Anyone know where to find a plugin that automatically embeds videos based on their links?

ie. Post a youtube URL and bam it’s automatically embedded for you?

On the old standalone bbPress 1.x this one was great: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbvideo/

I cannot find anything like it for use with bbPress 2.0

Thank you!

My post toolbar plugin handles youtube by way of shortcode [youtube]link[/youtube].

I also will have the same problem when I upgrade my site in that the old posts will just be links to the video, rather than embedding them. Personally I don’t see a problem here though

PS: I’m thinking of having it check for youtube links that are not inside the shortcode, also. But I’ll get to that when I can be bothered.

Would not be difficult to turn on WordPress’s existing oEmbed functionality.

Could also tap into Jetpack’s way of embedding videos I suppose?

Yep. They are just posts, after all.
