@a_5mith has developed a number of individual embed plugins, youtube, vimeo, etc. You could consider trying those out.

@julian

Thank you I have looked into them.

The way I see it the Less plugins you need to manage the better, so having them all wrapped into one plugin means less long time issue with updates or the possibility for development stopping on one of them.

It just seems counter productive to have multiple add ons that all do the same thing.

Any how thats just my thinking, one of the reasons I left wordpress after many years. I spend way to much time troubleshooting and managing the service and plugins, which took away from creating content.

Be careful of what you wish for it can also be the down fall

I keep working

tfraley

Seems the plugin has stopped working for me today, was it due to the nodebb update yesterday?

tfraley

Hasn't been working for some time, If you can lend a hand to get this up and going that would be great.

i'm not sure where the problem lies, It was working before.

Any how if i use composer reactor and disable markdown it works fine
Using default composer & markdown does not work
using just default composer and disable markdown not working

I'm not sure what is causing it to be honest

tfraley

I disabled all my plugins with the exeptions of yours and default composer and still no luck

tfraley

OK think I got it working.

Not sure why it does not work when markdown is disabled
but with markdown enabled and the option Autoconvert url-like texts to links checked it's working

a_5mith

The regex is looking for an HTML link, not just the YouTube URL etc. whatever composer you use needs to convert your link into an HTML clickable link before the regex grabs it and converts it to the embed.

@a_5mith thanks for the explanation, makes allot of sense
