I've downloaded the file "Media.pl" and ASKII'd it into CODE folder. When I click to preview my message, we see code only, not any YouTube videos.

Anyone with the skills to assist is invited to help.

Are you wrapping the youtube number (ie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4DpceZbpTQ)
Code
[youtube]R4DpceZbpTQ[/youtube]

That should work....

Also worth noting that handling YouTube videos does not need the 'media.pl' file mentioned.

I'd also remove it (unless it's needed for something else, but I have used YouTube videos in my forum for years without it, just need the tags mention in the previous post).

after using the [ youtube] data [ /youtube] wrappers, I've gone to PREVIEW but have not seen any video. Are you suggesting that I actually POST the message and that maybe the video will appear? I'm willing to try that.

As an administrator I can delete the test messages so as not to clutter the board. Hope this helps others with similar questions.

Re: Media.pl, OK I can & will remove it, as recommended by those of you who know way way more than I do!

PROBLEM SOLVED! Delete any extra spaces between the wrapper!

Thanks guys~
