Youtube Videos on EAB? - Page 2

Hiliarious DDNI. You are soooo damn funny. Not. My problem with it is that I often view EAB on my smart phone so any embedded videos slowing down the loading of threads will be a major pain the arse.

Smartphones won't download any embedded videos. The video doesn't load until you hit play. You only see the poster frame.
So your concern isn't really valid. There shouldn't be any slowdowns. Unless you are browsing the board with a Ericsson T68i in WAP mode

But then again, that phone won't even load anything

The majority have spoken, let it be so.

Looks like it could be happening then...?

I voted no, because I liked how the world looked in 1984

Gzegzolka · 27 June 2014, 21:52

I vote for Yes, if those videos are going to be amiga related.

I think its a good idead to have some vids. But maybe a limitation per post would be a good idea so threads aren't flooded with them.

Good idea, no more than say 2 per post (unless you have my username and then you can go for your life).

Michael Sykes · 05 July 2014, 14:43

Why not?
I voted yes.

But with IBrowse I would have to go to YT anyway to watch the clips in FFPlay.
I think getwideo won't work with embedded YT stuff on EAB.

Carlos Ace · 07 July 2014, 13:53

I voted Yes!

RCK · 14 July 2014, 20:56

I have to take the time to do it correctly

Peter · 14 July 2014, 20:58

Thank you RCK.

Youtube I don't mind/care so long as it doesn't slow the EAB down.

Hmmm... I'm not such a fan of video's in theads. I go on YouTube or Vimeo for video's so I can see them full screen. I don't always have time to watch videos when I find them. I usually bookmark them, forget about them and then watch them when I find the bookmark weeks later...

I have voted negatory (no).

ReadOnlyCat · 21 June 2016, 06:05

Hum, it looks like RCK did not have the time to implement this feature.

If it is still on the agenda, I would suggest doing it as they do on Ars Technica:
- show only a short line indicating the inclusion of a video, which when click, then expands the page to reveal it.

This has plenty of advantages:
- no slowdown when opening the page since the content is loaded only upon clicking
- keeps the thread compact
- does not bother people who do not want to see videos

I hope we eventually can have it.

Zetr0 · 21 June 2016, 13:41

I think its sad this feature isn't enabled - this is 2016 - I appreciate there are some users using some hardcore - old school systems to access EAB - surely these are a minority?

Everyone and their cat has a YouTube channel these days - by not adopting / including this feature - one could see a subtle dis-service is being done.

I would say try it - you might like it - if not - then you can refine it so it doesn't erk you so much.

Simply things really - have an option on the main board user profile that allows the user to see a link or in-line video and on the mobile portion only a link (which teaches you right for logging in with a Z80 CPU!).

Pretty much job done right there.

Amiga1992 · 21 June 2016, 14:37

Hopefully RCK will bring this on eventually! I think it's a must feature.
It may even be able to be a on/off kinda feature, which users worried or annoyed about it can turn off from their CP (like I turn off signatures)

RCK · 29 July 2016, 10:13

EAB will now convert youtube [URL] into one embedded player on modern browser

no time to make it smaller or add one CP option to disable it, sorry.

Great thing I guess... But some of the threads has lots of Youtube links. My Longplay thread is on of them: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=78380 It almost crashed my browser because of all embedded videos.
