yes nice banner lol.

@horseplay Sorry about that, it must have rendered fine for me because I had it cached from viewing it a few times in testing. Was way too HD for it's needs.
@NotSure I have it showing on categories but also when landing on owforum.co.uk.
Glad it's looks nice :)

YOUTUBE EMBEDS WORK NOW :D :D :D :D
Simply copy the YT URL into the post and it will embed the video in it's place.
Videos will also play in the embed rather than redirect off platform so you don't need to faff around with tabs.Example below :)

@lia example test
" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="XR's got what plants crave!

@notsure Don't need any of the embed code, just the link :)

Plugin uses iframes for embedding which is a bit taxing once a handful are present on the page. So much so that the "Share your float playlist <3" thread is extremely slow to load.
Timestamping also seems to get ignored so will see if I can get that to be retained.
The embed script is configurable so I might see if I can have it render differently. Will test when it's quiet on the platform. Shouldn't require a reboot but I tend to avoid live changes like that anyway.

@notsure Don't worry about doing anything to it, I'll find a way to make it nice. Wouldn't want to undo all that effort you put in :)

Added lazy loading into the iframes so they shouldn't all try to load the moment the page is touched.

Unable to modify the regex to understand the extra length of timestamp code or playlists at the end. Mostly since it's written in a way I can't parse, below is that is there currently if anyone's interested.
Regex
(?:<a.*?)?(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com\/(?!user|channel)\S*(?:(?:\/e(?:mbed))?\/|watch\?(?:\S*?&?v\=))|youtu\.be\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{6,11})(?:.*?\/a>)?Replace
<div class='embed-wrapper'><div class='embed-container'><iframe src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/$1' loading='lazy' class='lazyload' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div>Tried modifying what appears to be the bit that checks the bit after "V=" but it seems to brick the plugin when I add bits.
([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{6,11})Wanted to add "?" and "=" but those stop it working even if I try to escape the characters. Modifying the character length "6,11" doesn't break it but also doesn't do much if I can't get the extra chunk of URL to be read.
.
Stuck with iframes since they're the only good way to embed a video after a bit of research. If this plugin does make things a pain or slows certain threads down let me know and I'll remove it.

@notsure Oh god no wonder I was struggling regex is a nightmare!
Thought I had it but adding an extra match for the timestamps causes the output to duplicate D:(?:<a.*?)?(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com\/(?!user|channel)\S*(?:(?:\/e(?:mbed))?\/|watch\?(?:\S*?&?v\=))|youtu\.be\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_?&=-]{6,11})|(?:\?t=)([a-zA-Z0-9_?&=-]{1,4})(?:.*?\/a>)?Going to spend a bit more time looking at that, thanks for that tool though, super useful!
