Default Posting embedded YouTube video HOWTO

To post a YouTube video it couldn't be easier. Simple copy the youtube video address URL into your post. No tags are required.

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfh4Mhp-a6U"

Gets you:[media]rfh4Mhp-a6U [/media]

Just make sure it's either at the start of a line and/or there is space on either side. My quoted example above doesn't show the video because I wrapped it in quotes ie not spaces. If I removed the quotes it would render the video.

Found a problem - it cannot parse underscores properly.

For example "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNU_Tixwvjc" becomes "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNU"
