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.

I haven't been on youtube a lot recently, but when I last checked I noticed they were slowly migrating to using html 5, which is a very smart move. I wouldn't of thought this is going to be completed any time soon though.

With YouTube finally switching over to HTML5 for video, it may be possible. But not all their videos are HTML5 yet.

With the security concerns, we'd have to take a hard look at whether this would be a good idea or not. So I can't say yes just yet.

Alright , I'am glad you was able to answer us.
Looking forward to see the new software even if this feature isn't included Grin

keep us with updates Wink

Learning the troll avoidance button :)

Tentatively it sounds like a good idea
Html 5 being transitioned in and being relatively secure might make it worth implementing
Worst case it can be disabled if issues arise.

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.

Is it really that insecure ? I mean most of the huge known forums that I know use this option and I don't really see them getting hacked Undecided

as redsn0w said , maybe it would be possible in new software since the security is going to inscrease etc .. and the developpers know what they are doing

Maybe in the new forum software it will be possible embed a youtube video, I think the security will grow.

I'am pretty sure it's not that hard to do , Being able to Embeed YouTube videos or other video websites would be nice using BBCode or something simillar [YouTube]URL_HERE[/YouTube] and we get the video embeed here on the post instead of going to YouTube .

Mentioning the developpers names so they can see the thread fast (they asked for it ) : taesup , wangbus
Anyway tell me what you guys think about it and if you agree or not .
