Download V2.6.0 :
Obsolete workarounds for the Vimeo and YouTube embeds have been removed.
Version 2.6.1 change :
An option has been added to display the video's title in the placeholder used when "click-to-load" is enabled.
The option to disable auto-embedding links on a per-site basis has been extended to all media sites.
Twitch has been updated to support new clip URLs.
The add-on's CSS has been split on a per-feature basis to reduce its size when some features are disabled.
A word about adding video titles to the "click-to-load" placeholders. The name of the video is retrieved via oEmbed, using XenForo's oEmbed service. The data is cached in the database according to your oEmbed settings. If the data is already in the database, a single sub-millisecond query is all that's needed to retrieve the title of all the videos on the current page. Otherwise, it is fetched from YouTube's service which is typically fast but can add up to a second to the page loading time, so make sure your oEmbed cache is set to a comfortable value. The default is 7 days but it can be increased to 30 days or more, even indefinitely.
Below are screenshots of a typical YouTube video using the default embed, the click-to-load placeholder with oEmbed enabled, and with oEmbed disabled.
Version 2.6.2 change :
The add-on's CSS has been updated to correctly handle long titles.
The oEmbed logic has been updated to limit the number of concurrent fetches to prevent resource exhaustion. The number of fetches is limited to 1 per page, with a maximum of 3 concurrent fetches across processes.
This is a recommended update if you use the click-to-load feature with oEmbed enabled.

Version 2.6.4 change : Added Kaltura, updated lazy loader
The lazy loader has been updated to load visible elements more aggressively. In previous versions, the lazy loader would wait up to 3 seconds for the rest of the page to completely load before displaying embedded content. Starting with this update, visible (on-screen) elements are loaded immediately and will compete for resources with the rest of the page. This will prevent slow resources such as ads and large images from delaying embedded content.

Updated lazy loader. It may help with dynamically-sized embeds (e.g. tweets) being cut off.
Updated Twitter. Tweets are now slightly wider (550px vs 500px) and should load imperceptibly faster.
A word about embedded tweets. At the time of writing, embedding a text-only tweet using Twitter's default method requires 20+ HTTP requests and 3.5 MB of resources. This update reduces both by approximately 10% and saves about 100 ms on loading time on a fast network. It is unclear why Twitter loads 3.4 MB of JavaScript to display ~140 characters of black-and-white text.

Compatibility with the default media sites installed by XenForo 2.2 has been improved both ways; Most media that were embedded using a default media site work seamlessly after the add-on is installed. Media embedded via this add-on still work if the add-on is uninstalled, provided the media is supported by XenForo's default media sites. The new additions include support for SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube playlists.

For all intents and purposes, this is a URL BB Code that will be automatically be transformed into a YouTube video when viewed in a rich HTML page. However, if the YouTube media site is disabled or if this add-on is disabled, it will be displayed as a normal link, possibly unfurl'ed as per XenForo's configuration.
This feature is quite new and there may be unforeseen side-effects so please report any issues in the discussion thread.

Version 2.7.3 Fixed a PHP error on posting : This is a recommended upgrade if you're running 2.7.0 or later.
Download V2.7.3 :
Version 2.7.4 Changed the way line breaks are handled :
The handling of line breaks around media embeds has been changed to match the text layout more closely and be more consistent with XenForo's default media sites:
When two BBCodes are on the same line, the two embeds are on the same line.
When two BBCodes are on consecutive lines, the two embeds are on consecutive lines.
When two BBCodes are separated by a blank line, the two embeds are separated by a blank line.
The default behaviour in XenForo is similar, with the difference that it is not possible to have two embeds on the same line using XenForo's default media sites. The technical implementation is different though: while XenForo uses block elements and removes line breaks around media embeds, this add-on uses inline blocks and does not remove line breaks after its embeds.
You can tweak the layout of this add-on's embeds in CSS via your extra.less template. For example, you can force this add-on's embeds to be displayed as block elements using the following snippet :

Guzzle is a PHP library used by XenForo to retrieve data from external sources. This add-on uses native cURL calls for the same purpose. If this means anything to you and you want this add-on to use the same Guzzle client as XenForo, you can add the following to your config.php file :
Future versions of this add-on may default to using Guzzle if it proves beneficial.

