Embedding YouKu Videos on MCM

Hey Gang!

Thanks to Felix's sweet post and Video about Amphibious Sidecars, I rigged up a custom link to embed YouKu videos into MCM.

Instructions are basically identical to the the YouTube button. Basically all you do is put the video's unique identifier between two Youku tages and it should be embedded just like Youtube, Viddler or Vimeo. Steps follow with sample...

1) Hit the http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/im...uku-button.gif button in your editor and the YouKu tags will appear
2) Insert your unique YouKu video identifier number BETWEEN the tags. ID numbers look like "XMTYxMjAxOTUy" and can be copied form the video's URL.
3) Preview your post to make sure it looks right and Submit the thread/post if it's all good!

Sample below...



Hope this helps!

Thanks for that CC. Hopefully i'll have more videos to put up this way in the future.

How is the streaming speed for youku in the states? In china it takes about 3 secs to load fully.

It's not bad. Takes a few seconds for it to come up but once it's loaded it's alright. A longer clip may take more time but it seems to work okay! At least they haven't blocked the outgoing streams!
