YouTube & Google videos

Now you can embed youtube.com and google videos right into your posts!

the format is simple

YOUTUBE:

PHP Code:

  [ytube]hbUtvQk5tDk[/ytube]

Every Youtube video has a url in which you can cut and paste.

Just take that odd looking character set after the '?v=' and paste it in between the ytube tags as seen above.

sample url taken from the youtube supplied url...

Code:

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbUtvQk5tDk

You would take everything after the ?v=. see the first example above.

And for the first video...

GOOGLE:

PHP Code:

  [gvideo]8122458086415333243[/gvideo]

Every google video has a url in which you can cut and paste. Unlike Youtube, google has a number associated with videos. Simply find the long number located after the "docid=" and insert it between the gvideo tags

Sample Google URL:

Code:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8122458086415333243&q=fly+tying&hl=en

just take the number after the "?docid="

as in the sample above, the above number would give you the following video:

Hope I explained all of this good enough.
