Annoyance

I'm not a fan of this new youtube embedding method. It's never inline with the text. It's pretty annoying. Anyone agree? I'd rather the embed be inline than as a thumb on the side. -- Smashman... (ts) 21:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd have to agree. -- En Ex 21:14, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Yep, looked better on the old Wiki, if you look here, it's difficult to get it to look nice. -Firestorm 21:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
And I'm not a fan of the box and description thing. -- Smashman... (ts) 21:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Yep, don't see a point, the page will probably describe it anyway. Perhaps the {{youtube tn}} template has the box but the {{youtube}} one does not -Firestorm 21:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
It does, but I disabled the {{BASEPAGENAME}} description, I felt it unnecessary. Also, SIGN YOUR POSTS BOY. -- Smashman... (ts) 21:25, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Widescreen

With most of the videos being embedded with this template being in 720p, maybe it's time that the embed code was changed to a widescreen player? TheChrisD RantsEdits 20:58, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Old-style embeds

I noticed that this wiki is generating old-style embeds. (Go to a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h42d0WHRSck) and click for the embed links, toggle old-style on and off.) This method forces flash so users never benefit from the HTML5 player. It is really annoying for users that don't have flash (like myself).

If I am correct you are using the embed video plugin from here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo. This uses the new-style embeds so I can only think that the plugin is out of date. Could that be updated? If it can't I could update the template to do all of the same things in a jiffy (seeing as it is youtube only anyway). You can't write a template because you are not allowed to create iframes from wiki pages. The plugin will need to be updated.

Yea we don't have server access and Valve take approximately 2.5 years to update anything wiki-related so don't expect it in the near future! User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 16:38, 22 November 2012 (PST)
I figured it would be something like that  :( How would one let valve know about our hopes and dreams so that in a couple of years we can enjoy the "modern web"  :P Kevincox 16:49, 22 November 2012 (PST)
By the way, if anyone else is having this problem I created a work around via firefox addon. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/youtube-object2iframe/ . I don't know if it bothers anyone else enough to install the addon, but if it does, there is your solution. Kevincox 14:28, 10 December 2012 (PST)

Subtitles

Is there a way to make it automatically select a specific subtitle track?--Henke37 (talk) 09:34, 18 June 2014 (PDT)
