Embedded Youtube videos no longer work in Chrome
« on: August 14, 2016, 07:26:26 PM »
It seems that Google has finally decided to ditch Flash which means that embedded Youtube videos no longer work on FFTogether. There's some fixing to be done, Bram. ;D

You can listen to this beautiful compilation while doing it:



Or maybe not if you're a Chrome user. :P



I googled this a bit. It seems to be a simple matter of replacing some of the generated HTML code. This is what is currently generated:

Code: [Select]
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QaAcrSYlfvs&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="never" wmode="transparent" width="425px" height="350px">
  <noembed>
    <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaAcrSYlfvs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaAcrSYlfvs</a>
  </noembed>
</embed>

This should be the correct HTML:
Code: [Select]
<iframe width="425" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QaAcrSYlfvs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Widescreen support would also be nice.

The fix is quite simple, but finding where to make that fix isn't :P

Start digging. ;D Didn't you make the Youtube tag yourself in the first place?

And it's fixed. ^_^

Just admit it, you wanted to watch the movie on the forum.
