@torn2 the YouTube short seems to work ok?

If you click to play, it gives an error. Used to be able to play with Iframely. Also with TikTok.

@torn2 Ah can you provide a new url that doesn't work? That source video seems to have been taken down.

v1.1.2 released with some minor bug fixes:

• Youtube/Vimeo embeds are now responsive
• URLs that don't resolve properly no longer just replace the anchor with nothing and/or throw an error

YT short videos don't work.

Example

- YouTube

Auf YouTube findest du die angesagtesten Videos und Tracks. Außerdem kannst du eigene Inhalte hochladen und mit Freunden oder gleich der ganzen Welt teilen.

@FrankM thanks, I think I know why now

v1.2.2 released with fixes to support Tiktok, Youtube Shorts, and Youtube Live URLs.

Thanks @FrankM, @torn2, @baris for reporting

Awesome, works well. Thanks!

This is an awesome feature.

But I don’t see any options for it in 3.4.3, and I paste a m.youtube style link in a post and no embed is done.

The GitHub repo says the plugin comes with 3.1.x and up. Am I missing something?

Plugin search in admin cp never finds a result. I enter email and it says no results , even though I can see several emailers in the list.

It's bundled but not activated, perhaps that's what you need to do?

@julian

I do not see it under installed plugins…

I finally found and installed it and it works mostly.

It doesn’t recognize https://m.youtube style URLs, so I have to manually edit the m. part out.

That’s the only embed I tried.

(No embed!)

hi @julian , iframely was showing pdfs as preview, so you did not have to click the page to read on another tab, you could just read the pdfs in the forum... Can this plugin be expanded to include pdf previews?

I do not know if it is possible, but I still think it would be very cool to have a pdf previews in the forum, so users do not have to leave the forum to check the pdf documents...

@julian Just to confirm that this plugin did not come bundled when I installed it.
I found and installed and activated with no issue, but it was not part of the basic install.

@darkpollo you're right, the plugin isn't bundled with new installs

@julian works fine, thanks
would be nice to have links opened in new tab or configurable at least

thanks for commenting @benyto . The plugin follows NodeBB's behaviour in not modifying anchor target. The end user can ctrl-click the link to open in a new tab, shift-click to open in new window, etc.
