Would any of you gentlemen with such immense knowledge (just stating the facts!) be interested in writing something for a Vimeo Mod?
Lucapan did an AWESOME and yet simple YouTube mod here. I would think a Vimeo Mod could be just as short and simple.
My most favorite artists use Vimeo (here: http://vimeo.com/user2129614) and I can think of nothing more exciting, at the moment, than to have these videos play on my forums.
Does anyone have time for this?

You've done something wrong, because Leatherlips' version creates a single link which (when clicked) plays the video. If you followed the topic and added all the code provided by Leatherlips and Etymon, the button function is provided.

I was trying to say that according to his link here http://www.mangionemagic.com/testforum2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2 only a button will be displayed in the post, not the video. Or, did I misunderstand his example on the above site? But the main thing I was looking at was the fact that not all of the buttons in his post worked properly.

I read the post and saw where there was a button code by someone else but then looked at Leather Lips' example using the link above. Are you saying if I download his mod from SnitzBitz and then follow the additional steps from that post, it will display the video or the video link. . .or the button as in his example?

You'll get a new button in the post editor group (provided that you create a button, save it in the images folder, and name it as Etymon did in his code). When someone creates a video link using the [media][/media] function, the post will simply show a link titled "play media" or something similar (cannot recall precisely). When that link is clicked, a pop-out window will display the video.

Okay, I just finished Leather Lips' mod. It plays the videos fine but I have two problems.
I must have done something wrong because I can't get the button I created to work when it's clicked on.
Also, my forum is secure. Do you have any idea as to what I could do to this mod to make the video links secure? Let me explain. With lucapan's YouTube Mod I made reference to in the first post in this topic, I was able to accomplish that easily. All I did was add the s to his YouTube links in the inc_func_commons.asp file and that stopped the security warning we were receiving when trying to play a video (see below). But, I didn't see any codes like this in Leather Lips' mod.
CodeTags(1,1,1) = "[youtube]"
CodeTags(1,2,1) = "[/youtube]"
CodeTags(1,1,2) = "<object width=""490"" height=""300""><param name=""movie"" value=""https://www.youtube.com/v/"
CodeTags(1,2,2) = """></param><param name=""wmode"" value=""transparent""></param><param name=""allowfullscreen"" value=""true""></param>"
CodeTags(1,1,3) = "<embed src=""https://www.youtube.com/v/"
CodeTags(1,2,3) = """ type=""application/x-shockwave-flash"" wmode=""transparent"" width=""490"" height=""300""></embed></object>"
I am going back to redo the part of the mod regarding the button to see if I can get it to work. Hopefully, I'll be back in a few.

One down and one to go. I had neglected to do as Etymon reminded here.
Reminder Note: Remember to include your .js files in inc_header_short.asp as well.
Sure hope the security problem is as easily fixed.

From what I can recall, the mod has a javascript file titled "mediabox (something)". Inside that file are a number of URLs, all of which default to "http://". Do a simple search & replace to convert them to "https://" and you should be in business.

I haven't tried a huge variety of media but it definitely works for YouTube videos and YouTube Playlists, and for Vimeo videos. YEA! However, I can't get Vimeo to play a secure link. It removes the s from the https. Here's a link to a Vimeo video: https://vimeo.com/47105924. If you paste that into your web browser you'll see that it removes the s. Do you have any ideas on that or do you think Vimeo just hasn't wised up yet and started playing secure links like YouTube?
I couldn't get it to work properly at all with a GodTube video but when I discovered that you can't use the https for GodTube either, I stopped trying.
That's all I've tried thus far. Oh, it will play a .swf, too. And while I am ecstatic about the YouTube videos and YouTube Playlist,
I REALLY want to be able to do the Vimeo videos. So, if you have any suggestions for that, please share them.
I REALLY do appreciate you, Carefree!

Not sure why Vimeo is doing that, they obviously are using a redirect script from a secure connection - so they have the certificate and COULD support https. Nothing can be done about it on the client side, they would have to remove that redirect.

Well, perhaps Vimeo will get their act together and it will work one of these days.
Thank you for checking into it, Carefree!
