hey there,

I've tried everything - even disabling HTML filters for the input format. I'm writing links to youtube videos with rel="lightvideo" and it just won't work. I don't know what could that be. I even tried copying and pasting links from example tutorials but that didn't go so well.

any thoughts? are these tutorials still good? aren't they outdated?

cheers,
Luciano

they're not outdated. Ensure that you have lightvideo support enabled on admin/settings/lightbox2.

coudn't find it on that page. closest thing was "Enable video support" but with a custom FLV player. what I wanted to do was display youtube videos in a lightbox. did I assume the module could do it when it can't?

I have been wrestling with this for awhile. The problem is that you cannot check the option to support video unless you have a path to a valid flvplayer. Even though you aren't going to be using it, I still had to give a path to one. I have swftools installed so I directed it to the generic player there and it works now, or rather it now lets me check to add video support and works. From what i can tell it is not using the generic player at all, you may be able to get away with making a phony file named whatever.swf and it will validate the form and let you enable video support so you can use youtube videos.

That's exactly what I did. I just created a dummy swf file and then it worked perfectly.
