    This is not supported sorry. You cant just put every URL in there, it only takes URLs to iframes and the shortcode creator only extracts them then you post a embed code with <image src="... in there.

    I just made a small test and its actually working in cutting edge Chromium and Firefox.

    [iframe id="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm" mode="normal"]

    Since modern browsers play video in .mp4 .ogg .webm when opened directly without any special <video> markup. This might not the best way to do this but its working for me. Native thumbnails do not work this way, also auto-play seems to be on automatically.

    If your Video is on one of those formats you will have to write the iframe embed code manually this way and you have it working in modern browsers.

    I have no plans on making any special addition for this at this point.

    I am sure there are good reasons for not letting people edit posts after a while but it sucks anyway.

    I meant <iframe src="... and not <image src="... above. Even if technically the detection works on anything with src

    I had some thoughts about this. Maybe I change plans and do something about it and actually detect if a video URL was pasted into the shortcode creator. That would support self hosted Vids better, at least in this limited way.
