Youku video embedding

Postby mrswdk on Tue Mar 18, 2014 11:33 am

Concise description:
  • Youku video embedding

Specifics/Details:
  • The ability to embed Youku videos in posts, similar to the current [Youtube] function.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • Will end the apartheid that excludes China-based users from adding their favorite videos to their posts.
  • Opens up a vast new opportunity for cultural exchange.
  • Greatly increases the range of videos that can be added to forum posts (Western or Asian - Youku has both)

Suggestions generally take a while to wind their way through the system. It's been faster this year than in previous years, but in general I would say a week is not enough. :)

As step one, why don't you talk to some of the other members from China and get them to post here? It helps if there is a show of support for a suggestion.

As step two, talk to some of the people on the Tech Team and get their opinion of the feasibility. That too often helps.

I was actually ready to approve it when I saw it, but I'm not sure if there exists a phpbb mod for this embed code. Googling suggested it might not be difficult though.

I also approve of this, but I don't think we need another button clogging stuff up. Would you be okay with manual support? (i.e. you have to type in [youku][/youku])

Personally I don't mind having to type it in myself, although other users wouldn't be aware that such a function existed. Could you have a drop down box, from which [youtube] and [youku] can be selected?

If that's not possible then I don't really care and am happy with manual support only.

Couldn't the system automatically recognize the link, I mean - only one button "embedd video" and it should wrap it with [video] [/video] tags and embed it. That way you could add support for Vimeo and a few other video service providers...

Is dakky's idea workable?

stupid question: don't they have youtube in hong kong? I would've thought that the chineese internet regulation would be different from the rest of the country in hk?

Oh, the rules in HK are much different than in the mainland. There's a lot on Youku that's not on YouTube, though.

I wonder if embedding Youku videos would increase ConquerClub's presence in China. Embedding YouTube videos increases SEO, but I don't know how baidu handles SEO. CC isn't really built for Chinese language SEO, so I wonder how many users would actually find their way here. It might help, though.

I think the biggest problem with the Chinese market is that RISK isn't a very popular Chinese game.

If we had a mahjong side game, that would probably bring in more people.
