Something that would be helpful is if the script scans URL's as the page changes, like in Twitter or Facebook.

I second Soulous' idea.

EDIT: Ow, I just looked in the options. You can do that if you change the mode from "auto" to one of the other two. Sorry...

I think something helpful, especially on pages with lots of videos, would be a small tag next to the video URL that would only show that video when clicked. I'm pretty sure this is possible as I have seen it in other scripts.

It would be nice if you could have a filter to turn it off from working on some pages. For example, I have the Twitter search results at Google.com script installed and when a video is linked that script is broken. Or at Reddit.com I may not want the videos embedded.

Would this be possible?

Great stuff there Psychederic and the others.
After updating VE to the latest suggestions / bug reports, I will work on "other 'web 3.0' stuff" as well.

Maybe you can think about a way of putting informations on links ( a second "href"/"src" that can be used with the script ) or even "semantic informations", directly on links for instance :

a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMVTKOoy1uk" tag="Prodigy - Omen"
embedmap="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&abau..."
embedmusic="http://basementbeatz.files.wordpress.com/2009/0..."
embedwiki="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prodigy"

This is web 3.0, "semantic" integration of data from other site.

You can extend the concept to images, mp3... music information, geoposition Map (google map?), and maybe some "keyword/tag" in pages corresponding to wikipedia. ( not so many site uses rdf files, semantic definition for their sites, and I don't think it is the best way, because it means a lot of work for the "webmasters /devellopers").

The web 3.0 should be done automatically, and what has been donne with videoembed is a good way to begin.

Maybe you can think about a way of putting informations on links ( a second "href"/"src" that can be used with the script ) or even "semantic informations", directly on links for instance :

I suggest you to let the choice of a less agressive way of putting code in pages, maybe in a

that appears "onmouseover".

Hello, Thank you very much for all of your comments and suggestions, they are great.
I am going to make a new version, but I'm afraid I cannot do that within these weeks, I have to focus on my university work, courseworks and exams.
When summer comes, I will be able to use as much time as I can to get the new version up!

Videoembed : Web 3.0

You know what, i think this script, and the concept is great,

Do you understand the potential ?

if the code could work on any website, and i mean that it is integrate in pages, then that mean less database memory, less cpu, less overall ressources used ( in server side, the ressources are somehow shared with the visitor why not ?).

And in a way, the page is loaded faster.

( if there is only one or two video per page or article if it is a blog, and if choose a few video site : the script/concept should work on any computer)

First thing to do :
Make a new branch,
Change one or two thing in the code in order to make it run on page load.
Internet explorer compatibility (http://www.gm4ie.com/ i didn't check)

I think you can possibly post the code on google ajax api ( in that case the script could be included on page and it will download the script from google ....)

I am using on old version of videoembed on my website, and that rocks !

@Psychederic and @jfty.009260 Not a bad ideas. I don't think this code is built for that, but a derived form of it might allow that. I may look into it later.

Thanks, but that doesn't work as a replacement.

do you mean to say this should also be added in?

In which case the combination of yours and mine would have (swf|video) and look like this:

{ n:'Dailymotion', l:'^http:\/\/([a-zA-Z0-9]+\.|)dailymotion\.com\/(swf|video)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)*', args:[ ['match','/swf/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)',1], ], width:420, height:339, embed:'http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{0}', },

With the excludes of:

// @exclude http://*.dailymotion.* // @exclude http://dailymotion.*

Thanks!

JUst a suggestion,

Could be great and simple if video embedded script can embedded also swf, avi , mpg, ogg, and other video files.

Well why not ? And if you really find this idea stupid, let say it could be usefull, and maybe you can create a checkbox in the options to enable/disable it.

Psychederic — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:13:41 +0000

Well there is also dailymotion's video permalink :

{ n:'Dailymotion', l:'^http:\/\/([a-zA-Z0-9]+\.|)dailymotion\.com\/swf\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)*', args:[ ['match','/swf/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)',1], ], width:420, height:339, embed:'http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{0}', },

Here is the code for to add Dailymotion.com support:

Look at at newer posts for updated code. { n:'Dailymotion', l:'^http:\/\/([a-zA-Z0-9]+\.|)dailymotion\.com\/video\/x([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)*', args:[ ['match','/video/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)',1], ], width:420, height:339, embed:'http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{0}', },

You might also want to add these excludes:
// @exclude http://*.dailymotion.* // @exclude http://dailymotion.*

If there's a Videoembed, why shouldn't there be an Imageembed? Instead of just videos, make the script be able to place images, as well, inline.

Ive actually been using the lightbox option so it doesn't require loading a new page to view a video basically every video when clicked pops into the lightbox, i understand this use is not what this particular script is made for although it does it great besides the fact that it inserts the lightbulb for every single link, throwing the page out of whack... this is a big time saver on say youtube search results, etc, how hard would it be to tweak it to where it would only insert once per video url/id ?

Hmm the userscript shouldn't work on collegehumor.com domain...
Because on such domains the videos are linked many times, etc.
Well, I will take a look when I can.

Is there a way to limit the script to on apply itself once per video, on collegehumor.com/videos i get four light bulbs which throws the page out of whack... ive been using a second script to remove the div's that link to to videos so they show less but its a lot of work.

I've noticed that on pages that have links to tons of videos -- like, in the neighborhood of four of five dozen or more, as some blogs are prone to have -- the page can get pretty chuggy. It's probably because the browser is trying to embed dozens and dozens of videos, and it's putting a strain on the computer's resources.

A way around that might be to create two separate Videoembed scripts; a "Videoembed Unlimited" for power-users that embeds all of the videos; and a "Videoembed-20" for older systems that stops once it's reached twenty on a page.

And me again. Now I know what it was:
If I put Videoembed before Googlemonkeyr in the Greasemonkey List, it stops working.
Obviously Googlemonkeyr has to do its job first for both of them to work.

Sorry. False alarm. Kind of.
I reinstalled older version -> Script worked again.
Then I installed the new version again. Now this one works too. Very strange.

Since the last update Videoembed doesn't work anymore with the Googlemonkeyr-Script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9310)
It definitely worked before, so it must be something you changed.
