Reddit Embed Question

[Willow]

Hello,

Reddit offers an embed function on their posts (for videos and images). It seems it doesn't work with BBCode. Is there a way to get it to work with either a plugin or perhaps something I am missing? 

Thanks!

[Scott]

Willow -

Can you point me to a post where you're trying to embed, or share the embed link you are using (put it within code tag please)?

Ok below is the actual embed code they give via the "share" feature.

<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" data-embed-height="740"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1d2a7ug/in_australia_geese_dont_even_rate_on_the_scary/">In Australia, geese don’t even rate on the ‘scary animals’ list.</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Rd28T/">u/Rd28T</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/">funny</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
Here is a link to the actual post

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1d2a7ug/in_australia_geese_dont_even_rate_on_the_scary/

If I do a right click and "copy video link" and post it that was I get an error "No video with supported format and MIME type found error".

Maybe this plugin may work for you: Auto-Embed Links

Thank you Scott I will try it and let you know.

This used to not be an issue but they recently changed their format.

• With Plugin:

  • 

  • 
    *Reddit post is embedded in Proboards post but is only an image not a playable video<img src="https://external-preview.redd.it/in-australia-geese-dont-even-rate-on-the-scary-animals-list-v0-ZTNrdzFtaXA4MzNkMQFK9m3NTQW1ZQVN6efiosMN_IWBxhW_BiOVSdcq6rzM.png?width=640&crop=smart&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f0b9bae2e869980974d2ebf0f98dd94d4eea3ee">

  
  
  

• Without Plugin

  
  Add a .webm to the end of the URL so Proboards can detect it as a WEBM file
