embed more common video types in forum messages (than only YT)
Hi Friends, This was discussed during one of those early long list of features for the new forum Issues, and I don't want to search around for it. Here's a screenshot of all the video types that are allowed by a mod for SMF forums (just fyi). (Sorry it's so small, I had to zoom out to get it all in one shot.) The problem that brought me here was posting some MP4 videos, but they don't embed.
It would be nice if just putting the link in the message, and they would automatically embed, rather than filling out that big dialog that we have for YT videos.
I don't think we need that many. But I think at the very least, YouTube, MP4 and other common formats should automatically be embedded. Here's a list that I would expect to see in the forum. If anyone else wants to clarify or add to the list, please do.
Facebook videos Google videos TinyPic Instagram Vimeo MP4 and other common formats YouTube
Thanks!
