Is it possible to make the videos that we embed on the forums here play in HD/HQ if it's available? If so, I'd like to know the BB replacement for my forums...

Change your playback settings in your profile, assuming you have one on youtube.

Problem is the BBcode only uses the video value, it doesnt take account of the "fmt" (format) part.

There may be an updated BBcode piece of code that accounts for it.

Part from that you'd have to get it to play HD via youtube website.

The fmt part doesn't affect anything when embedded. You have to use a different HTML code to embed the flash for HQ/HD.

I can dig it out for you guys to add as a BBCode if you want.

Alright chill out, I got this.

Let's do this with the HD transformers 2 trailer.
Okay, your typical youtube HD video player is 854x504 pixels. So, we take the HTML embed code:

<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_FDGJ-Z0zY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_FDGJ-Z0zY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>

Copy the bold parts. Now, to make this work in bbcode, we start off with this: (spaces are just to keep it from parsing so i can show it to you)

[ swf=][/swf]

Paste the parts as such:

[ swf=http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_FDGJ-Z0zY&hl=en&fs=1]width="480" height="295"[/swf]

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But, that says 480x295-" SHUT UP I'M GETTING TO THAT :mad:

Okay so, remember that the youtube HD player is 854x504 pixels. Change that accordingly:

[ swf=http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_FDGJ-Z0zY&hl=en&fs=1]width="854" height="504"[/swf]

Now, to make sure this bastard is in HD, add this:
&ap=%2526fmt%3D22

[ swf=http://www.youtube.com/v/Q_FDGJ-Z0zY&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D22]width="854" height="504"[/swf]

Aaaand post:

width="854" height="504"

You may applaud.