The default value is fine for the overwhelming majority of users so you don't have to care about it unless you use a special configuration for your network, in which case you should select the default XenForo client. Disabling scraping may prevent some content from being embedded.
- The current default is to use native cURL calls because XenForo's client (Guzzle) does not seem support HTTP/2 at the moment. Future versions will eventually switch to use Guzzle, and the option will be removed.

Version 2.12.3 Minor Quality of Life improvement to the lazy loader :
This is a minor improvement to the lazy loader that only concerns dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets or Reddit posts.

As of January 1st, 2024, Amazon has discontinued their Product Link widget. That's the little snippet that shows the product with its name and its current price, which this add-on used. There is no replacement planned and therefore Amazon will be removed from this add-on at some point in the future. I will publish the cutoff date beforehand, with more time to react than Amazon gave their own associates.
For now, I have replaced all Amazon embeds with a text link so that you don't end up with a blank space where the Amazon product widget was.

Users can still embed third-party content by using the "Insert media" tool in the editor.

You must be registered for see links
Obsolete workarounds for the Vimeo and YouTube embeds have been removed.
Version 2.6.1 change :
An option has been added to display the video's title in the placeholder used when "click-to-load" is enabled.
The option to disable auto-embedding links on a per-site basis has been extended to all media sites.
Twitch has been updated to support new clip URLs.
The add-on's CSS has been split on a per-feature basis to reduce its size when some features are disabled.
A word about adding video titles to the "click-to-load" placeholders. The name of the video is retrieved via oEmbed, using XenForo's oEmbed service. The data is cached in the database according to your oEmbed settings. If the data is already in the database, a single sub-millisecond query is all that's needed to retrieve the title of all the videos on the current page. Otherwise, it is fetched from YouTube's service which is typically fast but can add up to a second to the page loading time, so make sure your oEmbed cache is set to a comfortable value. The default is 7 days but it can be increased to 30 days or more, even indefinitely.
Below are screenshots of a typical YouTube video using the default embed, the click-to-load placeholder with oEmbed enabled, and with oEmbed disabled.
Version 2.6.2 change :
The add-on's CSS has been updated to correctly handle long titles.
The oEmbed logic has been updated to limit the number of concurrent fetches to prevent resource exhaustion. The number of fetches is limited to 1 per page, with a maximum of 3 concurrent fetches across processes.
This is a recommended update if you use the click-to-load feature with oEmbed enabled.

Version 2.6.4 change : Added Kaltura, updated lazy loader
The lazy loader has been updated to load visible elements more aggressively. In previous versions, the lazy loader would wait up to 3 seconds for the rest of the page to completely load before displaying embedded content. Starting with this update, visible (on-screen) elements are loaded immediately and will compete for resources with the rest of the page. This will prevent slow resources such as ads and large images from delaying embedded content.

A word about embedded tweets. At the time of writing, embedding a text-only tweet using Twitter's default method requires 20+ HTTP requests and 3.5 MB of resources. This update reduces both by approximately 10% and saves about 100 ms on loading time on a fast network. It is unclear why Twitter loads 3.4 MB of JavaScript to display ~140 characters of black-and-white text.

Version 2.7.0 Added support for custom URL fallback :
This update contains a new feature that you will find in the add-on's option or the "Media embedding" section of your admin panel. It will add a selector that will affect how embedding media works. You will get to choose between the regular
[MEDIA] tag (which is the default position) or a customized [URL] with a media attribute. Here is an example of such a custom tag :
Code:
[URL unfurl="true" media="youtube:QH2-TGUlwu4"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4[/URL]For all intents and purposes, this is a URL BB Code that will be automatically be transformed into a YouTube video when viewed in a rich HTML page. However, if the YouTube media site is disabled or if this add-on is disabled, it will be displayed as a normal link, possibly unfurl'ed as per XenForo's configuration.
This feature is quite new and there may be unforeseen side-effects so please report any issues in the discussion thread.

