Does anyone know how to embed video from Smugmug here? I used to be able to do it fine like this post.

Now when I use the same code it just shows the text. The only option that seem to work now is to paste the BBcode link from Smugmug in this format "[u*l=https://klevins.smugmug.com/Airplanes/N1151J-Overhaul/i-p9ZFmkM/A]

Not sure if something changed in how our version of VB processed links. On ADVrider, another VB forum, I can directly embed the video by just using a link like this: "https://api.smugmug.com/services/embed/8776057784_p9ZFmkM?width=640&height=360&albumId=154772970&albumKey=QLjsF5".
 
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="640" height="360" src="https://api.smugmug.com/services/embed/7911185778_FpZpWw8?width=640&height=360&albumId=154772970&albumKey=QLjsF5"></iframe>

Above is the exact link that worked in the Orion LED video. No longer worky.
 
Ken - have you tried using the 'Insert Video' button in the toolbar?

Yes...does not work for Smugmug but looking at how the youtube link is created I'm going to try a few things.

FYI - on ADVrider, which also runs vbulletin, I can just drop in the Smugmug html link and the video is embedded, nothing else to do. So I'm guessing there is some level of customization in the background on vb.....

I just sent a message to ADVrider asking them if they'd share whatever they've done to make it work.
