Tech Tip: YouTube & Bebo - update
Ok, so the instructions for getting a YouTube video for a Bebo flashbox stopped working. This is because YouTube changed the way their videos play. A possible reason for this is the rate at which they're spending their startup capital...
The new way to get a link that works is to view the video on YouTube. Select the text from the box which says 'Embeddable Player'. Copy and paste this into a text editor (Notepad, Word etc). Then copy the website link, it'll look something like this
http://www.youtube.com/v/dsX3zSfktQI
Paste the link into your browser (internet explorer, or if you're cooler, firefox) and hit enter. Then copy the address that comes up once the video starts to play. That's the swf url that bebo are looking for.
The link should look something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=dsX3zSfktQI&eurl=&iurl=http%3A//stati

Any problems with this method, feel free to leave a comment.

There a way to change the size or the autoplay no?
I discovered that if you change the p.swf to player.swf then you get the "traditional" player. Also, by changing it to player2.swf you get YouTube's new player.

This doesn't work very well...
It works for about 15 minutes and then when I try loading it again it won't load...
I'm not sure if this is just me but it is really starting to irritate me now

Can you make the Video Big or put it on autoplay????

"Went will you answer us???"
I'm currently studying for my finals. I won't be updating this blog further until they are over.
If you need a flashbox that badly on your bebo account, learn how to transfer the video to newEgg, the people who Bebo have an agreement with to provide video. Or google it further.
Works perfectly thanks for the info,Good luck with your finals man.
Good work once again! Cheers! Best of luck with the exams (I feel your pain!!)
This method doesn't last very long.
It stops working after a day or so. Can you help me out please?
svi checked out your bebo page to see your video working but it doesn't, i know your doing exams, and by looking at your bebo page your piss off from people asking about flash boxes. but is there any other ways to get videos from youtube?????
Good luck in your exams.
