Flash Video Addon

edited August 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hi, To all the who contribute to this product, thank you, great work! I am not a devloper and only copy and paste code to get things to work (I know thats lame, but I just dont have the time! and at least I am honest) To my question, I am Running Vanilla 1 and would like to know, is it possible to have Flash Videos to display and do streamming from Youtube? We have a few friends that share information and gadget reviews, and would be great if we can addin video. the code that you get from you tube looks like this: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m98w6YuPE64"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m98w6YuPE64" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> This site has a good example of using the above string to share video http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/video-pov-combat-bot thanks for the help

  • you need the HTML Formatter addon. http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=33 When you put it on your server (or if you already have it) you need to go into extensions/HTMLFormatter/default.php and change line 25 as follows: Remove the 'object', and 'embed', items from inside the ( ). then when someone wants to post a video, make sure they choose 'Html' from the "Format comments as' buttons below the comments box.
  • if you don't want to enable them, you can try this solution: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/2199/#Item_44

    Thanks, I should of done a search! Both the solutions are very good, although the fastest way was to remove the object and embed tags! Works Great Thanks ithcy
  • That's a bad idea to allow the use of these tag.
  • yeah. adding pictures and flash should be permission based
