The Forum has been Updated
The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
I've been fiddling around with some javascript to circumvent the Eolas patents which will change IE very soon.
Based on those javascript functions I decided to create some additional forumcode that allows users to embed video/flash directly in their posts, at least in IE and on Windows.

If you implement the above mentioned functions etc, you'll be able to use the [video][/video] tags for:
... * 4:3 & widescreen Vimeo videos using the HTML Embedding code provided byYoutubeVimeo. * 4:3 Vimeo videos using the URL
Example at oxle:
This link: http://vimeo.com/4946315
Embedded as widescreen player with the embed code:
Code:
[video]<object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie"
value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4946315&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" />
<embed
src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4946315&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
allowfullscreen="true"
allowscriptaccess="always"
width="400" height="225"></embed></object>

Marcel,
I love all the work you did to this and appreciate that you're sharing it.
I'm sure you considered this, so I want to get your thoughts because I might allow videos on my site:
Would it be simpler to create a system where the user can input the video ID instead of the entire embed code? I think the video ids are always the same, even when urls change. Then you can create a system that allows the user to check the site where they're grabbing the video. This seems to reduce the complexity but requires the poster to know where to find the video id.
For example, the user goes to embed a video id:
Supported video sites (radio button):
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- NYTimes
Embed video id: ________________.
This seems to reduce the complexity of the script and also seems like it would be easy to update or is this simply one half of the other?

That's how I used it initially.
However, as most users simply want to grab the embed code instead of look for the video id, I decided to change the approach to actually allow the embed code to be posted.
That's why I now have support for just a couple of sites instead of all sites.
My code finds out which video to embed, and which size (widescreen or 4:3), and then changes it accordingly.
You could add any site embed code if you want, as long as you know how to deconstruct it to remove malicious inserted code and reconstruct it.
From the top of my head my code now supports Youtube, Vimeo, GoogleVideo and Dailymotion.
