I hear you on this part, but I'd wager the slight nuances in video hosts' implementation of their videos makes it unlikely that one vBulletin tag can be made to embed any of them. I haven't looked at the embed options of, say, Viddler or Blip, however, so perhaps it is entirely possible for us to whip up a generalized one that just takes a video URL or, more correctly, the embed source.

As Aldurin recently found out, there's a way to make embedded videos play automatically. Please don't do that outside of a specific thread, thanks.

This includes any cases where it'd be totally funny, where this song would fit this thread so well, or where you just had to try it after reading Meister's post not to do it.

e: apparently that was fifth but still

If you make videos play automatically I think we will have to intervene from an administrative standpoint vis-a-vis timeouts.

Perhaps this might benefit from a forum-wide Announcement, just to make sure people get the memo?

Jagos · 10-17-2011, 01:44 PM

Please do... It's a pain in the arse when YT vids are playing automatically and clashing with each other.

Yes, I agree. I've been tinkering with Firefox to get it to stop autoplaying to no avail, so I don't know what music I'm going to be assaulted with when I click on a thread. Don't really care for how humorous it is, I don't need to hear Rebecca Black, thanks. The autoplay instantly decreases how humorous it is.

Flarecobra · 10-17-2011, 01:55 PM

I'm in complete agreement. Especally when I hit "Stop" and it decides to self-play again.

rpgdemon · 10-17-2011, 05:00 PM

Can you just disable the autoplay?

I can't think of when it'd be useful. Like, I can only think of abusive reasons for it to exist.

Yeah like, 10 hours ago called.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
