New Video section - Video Library

[AB]

I found a great little program that can display videos from Youtube, Vimeo and many other formats to show on the forum in one easy to find spot.

Just click on "Videos" at the top of the red navigation bar and paste the URL of your video from Youtube or similar into the "Media URL" section of the page at the bottom.

Then you just write a sentence about the video and a title and people can rate it, comment, etc.

Please only keep this section for videos of 4wding. I don't mind other types of 4wd's and funny 4wding movies, etc but try to keep it related to 4x4.

Please feel free to paste any older videos of forum meet ups or anything 4wd related you have seen on Youtube lately, etc.

If anyone is having problems or unsure on how to use it then please ask here.

[Timbo]

Awesome job mate.. It's a pretty cool feature that I haven't seen on any other 4WD forum. Granted, I don't look on other 4WD forums. But I can assume!!!

[AB]

Forgot to mention.

When you paste a link from Youtube in this video section it automatically puts in the title, description and Tags that were put into the youtube clip so It's very user friendly and only takes 5 seconds to do.

i Noticed that when you add something it does not take the thread to the to in the "whats New" section? can this be done?

Looks good AB, This forum is really coming together. Boy it gets some traffic. I remember when it was just a pea in a pod, now its a whole vine of knowledge and good people everywhere.

Good Spot, This!

Thanks for the kind words MR, I remember you saying one night jeesh It's quiet on here. Now I can't even keep up...LMAO

It won't update the whats new section but there is a function to notify a forum of when I video has been uploaded. I'll change that setting and see what happens I guess...lol..I have no idea what it does, I guess it sends an auto message to the forum of a new vid.

[Bloggsy]

Cheers AB, All good now.

[AB]

It doesn't seem to be notifying the forum of a new media added to the library.

I'll have to work out the bug...The fun begins...LMAO

[Woof]

Very very good AB, what a great idea mate.........just need to appoint someone to find all of the vids now mate and get them to put them all there, should not be that hard as I am sure that quite a few of our members have no life other than this forum...lolololol
How about everyone that has more than 5,000 post has to find 5 vids or get an infraction whacked on them..hahaha

Great idea Doggy, I see you only have 4000 posts though...LMAO...Nicely done mate!

[AB]

If anyone has any spare time then for sure I would love for members to find some videos in the video section of the forum or Forum Meet Up section and copy the Youtube videos across to this new section.

That would be a huge help for us!!!

So for every vid moved you get a brownie point? Or how about a scratch and sniff sticker?
Lol. I'll chuck a few over tonight.

Or maybe everyone just moves the vids they have posted

Of course Andy, this Doggy is no fool mate...lolololol

[AB]

Just figured it out MR...

When you put the video in there is a button to tick at the very bottom which notifys the forum of a new video uploaded.

[fatwa]

It should just be at the very bottom mate in the middle of the page a button saying "Submit Media"

[taslucas]

ok so im on the media library page, right down the bottom there is a spot to past "media url". i do this then what?
OR go to the submit media button right up the top, then fillin all the box's: URL, Tags, description, etc Then what?
What is a long link? i have a youtube account and just trying to past the link you get when you click "share". This is a link that has already worked in the video section
Am i dumb?? lol or just blind??

[AB]

In the media URL bit you paste the URL from the Youtube video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi4ccVBsZEM

Then press "retrieve information".

This will get the video, It's title, the tags and the video description from Youtube and put it on the forum.

The next page will just be all that info in the page and you can either scroll down to the very bottom and press "Submit Media" or edit any of the descriptions, tags and titles first then press Submit Media button.

ok did that but now it says "cannot parse media URL"

[taslucas]

hang on i just saw your last post

[AB]

You need 2 put it into a category first AB before "Retrieve"

Yeah forgot that...lol...You can still press retrieve and go to next section but you wont be able to submit it without putting it into a category.

Even though there is only one category and the stupid program wont just select that "only" category that's in there as default....lol

[AB]

Paste the link here so i can see it. Did you just upload the video to youtube or is it existing...

[taslucas]

nuh did all that still says "cannot parse media URL"....
Is it the long link, short link thing you were talking about?

[taslucas]

its existing, ive had it on this site before. http://youtu.be/nFFl36LveVw

[NissanGQ4.2]

yeh sorry was wrong, was trying 2 remember without going through it all again *L*

[AB]

I dont know why you tube does that but you need to click that link above and then when the page loads, copy the URL that is on the page.

The link above is this = http://youtu.be/nFFl36LveVw

I just clicked that link which went to Youtube and the video started playing and I copied the link from that window
which is = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFFl36LveVw&feature=youtu.be

That second link will work 100%

I have no idea why Youtube gives a broken link that you can't embed on another site at the start...lol

[NissanGQ4.2]

nuh did all that still says "cannot parse media URL"....
Is it the long link, short link thing you were talking about?

yeh, thats the error

that is a short link you poseted: http://youtu.be/nFFl36LveVw

this is the long link for that vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFFl36LveVw

In youtube, click on "share", then "Options" underneath the link and select "Long Link"

Then Copy that link

[taslucas]

yeah even when i play the vid, then try to copy from the address bar at the top it still changes to the broken link........http://youtu.be/nFFl36LveVw

[taslucas]

this is driving me insane.... i cant get the long link!!!

[AB]

This one will work mate = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFFl36LveVw
