The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
It should be possible to make a single BBcode that works for all sorts of youtube URLs, using a system similar to what I experimented with bandcamp there, i.e. with a call to an intermediate script that analyzes the URL and extract the relevant data.
I definitely appreciate that having these scripts could work better for the board. The only problem is that I don't have SSH or FTP access to the server, to be able to upload the PHP scripts. I'm only working within the confines of moderator, so I can only add BBCodes that work internally to PHPBB.
I could ask the admins to action the uploads, but they are busy people, and if anything needs changing and tweaking constantly, it'd be a pain in the ass for all involved.
Anyway I appreciate your input, man.
