As I said WAY before, when I click the share button on YouTube I don't get a 'code' or 'imbed' option. .
Just a 'copy link' or the regular-< options to text messages or people in my contacts. (this is vanilla Android 13)

I'll go look when I get cleaned up.

Jim,

There are at least two different views of Youtube videos. If I click "share" on an embedded video, like those in this thread, I don't get an option for getting the embed code. But if I click the Youtube link or the "Watch it on Youtube" link on one of the ones in this thread and then click "share" I do get the option for getting the embed code.

The left pic is what I get when clicking share on an embedded video, and the right one is what I get by clicking Youtube and then share.

This is how YouTube looks on my browser. I don't use the "copy" button:
1- Share button
2- Embed button. There I can copy the iFrame code.

Steve/FoxFord33 checked out the video today on his Android and it worked fine. The full screen button worked correctly in both landscape and portrait, and the banner didn't obstruct the view.

Good news!

So, here is an example of your recipe, Gary. Is it ok?

Jeff - Sorry for the late reply. I saw this and meant to reply - but forgot.

Yes, that's exactly right. Let me go work on a page to post that.

As I'm looking at updating the page at Bullnose Forum/Bullnose Forum FAQ's I thought I ought to try to use the Embed tab in the toolbar on posts. Here's your Shafer Trail video, Jeff, using just that tab w/o the fancy HTML tricks. I just clicked Embed and then Embed Tags and pasted the Youtube embed code between the code that was generated. Didn't even tick the Message is in HTML Format box.

Jeff - I've finally added the instructions on how to embed a Youtube video in fullscreen mode to the page at Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's. Go to the Embedding tab, then the Embedding tab, then the HTML Tags tab, and then the Embedng A Youtube tab.

Would you please go there and see if my instructions make sense?

Gary, that's exactly the recipe I can understand and apply.

«If clear for Jeff, good for all».

However, I have a suggestion. Keep in mind that not everyone navigates on the Forum from a big screen. I mostly go from my iPhone, and I'm probably not the only one...

From a computer, your instructions appear like this:

So, it makes sense when you write "The code to the right..."
It appears on the right.

But from a narrow screen, such a phone, your instructions appear this way:

Now, what's supposed to appear "on the right" goes in fact to the page bottom.

Not a big deal, we understand that the page doesn't appear as it should on a “normal” screen, when read on our phone screen.
But it would be easier to follow if you just add a short phrase before the final expected result.
Something like "The modified embedded YouTube code should look like this:"

The page could appear like this, on a computer:

and on a narrow phone:

Thanks, Jeff. Both for checking and the suggestions. I'll see what I can do.

However, does the screen still behave that way if you turn your phone landscape? Mine goes from the narrow look you posted to the same look I have on my tablet or desktop. But maybe that's just my phone?

On my iPhone 13 Mini, portait:

And if flipped in landscape, it gives just a “zoomed” view of the vertical one (and I cannot unzoom):

Ok, you win. I'll go see what I can do to make it read better. Thanks again.

By the way, I think the 3G harness is done. I know you don't plan to install it until it warms up, but have you thought about starting a thread on Big Bro's 3G upgrade? Discuss what alternator, brackets, etc?

Now I've changed it and it seems to work on my iPhone in portrait mode. Please see if it works for you.

Simply perfect!

Any dummy as Jeff can now post a YouTube link with success!

Good idea.

Should I add a new topic in Projects/Big Brother’s transformation thread?
Or just start a specific thread for this 1G to 3G upgrade?
What do you think?

I would put the thread in the main section. But that's just me. You want the maximum coverage, but if Jim doesn't chime in early on we'll tag him. He'd the guru on alternators.

I'm no guru but let me go look for the question...

I just said that I can see a pimple on the butt of a fly a block away but not the gorilla in the same room.

What is it about alternators you need from me?

Jeff is going to start a thread to discuss his upcoming 3G conversion on Big Bro. I have a plug & play harness I'll ship him and he plans to send an ammeter he has to Rocketman. But he'll also need an alternator and I was suggesting we get you involved. Which size/amperage, which application, which vendor, which regulator, etc.

But I don't think he's started it yet.

Re: Big GIF, short movie

It depends on what he needs from it.
With his insistence on 'originality' I'm not sure why he wants one.

???°

I obviously was following the harness build and took part in the "which inverter for a 1G" thread where you insist that 1G are at most 60A even though there are literally photos of 70/100A 1G's I've responded to here on the forum.

So, definitely tag me when you start a thread.
I'll toss my 2c in the pot.