Version 2.7.4 Changed the way line breaks are handled :
The handling of line breaks around media embeds has been changed to match the text layout more closely and be more consistent with XenForo's default media sites:
When two BBCodes are on the same line, the two embeds are on the same line.
When two BBCodes are on consecutive lines, the two embeds are on consecutive lines.
When two BBCodes are separated by a blank line, the two embeds are separated by a blank line.
The default behaviour in XenForo is similar, with the difference that it is not possible to have two embeds on the same line using XenForo's default media sites. The technical implementation is different though: while XenForo uses block elements and removes line breaks around media embeds, this add-on uses inline blocks and does not remove line breaks after its embeds.
You can tweak the layout of this add-on's embeds in CSS via your extra.less template. For example, you can force this add-on's embeds to be displayed as block elements using the following snippet :

Version 2.7.11 Lazy loader improvements :
A number of improvements have been made to the lazy loader. The goal is to generally improve efficiency and make dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets as nondisruptive as possible.
- The size of dynamically-sized embeds (e.g. tweets) is cached locally in the browser. This will improve the user experience on repeat viewing or when the same embed is shown multiple times on a page.
- Visible embeds are loaded as soon as possible. Previously, the lazy loader waited a tiny fraction of time (32 ms) before checking for visible embeds while the page is loading. Combined with the aforementioned caching, it can reduce and even eliminate
You must be registered for see links.
- The visibility of all embeds in collapsed quotes is now checked to determine whether they should be loaded. Previously this only applied to regular-sized embeds such as YouTube videos, and has now been extended to all embeds. This means that an embedded tweet in a collapsed quote is not loaded unless it is at least partially visible.

Version 2.12.0 Added web scraping selector :
- An option has been added to select how scraping is performed; It has four options: auto (default), native cURL calls, XenForo's client (Guzzle), or disabled. The default value is fine for the overwhelming majority of users so you don't have to care about it unless you use a special configuration for your network, in which case you should select the default XenForo client. Disabling scraping may prevent some content from being embedded.
- The current default is to use native cURL calls because XenForo's client (Guzzle) does not seem support HTTP/2 at the moment. Future versions will eventually switch to use Guzzle, and the option will be removed.
- In addition, defunct site Gfycat has been removed from the add-on and Facebook has been updated to support more video URLs.

Version 2.12.3 Minor Quality of Life improvement to the lazy loader :
This is a minor improvement to the lazy loader that only concerns dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets or Reddit posts.
The way dynamically-sized embeds work is that the content provider loads the embedded content then notifies the host page of the size it should be displayed as. This add-on usually acts as a middleman and caches this value for later viewings to reduce/eliminate
You must be registered for see links
. Some content providers (most notably, 𝕏) are too eager to declare the size of their content, before their own images are fully loaded. This leads the add-on's lazy loader to create a placeholder of the correct size for the embedded content (e.g. tweet), then shrink it as the content provider incorrectly notifies that its content is smaller than expected, only to grow it back to the correct size once all content has loaded.In this update, the lazy loader has been changed to provide a grace period before shrinking an embed. They still grow as soon as a new size has been determined, but they'll wait a little bit (5 seconds currently) before they shrink.

This update makes use of contemporary JavaScript features to replace boilerplate code with native JavaScript features such as

I do not expect those changes to be noticeable or produce undesirable side effects.An upcoming update will feature some more fundamental changes intended to improve the experience of the most observant users as well as users with slow connections (e.g. mobile.) That upcoming update will have a greater potential to introduce unintended side-effects, and if that's the case it will be easier to diagnose them separately.

Version 2.13.0 Updated Amazon, Bandcamp.
Read this is you're an Amazon associate As of January 1st, 2024, Amazon has discontinued their Product Link widget. That's the little snippet that shows the product with its name and its current price, which this add-on used. There is no replacement planned and therefore Amazon will be removed from this add-on at some point in the future. I will publish the cutoff date beforehand, with more time to react than Amazon gave their own associates.
For now, I have replaced all Amazon embeds with a text link so that you don't end up with a blank space where the Amazon product widget was. If you have configured an associate ID, it will be added to the link as well. Consider this a temporary fix, so you should start considering an alternative if affiliate links are an important feature to you. I have tried

Other miscellaneous changes include:
- Bits and options related to the now-defunct Amazon embeds have been removed. The temporary Amazon media site is still present and associate tags are still handled. There should be no functional change compared to previous version.
- The requirements have been officially bumped to XenForo 2.2, as I don't think anybody is running XenForo 2.1 on PHP 8.0.
- The
