Recommended Youtube plugin 2023?

[eeeee]

My 2023 wish would be to have a youtube embed player, at least a plugin in the list.
In the meantime which is the best one to use if I do CLI install. For example which one does this forum use?

Try nodebb-plugin-ns-embed

On the current installation, this can only be done by using

 ./nodebb install -f nodebb-plugin-ns-embed

to install it.

Please backup your forum before and install at your own risk.

This forum here uses iframely

@FrankM thanks, whats the difference between ns-embed and iframely?
If this forum uses iframely why do you recommend ns-embed over it.
Just curious, I can be indecisive when there are choices lol, thats why I would prefer a stock option

@eeeee ns-embed is a little easier to get working. Iframely either needs to be self-hosted or paid for.

@eeeee if you're still interested in getting iFramely to work as self hosted, there's a guide I wrote for that on my site here

Ok last question, if iframely is more complicated to get going, why would anyone use that.
If they both do the same thing?
Is there some advantage with iframely which makes this site choose it?

Iframely is realy good and works like a charm for several domains

@eeeee iFramely supports way more sites.
