I'm working on a new mod for my forum but am having trouble writing the function in inc_func_common.asp.
I think I'm getting close to making this work but need some help.
I'm basically working on a new [media] tag. What you do is place a url to virtually any video from YouTube, Dailmotion, Vimeo or any site like that and it will open in a lightbox style pop up. It will also open swf files, mp3 files, flv files, images... just about anything.
Here is what I have so far...
I know there is already a Online Video MOD but I would like to write a new one that is able to be more robust.
Anyone willing to help me on this?

I looked a little closer at your media function in your inc_func_common.asp file and I think I found the problem. You are missing the line in red:
Also, in the mediaboxAdv-1.1.6.js file, the two places where you enter your URL, I would recommend not using the <% =strForumURL %>. Instead put in the address manually. For some reason the <% =strForumURL %> doesn't always work when it looks for the swf files.
Code:
strArray2 = split(strArray(counter2), cTag, -1)
strCodeText = trim(strArray2(0))

That was it - don't know how I lost that line, thanks.

Glad I could finally help.

Well they found another bug in it. If a URL has a space (whether depicted as a space or as %20), the character is double-encoded and results as %2520. I cannot find where it's happening.

I'm not sure what's happening but when a vid is playing in the box the page number disappears and a large brown section appears below the forum footer. Also I notice it will play an .mp4 that is hosted elsewhere but doesnt play the same vid from a folder on site.
