    Since starting my nodebb forum I had many attempts at installing a player to show youtube inline rather than redirecting to youtube page.
    it would have been great if there was one listed in the searchable plugins but as there wasnt, I found one on github
    ns-embed
    I installed it from CLI, but it doesn’t do anything.
    Does anyone know why that might be?
    Im curious if this site has embedded video, so trying

    Edit: it works, which plugin is used?

  • @phenomlab yes, youtube links still not showing inline
    Where do I find that rules page to accept?

    @eveh It is in fact nodebb-plugin-ns-embed. If you install this, out of the box, it should work - or you can try the below

    c31b4450-1020-4320-8b7f-e617b2b4d604-image.png

    Does this not work for you ?

    @phenomlab
    i did

    npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-embed
    

    in the terminal
    Nothing happened (after rebuid and restart of forum)
    The box you show above, where should I have seen that?

    I never saw anything giving me the option to use default rules

    @eveh After you install any plugin, it has to be activated. Check /admin/extend/plugins#deactive, activate it, then rebuild and restart.

    Is this from the terminal. If I go to nodebb directory there is no admin directory below that?
    If you mean go on the forum admin to Extend>plugins, that NS player is not in the list still

    Does it appear under the “inactive” tab ?
