Test - embedding a video

This is just a test for embedding a video.

No, that's not what I wanted to do. I'm going to have to try pulling one off my hard drive when I get back to my compute and see if the embed function worrks with videos.

Steve Thomas

No. the embed function doesn't work because the file size is larger than 4mb.

AlanSh,

Thanks. It must not work with Vimeo. All I get is the url for the video link. I don't get an image of the video itself like you do. Are you using the Embed function with the upwards facing arrow. or are you using the Insert icon with the two little mountain peaks?
Maybe I'll have to put a video in Dropbox or something?

Steve Thomas

AlanSh,

Thank you for trying.

In another thread, I tried using the embed code that you used to do in DPReview, but that just showed the embed code as text and didn't embed the video either.

But thanks for looking into this for me anyway.

Markdown > example for a youtube video.

One-click to start it

(A) [![TEXT](THUMBNAIL.URL)](VIDEO.URL)

TXT should be shown when hovering over
THUMBNAIL.URL image

A single click on it should start the video embedded
-> Right now it opens it in a new tab

@AlanSh @stevet1

This one works with a click on the image* ( yes, not yet embedded but getting there)
(I used @AlanSh image as a thumbnail for his video)

.
(B){% include youtube.html id="eEzNeQuu-N4" %}

[{% include youtube.html id="eEzNeQuu-N4" %}]
.

I'm also currently checking for any BB code that could give better results!

`[video=youtube;thumbnail]VIDEO.URL[/video]

[video=youtube;eEzNeQuu-N4]www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEzNeQuu-N4[/video]

`[youtube]{IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

[youtube]{eEzNeQuu-N4}[/youtube]

YESSSSSSSS!! It works

but only using direct Link and no formatting !!!!

You can embed a youtube video using the direct link (URL) without any "code" because you cannot "format" the thumbnail.

It doesnt show nuthing 😢

It doesn't seem to work with Dropbox either.

I tried to embed a video directly from my computer, and the attempt was rejected because the file was larger than 4mb.

I tried inserting it using the little icon that looks like a mountain range, and all I get is the web address of the Dropbox location.
There's no way of inserting the video itself into the body of my text..

I tried copying the web address and pasting it in the body of my text, and all I get is the url. There's no way of inserting the video into the body of my text..
Oh well.
Here's the video I was trying to work with anyway. Prior members of the DPReview Canon Forum have already seen this.

Happy Halloween

Steve Thomas

I keep banging my head till a solution appears.

Never checked with Dropbox, and I will.

HERE WE GO

First result: We got Autostart, not bad.

Hello Steve, from what I see you have the wrong way/link to post from Dropbox.
It doesn't open your video.

From Dropbox you should obtain something like my URL below,
with a dl=0 at the end that allows direct playing on click, if you change it to dl=1 it will force a download, and changing it to raw=1 it will autostart after a click.

`www.dropbox.com/s/witr951ku221cju/2023-02-21%2012.12.57.mp4?dl=1

AlainCh2,

Yeah, I don't know how I screwed that up.
It should read like this (with a 0 at the end).
Happy Halloween
www.dropbox.com/s/gvuwyblr0lfwvud/happy_halloween.mp4%20%281080p%29.mp4?dl=0

How do I get the image to appear though?

Steve Thomas

This is the code.
It read as:

[![TEXT](THUMBNAIL.URL)](VIDEO.URL)

See my previous posts for examples of what I've found so far.

Please note to use "dl.dropboxusercontent.com" instead of "dropbox.com" and RAW=1 at the URL end

Test using raw=1

www.dropbox.com/s/gvuwyblr0lfwvud/happy_halloween.mp4%20%281080p%29.mp4?raw=1

Sorry about that. I tried to delete this post, but the software won't let you delete a post once you've posted it.

Steve Thomas

You could always replace your text with something like [deleted].
See my following post...

Miss Take

😂😁😂😁😂😁

🤦‍♂️

P.S. The swing that was in my video was demolished in a recent tornado scare.
I think I'll use that in the future, when I need to delete a post:

Demolished

Just checked if embedding from YouTube works - it does. 👍
