How do you get Autoplay of Youtube

[Marcus]

Ok so I'm going to be doing my Town Profile soon, and want to add some music to spice it up. The music is going to come from a Youtube Video, and I want it to autoplay. How do you do this? Could someone explain the steps I need to do to get it from Youtube, then get it into Autoplay in a post...thanks!

PMed you Marcus.

Add *blocked*=1 to the end of the link.

So:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Waq4wad5X4

Would become:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Waq4wad5X4*blocked*=1

Never mind, I can't tell you what it is, Storm has disabled members from using the tag for it outside of BBcode. I don't think he realises you can still use it in code... XD

Add *blocked*=1 to the end of the ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Waq4wad5X4[/code]

Would become:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Waq4wad5X4*blocked*=1

What is the [flash=257,25] part?
And what does the *blocked* part do?

 

[//RUN.exe]

&auto.play=1

add that to the end of the url without the period

the determines the width and height of the video, x being width, y being height (i think?)

omitting the =x,y gives you the default embed size

so, example

[flash]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwhl-LxS4Go

if we use that, we get

<object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width="250" height="250" data='http://www.youtube.com/v/rwhl-LxS4Go'>
<param name='AllowScriptAccess' value='never' />
<param name='wmode' value='transparent' />
<param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/rwhl-LxS4Go' /><param name='play' value='true' />
<param name='loop' value='true' /><param name='quality' value='high' /></object>

if we put in different x and y values...

we get...

http://www.youtube.com/v/rwhl-LxS4Go

you're going to want to keep a square or rectangular shape going on, though, becausee if you use something like 40,300...

the video looks weird.

if we added &auto.play=1 at the end of either of those videos (without the period between "auto" and "play"), the video we added it to would begin playing upon loading

hope that helps
