Maybe there could be an option in settings to turn off showing the embed videos? For example, if you are on mobile you would turn this embed videos off, and if you are on a fast desktop you would turn them on.

That will be good. For slow networks, turning off flash, image etc... codes is better for fast loading. This option should be available and appropriate place will be 'Forum Layout and Preferences' IMHO.

I would vote no on this feature simply because when you get a video section people posting and abusing videos it gets intensive on bandwidth used on site and loading of pages with lots of videos on can often and did crash some instances of firefox when had one topic have about 30 videos all rammed into one and some people even had auto play on. So this feature soon got disabled and only allowed for individual groups who could be trusted with the feature that was good once decided on having it added to only long standing group members who earned it and works pretty good that way.

Having embed videos option would cause nothing but problems to be made available for everyone to post.

Just my honoust opinion and 2 Bitcents, but won't that make the pages load far less quick for some people?
Not to mention security hazards and added server load. No thanks...

The whole page loads before the video, so that wouldn't be a problem. The server load would go to Google, which I'm fairly sure has the way to handle it.

About security... I don't know, but I think there shouldn't be a problem either.

Same thing goes for security I guess , Flash is known to be unsecure as far as I know but as some people said above HTML5 should be fine and YouTube started using it also but not all of them have the ability to be Embeeded unless you add =HTML5 or something like that (check posts above), not sure about Vimeo & Dailymotion and other famous video providers .

I'm pretty sure that this could be easily implemented in the new forum software, but I don't think it could ever be added in SMF, as SMF is really unstable, seeing that someone hacked the whole forum with avatars.

I know right , I keep asking my self why the hell Sirius and Satoshi made this choice to use Simple machines forum instead of vBulletin which have more security and also more known . Even if it's paid , but it does worth it .

~ Madness

Maybe when they started out, they used all there resources on creating Bitcoin and couldn't afford a vBulletin forum. I'm waiting for the new forum, they said around February, but it's the end of February now and no new forum yet.

It's not that expensive (the vBulletin forum) to be honest . It's about 300$ as far as I know , or they could simply download leaked versions but that may cause problems with the company (vBulletin).
Btw , you can forget the story for the new forum little bit , because it may take some more time . Beta was expected in December and final release in Fed but none of this happened . so we should pass by a Beta first then the final release . so it's gonna take some time . I will say Summer .

~ Madness

Maybe they didn't have $300 bucks to spare. Has the beta ever been released yet? I was so excited for the new forum.

Well I just told you that it didn't get released , the Beta will be released on a new server and not this one btw .
Here is the Source code of the new forum (seems like it got updated last time about 12 hours ago , glad to know that devs are working) : https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk , you can setup your own copy on your PC or VPS if you have some programming knowledge .

~ Madness

Ah ok, thanks. I find it strange that the new forum is open source as they spent 1 million on it, just generous I guess.

Lol , you have to be a mind reader or something . you have basically the same way thinking as me .
You can see here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10021726 (Start reading from there , I asked the same question basically) that may help you get an answer like I did .

SWF is insecure, there are a lot of 0-day exploits out there. HTML5 on the other hand is better, maybe only allow HTML5 videos for the tag?

YouTube embed code is an iframe. I don't know if we can control whether it will load an HTML5 player of a Flash player.

You can force YouTube to use HTML5 by adding '?html5=1' to the end of the video. It has been a while since I used this tag, but I think it still works.

really ? , gonna start doing that o_o thanks for the tip

Flash is insecure and that's the reason why it's not used on the current forum software. Embedding SWF would be annoying also. I don't see the hardship of linking a video.

well , being able to directly show a video , will get more views and it will look alot more proffesional :>

Didn't youtube recently ditch flash and they now use html5 as a default? Not sure, I might be wrong.

Nah , they started using it but it's not available on all their videos . some of them still use Flash as far as I know .
