So, this module powered by html5 video or adobe flash player?

Here is the reason... from bbcode_video.php

Language: PHP
   // Handle unknown videos. Turn them into standard URLs.
    $search[]  = "/\[video\](.+)\[\/video\]/is";
    $replace[] = "video: [url]$1[/url]";

That said, you are on your own to change it to something that works.
The code above it has several examples.

Well, if anyone is alive ?

The video displays perfectly when I link from you tube, I just dont care.

But when I want to dispaly my video it just shows the link.

How come it refuses to generate the simple code to invoke the player if the url is not youtube or a commercial provider ?

my video

it just shows video : [ de-pascale.pagesperso-orange.fr ]

Quick fix for PHP 7
In case anyone else can't get this to work, and is also getting the unexpected new (T_NEW) error error on clicking the module settings, try editing bbcode_video/settings.php line 19 and deleting the ampersand (&).

Unfortunately, when I click settings under Modules, I get a blank page.

Please activate the Event Logging Module and look there for error messages or look into your server error log.

Thank you for updating this module. Fortunately, youtubes are embedded and working. Unfortunately, when I click settings under Modules, I get a blank page. Also, the video icon for the editor doesn't show up.

I am using 5.2

Can you please help me?

Thanks

Possibly. I moved onto paid software when phorum development had clearly ceased.

No, you are certainly not the only person using Phorum or bbcode_video

Could you include a diff? My own bbcode_video is heavily modified which makes it difficult to see what you've changed. As far as I can tell, Youtube and Vimeo embeds are working fine here, so either I've already made the change or it's applicable to a different URL format than I'm using.

OK...apparently vimeo was broken too. Fixed it as well and attached the corrected file. Am I the only one left using this module and/or Phorum?

Re: Module: BBcode Video

ToddUGA — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 17:36:35 -0400

Just a heads up. Google has deprecated the object embed code, which was causing issues with my users only seeing an empty black box when trying to view embedded youtube videos. I've attached my fixed version. Now viewing youtube videos is working again across multiple OS/devices/browsers.

Apologizes for the late reply Scott. For some reasons I did not get notice of your post. Yes, I do Allow Linking To Uploaded Files from any websites.

Re: Module: BBcode Video

jero01 — Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:11:55 -0500

I have the same problem.
On Phorum version 5.1, videos are showing and playing but on version 5.2 it does not work and just the URL is showing.

Re: Module: BBcode Video

Scott Finegan — Sun, 11 Oct 2015 16:53:52 -0400

Nicola,
In the admin, do you allow linking to files hosted offsite?
Clear the cache.

Hello,

The module does not seem to work with webm videos.
Did someone managed to make it accept them?

Here's an example of such a video :

Thanks

For some reasons video is not working. Module is installed and is on. Video icon shows in the menu. But still shows the Youtube web address.

Anybody know how to modify the code so that youtu.be links work? Been taking a whack at it and so far have not been successful.

I added this to phorum_mod_bbcode_video_format()

Language: PHP
    $search[] = "/\[video\]https?:\/\/youtu.be\/([\w_-]+)\[\/video\]/is";
    $replace[] = "[video]youtube:$1[/video]";

and this to the "handle_plain_urls" conditional section just below

Language: PHP
        $search[] = "/https?:\/\/?youtu.be\/([\w_-]+)/is";
        $replace[] = "[video]youtube:$1[/video]";

Look at this topic and see if it is helpful. (Note, even though it has the same topic title, it is in the Phorum 5.1 Modules..

I think I just changed all the "/[video\]http" to "/[video\]https?" for all url patterns in bbcode_video.php a long time ago

The "s?" means the regular expression (regex) will match an optional s

^Thank you Scott!

For the fix I added this code to the file "bbcode_video.php"

	$search[] = "/[video\]https:\/\/(\w+\.)?youtube.com\/watch\?v=([\w_-]+)[a-z0-9;\/\?:@=\&\$\-_\.\+!*'\(\),~%#]*[\/video\]/is";
    $replace[] = "[video]youtube:$2[/video]";

directly underneath this code...

	$search[] = "/[video\]http:\/\/(\w+\.)?youtube.com\/watch\?v=([\w_-]+)[a-z0-9;\/\?:@=\&\$\-_\.\+!*'\(\),~%#]*[\/video\]/is";
    $replace[] = "[video]youtube:$2[/video]";

If anyone is listening I'd recommend this be added to the next release version since MOST if not all youtube links when copied from Youtube start with "https:"

Re: Module: BBcode Video

Scott Finegan — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 00:00:43 -0400

The code in this file "bbcode_video.php" is not set up to detect https anything, It is hard coded to http.

If you change the hard coded links, you tube videos embed.

Re: Module: BBcode Video

rchecka — Wed, 03 Sep 2014 14:07:17 -0400

Is anyone else unable to make https vids embedded or am I the lucky lone cricket in the room? Can someone please test it on their forum?

Re: Module: BBcode Video

rchecka — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:24:43 -0400

Thanks for the quick response. Hopefully this answers your question.

For example, this BB-code

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sgfWiJPNUc[/video]

shows this...

but this....

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sgfWiJPNUc[/video]
This is always an issue for all youtube links since by default the share link is https:, so even forcing the s out of youtube only links would work most of the time.

Re: Module: BBcode Video

Scott Finegan — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:57:32 -0400

I am not sure that is a minor fix. It also creates a problem for when everything is https, and is not available http.

Are the videos playing in your Phorum message, rather than in a new window or tab? What happens if you open the video in a new window or tab?

Is the browser blocking the content, because the content on your page comes from two different domains.
Or
Some secure, some not?

Re: Module: BBcode Video

rchecka — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:42:45 -0400

One minor fix to this mod would be fantastic...

For whatever reason, "https:" links from youtube do not work for ANY video starting with https:. However, if you strip off the "s" that same video now can be embedded. Could we change the code so it autmatically strips the "s" from every pasted in video link so that I don't have to tell my users videos really do work, just only if you remove the s from https.

I'm sick of explaining that this video feature really does work and the work around to all my users and since every link you get with youtube is a secure link this is a problem most of the time.

Re: Module: BBcode Video

Skye N. — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:34:03 -0400

Here's a bug... if "Automatically show video links as embedded video" is checked, then links get auto-embedded even if they are in another bbcode tag

For example

[url=http://vimeo.com/70552784]Hunt V Lauda - F1's Greatest Racing Rivalry[/url]

will show like this

[url=
* embedded video here *
]Hunt V Lauda - F1's Greatest Racing Rivalry[/url]

I did the steps in the readme file but just gives me a link to you tube doesn't embed the video
I have phorum 5.2.19 (downloaded it yesterday) and video mod 1.0.10 am I supposed to make any code changes?
