Media links - phpBB update required?

Postby dedja » Thu Dec 21, 2023 12:37 pm

It seems that the YouTube embed code doesn’t work anymore (or I’ve forgotten how to use it).

I assume that this is because YouTube have changed their URL format.

Could a phpBB update or function that will just resolve a media link without the use of embed codes be implemented, like this one? https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... ediaembed/

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that enabled me to work out what I was doing wrong.

The original question still remains, there’s an phpBB extension that negates the need for embed codes.

Unfortunately can't happen

The mass modifications/changes/custom stuff I did when this version was current made it nigh on impossible to upgrade, without losing everything I'd made. This is part of the reason why things have started to degrade too (not least of all, the word search table in the database had 59 Million rows).

I may revisit this in the future, maybe. It's just a massive undertaking and isn't as easy as pressing a button and upgrading

Cheers Diss, figured as much, phpBB must be a pig to work with now.
