Size options for embedded videos

[Dolan]

Can we get some options on the video BBcode tag, so we can embed video players on a smaller size? Because right now pages with lots of videos take ages to load, and it might have something to do with youtube videos being embedded only in a maximum size format. I'm sure it's not my internet, since I have 1Gbps download. Unless it's the youtube servers that take time to preload those video posters.

@Gendarme is currently messing with this, you can give a parameter to the video tag like video=500

it's in px right now, not sure whether that's final.

If you have them inside a spoiler they break. Not sure why, but for now don't use them with spoilers. They are supposed to be percentages, not px. Here's a copy paste of Eagle's above videos without a spoiler:

I was aware of the options on the [youtube] tag, but you guys said it was just a temporary tag, that was meant to be used for something specific. Wasn't sure if it's going to survive for much longer.

That's why I asked about the [video] tag. Maybe you should add the syntax cues in that tooltip you get when you hover the buttons.

Why were these tags removed? Does everyone like having one screen full of video embeds on large monitors? Why not allow some size customisation?

Do you think this post looks cool?
