Hey folks,

Just wanted to post an update, and a request concerning the YouTube player used for embedding YouTube clips into your posts, here on the forums.

First off, you may have noticed one minor new addition since last night. You'll now noticed a http://computerhelpforum.org/images/ytube.gif image in the text editor, when writing your post. Instead of having to type the [youtube] tag out every time, you can just click that button, then paste the YouTube video ID between the brackets.

The second reason I'm making this post is to ask a request. As you know, we recently updated the player, and haven't really had much time to publically test it after making the new script. What I would like everybody to do is use the player as much as possible over the next day or two. This will allow us to load-test the script to see if it can hold up to traffic, and if not, will allow us to do some tweaking to it, so that it can.

If you have any questions, comments, or changes you would like to see regarding the player, please post them below.

And for those who may be new, and need more info on what we're talking about, see this (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3215), and this (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17246) thread.

Thanks,

Shane :cool:

Hey, the_d here.
Do you guys have any suggestions for the youtube player? Any features you'd like to see, anything you think I should fix.
Just post your thoughts here.



Also, I can't make any promises (because different sites have different fomats and setups,) but I'm going to try to create players for some more video sites.

Looking at the debug logs, I see some of you have been trying to embed Vimeo videos with the [youtube ] tag. Oviously that won't work, but If possible I'm going to try to write a player spcifically for vimeo, as well as some other sites. If you think it's a good idea, leave a comment with that video sites you might want me to include.
