YouTube Video Embed Issues

[Junkie]

Hi,
Recently YouTube has made some changes that affected us here at SMA. I won't bore you with the details but at the end of the day I had to change some software that allows videos to be displayed in posts.

This change of software works for the most part however there is a glitch.

The glitch is that all previously embedded YouTube videos now display ONLY as a link. This can be fixed by modifying the post and removing any URL stuff, leaving only the actual URL to the video.

This:

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeFqWEVz-lM#]SMA BSC 2014 Shadowdemon Part Four-Finale[/url]

Needs to simply be this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeFqWEVz-lM

I realize this is a PITA, and I appologize for this. Many of you have videos in your posts and it would be awesome if they would be modified to work again.

As I browse the site I'll modify any posts with video that needs fixing. If you find something please send me a link to the post and I'll fix it for you.

Thanks,
Scott

Note: Edit time limit has been disabled as well, so everyone can edit their own posts.

Hi Scott.
Thank you for the info.
I modified mine and found that if you just replace the link with the "Share" link, it appears to work fine.

I just use the "Vimeo" button on the toolbar here and change Vimeo to youtube ;D
