iframe class="restrain" title="YouTube video player" width="<vb:if condition="isset($width) AND $width > 0">{vb:raw width}<vb:else />640</vb:if>" height="<vb:if condition="$height">{vb:raw height}<vb:else />390</vb:if>" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}?wmode={vb:raw vboptions.player_wmode}&autoplay=1"></iframe>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube_share'" />
<iframe class="restrain" title="YouTube video player" width="<vb:if condition="isset($width) AND $width > 0">{vb:raw width}<vb:else />640</vb:if>" height="<vb:if condition="$height">{vb:raw height}<vb:else />390</vb:if>" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}?wmode={vb:raw vboptions.player_wmode}&autoplay=1"></iframe>

Add the red code (two instances):

<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube'" />
<iframe class="restrain" title="YouTube video player" width="<vb:if condition="isset($width) AND $width > 0">{vb:raw width}<vb:else />640</vb:if>" height="<vb:if condition="$height">{vb:raw height}<vb:else />390</vb:if>" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}?wmode={vb:raw vboptions.player_wmode}&autoplay=1" [COLOR=#FF0000]allowFullScreen[/COLOR]></iframe>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'youtube_share'" />
<iframe class="restrain" title="YouTube video player" width="<vb:if condition="isset($width) AND $width > 0">{vb:raw width}<vb:else />640</vb:if>" height="<vb:if condition="$height">{vb:raw height}<vb:else />390</vb:if>" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/{vb:raw code}?wmode={vb:raw vboptions.player_wmode}&autoplay=1" [COLOR=#FF0000]allowFullScreen[/COLOR]></iframe>

Then run AdminCP > Maintenance > Clear System Cache.

You *may* find to get this to work you might have to put your site into debug mode (instructions HERE), then go to the admincp and refresh it. Run AdminCP > Rebuild > Rebuild Video BB Codes. Then take your site out of debug mode again.

There is a JIRA to have this fixed here: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-17003

Mark, the fixed worked and I didnt have to put the site in debug mode.
I do have one followup question about embedding YouTube videos:
1. when we use the editor (underlined A) and use the insert video feature everything look good and proper. Here is an example: https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/mo...3696#post63696

2. when we use the Post Link (chain link icon above) and add the link of a YouTube video, the video thumbnail is fine, BUT when you click on the video it plays in a really small, almost square window. Here is an example: https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/mo...3761#post63761

Do you know how we can fix #2?

[Mark.B]

I think the second issue (which relates to link content types) is a known bug. I'll see if I can find the JIRA for it.

Here it is....fixed in 5.2.7, hopefully:

VBV-16725

[mark.hs]

ok, for some reason I thought it was fixed in 5.2.6. We will wait patiently.

This issue could be simply fixed by adding this in css_additional template.

.videocontainer {
    float: none;
}
