Another Adobe Flash zero-day exploit - Let's all embed videos correctly! Please READ!

**JayRodney** · 10-15-2015, 09:52 AM

A quick lesson on how to make videos work here so everyone can see them.

1. Do not use the camera icon. Simply go to the YouTube, Vimeo, or whatever page and copy the URL (web address)

2. Paste it where you want it and REMOVE THE "S" from https://

There. That's it for that.

Now, NEVER use the YouTube EMBED code. It forces flash on people and those with iPads, iPhones and those without flash can't see them.

Please note, if you want everyone to see the videos you post, see instructions 1 and 2. Remember to remove the "s" from https.
That's it.

Adobe flash is being phased out, and good riddance.
If you're using Firefox, use this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox...verywhere/
It will play your videos in native html5, far better than flash. If there is only flash, then your flash will kick in.
I'm going to pin this, I don't want to name names but I can no longer see a lot of videos posted here because I've scrapped flash, and some of you are using embed code from YouTube or the camera BBcode forcing flash on everyone.
That is sooo 90's.

In a few months flash may well disappear, so a lot of you are going to have pages and pages of empty threads and posts.

Remove the m. mobile lol

Thank you. grrrr

This is going to be anther problem. Can you see the above? That's what this thread is for.
Hey, the problem is also your "advanced" crapple device will not even take you to the regular versions of the videos.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I have to think about a method to solve that as well.

Thanks! Going to get all this straitened out soon.

I hope...

Haven't watched the video, is it about moobs?

**Kreeper** · 10-15-2015, 01:04 PM

Well, if I had known this before I would have been doing it all along instead of using the camera button.

**JayRodney** · 10-15-2015, 01:17 PM

It wasn't wrong...It's just now coming to light with the phasing out of flash. Now that I've killed flash in my browser, I'm seeing what we need to overcome.

AK... please don't use the camera icon that inserts bbcode!
Just use the url from youtube and take away the S from https. I promise to get this universally sorted out asap, but it's not a big problem just yet.
The web is abandoning flash, Crapple already has, and everyone needs to be made aware it's going the way of geocities and lycos.
My flash player stutters, breaks my browsers etc. I find html5 player far more stable.
Adobe hasn't had their shit in one sock for years.

Helpful Hint...
Hit the Preview rectangle at the bottom of the page when you're done and you can see for yourself if you've created a monster or set it up the way it should look.

Then, and only then should the Post Reply rectangle be activated.

Good advice! It's so easy just to copy the url of the video and remove the s from https.
That way, the videos will show up in the future as well.
Forcing flash through the YouTube embed function or using this current bbcode that the camera icon spits out means blank videos.
Flash is awful, and way past it's prime. Like Java and windows, it's a security nightmare, and causes your browser to crash way more than it should.

html5 is a piece of shït.

a cpu hog.

bad sound.

You either work for Adobe, or are are running a 386 loaded with spyware.

When it comes to running on Linux and Mac OS X, HTML5 excels and it has been shown that HTML5 content outshines Flash by running 58% faster than Flash apps. It has also been shown that Flash is not great for mobile devices and laptops whereas HTML5 takes the lead in these areas. Adobe Flash also consumes more power and is not compatible with a touch screen. Because of this, Flash causes a device to heat up. HTML5 on the other hand is compatible with touch screens and it does not have any issues with any device.

HTML5 is becoming increasingly popular with companies such as emaze and Wix (who have previously featured Flash and have made the change to HTML5) providing easy to use, interactive platforms to create presentations and websites that are beautifully designed with minimum work on the users’ end.

No matter what changes we adapt to, over and over they'll just friggin change again and again and again, ever increasing the imminently inevitable chance of my clenched fist slamming through my computer screen and or grabbing it and hurling it through the wall...

Copy pasting the URL and removing the "s" from https:// is just as easy as that FUBAR embed code.
