Youtube embedded posts?


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if this needed to be updated to support the new Youtube video scale format (16:9). Anything posted using the [ youtube ] tag automatically seems to get scaled to 4:3.

Just a suggestion. :)

Embed code still uses a 4:3 player (their code, not ours) but it will just letterbox widescreen content.

Could we get the widescreen player?, the new size is 855*505 (compared to whatever it was before)

When it was first released it didn't let you just change the height/width (Flash letterboxed it) but if they've released an update there I'll look into it. However I won't be automatically adding the whole &fmt=22 prefix in order to force full res, as for many users with slower connections it's just not practical
