Thanks for that information. phpBB also has a feature that allows creation of new BBCodes. You basically give it the format of the user entry (with some optional variables) along with the HTML that should be substituted when that section is rendered in a browser (which can use those variables). You can see what it produces by using your browser's "Show Source" option. The embedded video in the HTML file should look something like this:

<iframe title="Rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v4aktz6/?pub=4" 
width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


That was produced with a user entry of:    [rumble]v4aktz6[/rumble]

I like doing it that way so I don't have to use third party "add ons" in our forum (beyond the basic phpBB).

I like low resolution settings for embedding since I believe they should load faster. Our forum defaults to 10 posts per page. If each of those posts has a few videos, the loading can be very slow. So lower resolution is fine. I figure if anyone wants to see a video in higher resolution, they can enlarge it or go to the source.

Thanks for all of your contributions to our forum!!      :thumbup: :clap: :wave:

Here is my glider movie for the Columbus Day 2023 Fly In.

Rumble's video player defaults to 480p. Use Settings to select 1440 or 1080.

Best to watch on a computer screen or cast to TV.

That won't work to get the real resolution. On the site or an embed, it won't be 1440p or 1080p it will be 480p enlarged. To get the real resolution you must use Settings. I've complained about the low default to Rumble but they have no intention of changing it.

Nice Film, Finis!!

I liked the high tech road grading equipment used there!

It was sad to see no hang gliders flying, but I'm glad the PG folks had a good time and are keeping it going!

Rumble must be changing something because the older versions still work. Here's the code from the earlier video:

       [rumble]v4aktz6[/rumble]

It still works:



I'm wondering if it has something to do with it being part of a Rumble playlist? Or maybe they just changed the way new videos are embedded. Any ideas?

You all just tuning in go back a post or two or how many and watch my latest movie.

Thanks Bob. I miss the hang gliders too ... and the hang glider folks.

All glider videos are in that playlist.

Ah Ha! I see that the embed methods, from the Embed button under a video, have different links than the URL in the address bar. My new video is https://rumble.com/v6ehttv-columbus-day ... -2023.html in the address bar but uses v6c9et1 for iframe and javascript. So to embed Rumble videos here use the ID from the Iframe embed not the one from the URL.

Trying the rumble button here with the embed ID for the new new video ... success! I edited and cleaned up that earlier post.
