Nice! How about soundcloud and the likes? Seems there is a plugin which is compatible with SMF 2.1.1

Ah, yes I can, but it will conflict with the current YT embedding solution. I'll look into it - had forgotten we actually have quite a few Soundcloud links here...

[Gryzor]

Actually wait, this should already work...

...and yet it doesn't. See, we're already using that mod But Soundcloud doesn't work, so I'll dig into their discussions and see if anything comes up.

So yeah, that's not good at all. Apparently the only way to embed it nowadays is if you take the "share/embed" code from a SC track, which looks like this:

Code Select Expand

<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/743030335&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe><div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/joemcalby_zx" title="McAlby_ZX" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">McAlby_ZX</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/joemcalby_zx/sokoban-melancolia" title="Sokoban Perfect - Melancolía (AY-3-8912 ZX Spectrum 128 / Amstrad CPC / MSX , 1991, unreleased)" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Sokoban Perfect - Melancolía (AY-3-8912 ZX Spectrum 128 / Amstrad CPC / MSX , 1991, unreleased)</a></div>
Then you take the "src" part, decode the %3A to ':' and paste it here, so it becomes

Code Select Expand

...et voilà!

...et voilà!

Great trick, thanks for the hint!

Not really that great, can't expect people to look it up every time...
