Embedding a song in your thread is actually quite simple. It is just a matter of placing the embed code for a Youtube video in your thread and then changing the height and width of that video to "0" and then just adding the coding for autoplay.

(Credit to Thebluefire2011 for showing me how to add autoplay using BBCode.)

Here's how to do it, step by step:

First, get the usual embed code for your song. It should look something like this:

<flash=420,315>http://www.youtube.com/v/1orKD1ZG5KU?version=3&hl=en_US</flash>

Like that the song will only play when somebody hits the play button. We need it to play on its own. To do that we must add a little something to the URL to enable autoplay. In between the "3" in version=3 and the subsequent "&" just place this: &autoplay=1. If you do that your code will now look like this:

<flash=420,315>http://www.youtube.com/v/1orKD1ZG5KU?version=3&autoplay=1&hl=en_US</flash>

Now all that's left is to make video invisible. However, with BBCode we can't do it like we used to do. If both dimensions are set to "0" then the video won't play, unfortunately. Instead we can just set each dimension to 1 and it will be almost just as good. The whole thing will be just a pixel on your screen and probably go unnoticed. The important thing is that it will play. The final result is that your code looks like this:

<flash=1,1>http://www.youtube.com/v/1orKD1ZG5KU?version=3&autoplay=1&hl=en_US</flash>

Just make sure that you are using brackets in place of the <>'s. BBCode likes brackets.

(Ignore the fact that the URLs are hyperlinked. The system won't let me post them as plain text.)

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/1orKD1ZG5KU?version=3&autoplay=1&amp;hl=en_US" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/1orKD1ZG5KU?version=3&autoplay=1&amp;hl=en_US</a>

The code thing doesn't work for me? I put the youtube link in and it says website invalid, I also tried the embeded and it said the same.

Which video were you trying to use?

jakey101 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 02, 2012, 10:11 pm »

I tried about four different codes to be sure, but non of them worked. I might just have internet problems though?

Thanks Superluigi77.

jakey101 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 03, 2012, 09:32 am »

It's fine it works now.

And thanks.

I should find a place in one of one my fused threads for this.

rooo0 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 04, 2012, 09:29 am »

You should put this in Brocky's Basic Training tread.

Superluigi77 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 04, 2012, 01:20 pm »

I was thinking of putting it in my own all-around guide. I don't trust brocky to give the proper credit for this. *wink wink*

alexmd · « **Reply #9 on:** March 04, 2012, 03:27 pm »

Maybe you could put it in General fused for a bit?

Superluigi77 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 04, 2012, 05:42 pm »

No, we have too many fused threads in general as it is.

Superluigi77 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 04, 2012, 05:51 pm »

What I think I might do is move this to Private Messages, fuse it, and then just provide a link to it in my other guide.

jakey101 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 05, 2012, 07:35 am »

That's a good idea.

dormin69 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 05, 2012, 11:49 am »

Thanks super!

kittysocks · « **Reply #14 on:** March 05, 2012, 01:50 pm »

I love it! I listen to my fave songs in my discussions.

Thanks!

mrezman · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2012, 02:28 pm »

Wait, what is the code for a regular YouTube video?

Superluigi77 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2012, 03:08 pm »

Just remove to bit of the code that induces autoplay and then change the size of the video to whatever you want it to be. That, or just get the original embed code from the video's Youtube page.

Antmarch123 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 07, 2012, 12:15 am »

Thank you so much! Now I can add music to my roleplay forum game to give a nice music on the game.

Superluigi77 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2012, 01:03 am »

Also, if you are having trouble with this process then you can just give me the link to the video you want embedded and the thread in which you want it embedded and I just might do the work for you.

Super? Can you do me a favor. I have trouble accessing YouTube, so I would like you to get the code for Livin' on a Prayer (By Bon Jovi) and PMing me the code (Also, make sure that it doesn't process, so do something to the code and tell me to do something to it.

)

Umm, can I test it in this thread?

Superluigi77 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:29 am »

Please don't. Thank you.
