How to insert video ?

[Loethen Shen]

Is Markdown not support html like this?

<embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNzEyMDkzNjgw/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

and like this:

<iframe height=498 width=510 src="http://player.youku.com/embed/XNzEyMDkzNjgw" frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe>

How to solve this problem ?

@Loethen-Shen There is already a plugin for youku, but it's out of date, I have forked it to support the latest version, but as I'm not in mainland China, I can't test it, you can install it by running

npm install git+https://github.com/a5mith/nodebb-plugin-youku.git

Please let me know if it works.

EDIT: I've submitted a pull request to the original author, but I don't think the changes will be on npm yet.

Is there a way to insert video which uploaded as attachments, like http://mydomain/uploads/xxx.mp4 ?

You could create a plugin that takes mp4s and wraps them in the HTML5 video tag.

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="url-to.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video> 

The text inside the video tags are for any browser that doesn't support HTML5 Video.

@a_5mith For future reference, later version of npm do support a simpler syntax:

$ npm install a5mith/nodebb-plugin-youku

@fiag You can use my plugin here, then you can play mp4 or m3u8 video
