I'm posting this thread since I've seen some problems with newcomers and Soundcloud or Youtube embedding.
Soundcloud embedding:
There are two ways to embed your tracks from soundcloud: you can embed one specific track
or you can embed a soundcloud player that automatically shows your latest track.
To embed a specific track is fairly simple, just put the track's URL between the soundcloud tags like in this example
- Code: Select all
[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/vikt0r/brainwave[/soundcloud]
The output:
http://soundcloud.com/vikt0r/brainwave
Always make sure you put the track's URL and not your soundcloud page's URL
You can also make a soundcloud player appear that always shows your latest track and when it's done playing it'll start playing the next one and so on...
To do that you simply have to put your soundcloud page's URL between the tags, example:
- Code: Select all
[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/vikt0r[/soundcloud]
The output:
http://soundcloud.com/vikt0r
You can also do this with a set instead of all your tracks, just use the set's URL instead.
The method above is very handy for your signature (click User Control Panel —> Profile —> Signature to edit your signature)
so you don't have to update it every time you uploaded a new track, that's one minute more for making music!
Youtube embedding:
Youtube embedding is a bit tricky to find out but once you've got it it's easy.
To embed a video from youtube simply go to the video and look at it's url:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js926jRlUEg&feature=related
And copy everything after the watch?v= to the end or before the & if there is one, for this URL that is:
Js926jRlUEg
Now that's the youtube video's ID, put it between the youtube tags:
- Code: Select all
[youtube]Js926jRlUEg[/youtube]
And voila:
