Thanks to Houdini for telling me how to do this

You can embed a little movie player into TG forums

In my tests this;
  • works with youtube
  • works with files uploaded to TG webspace
  • does not work with googlevideo
  • does not work with filefront (even when there is a streamed video)
  • does not work with putfile

Works with youtube

Just use [media] tags like you would [url] or [img]:

eg
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0RWXobF7zI[/media*]
(I put *] at the end so it would not activate, to activate take out the *, eg media] )
produces the player directly below

You can right click, then 'zoom', then 'full screen'
