YouTube code not working

[Moegopher]

I downloaded the YouTube mod (the one by labrocca), but it's not working for me. I've tried both [youtube][/youtube] and [yt][/yt], but the same thing keeps happening. It displays where the video would normally be, and I can even right click on it and it gives me the Flash options, but no video. Occurs in Firefox, IE and Opera.
Can anyone help me out?

What url from youtube are you using? Remember to copy the video url from the url box and not from the browser.
Kind Regards.

That wasn't the problem, it seems. It's still doing the same thing.

[Imad Jomaa]

Give me a link to your forum.

The thread I was previously testing was on a hidden board, so I made a new one just now.

No, I think you just need the ID of the film, not the entire URL. The bit that's after that equal sign.

I viewed the page source and this is what it's showing me:

http://www.youtube.com/v/http://youtube....TnjsNTTz2Q

Do what LegosJedi said, that will work.

[The lebrocca mod I had must of been an old one because it accepted the entire url]

Your using it wrong. It works perfectly fine.

Can you please post the url you are entering inside the tags?

It does look like this in the source:

http://www.youtube.com/v/http://youtube....TnjsNTTz2Q

but it SHOULD be this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vTnjsNTTz2Q

Have you altered the plugin?

[Moegopher]

Well, I tried what LegosJedi said. It worked.
I don't know otherwise. When I edit the post, I see [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=vTnjsNTTz2Q[/youtube]. I'm not sure why it would look like that in the source.
I haven't altered the plugin at all. Very weird. :|

I don't mean to discourage plugin authors, but just want to comment that this can also be done via MyBB's Custom MyCodes.

If you want to use MyBB's Custom MyCodes (AdminCP -> Message Filters -> Custom MyCode) for something like this, the following will cater for both YouTube URLs and YouTube IDs. To do so, you can add the follow two custom codes:

MyCode title: YouTube URL
Regular expression:

\[youtube\]http\://(www\.)?youtube\.com/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9]+?)(&.*?)?\[/youtube\]

Replacement:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

MyCode title: YouTube ID
Regular expression:

\[youtube\]([a-zA-Z0-9]+?)\[/youtube\]

Replacement:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
