Title: Youtube Button Widescreen Fix
Post by: Beetleboi -Greg- on December 13, 2008, 10:28:25 PM
If you try to use the Youtube button to insert a video on the site for a widescreen video it will look like this...

[yt=425,350]<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eMvbQNc_-wU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eMvbQNc_-wU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>[/yt]

Now if you change the 425 number in the code to 600 it will look like this...

[yt=600,350]<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eMvbQNc_-wU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eMvbQNc_-wU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>[/yt]

Not sure if the 600 is the right number, I've never been good at math, but it looks a whole hell of a lot better IMHO.

yt=600,350][/yt this is the way the code should look for posting widescreen videos on the but you have add a [ at the beginning and a ] at the end.

Any ?'s PVT me I'll walk you through it.
