Embed Nicovideo

Currently links to nicovideo runs do not embed onto the site when you click on a run's video link. I was wondering if this could be implemented some time in the future, as many Japanese runners post their PBs and WRs there.

Can you actually watch a NicoVideo video without an account on their website ?

Actually the embed works for people not logged in. I just tried it.

The code is simple:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ext.nicovideo.jp/thumb_watch/sm22832030"></script>

Change the smxxxxxx with the code for the video you want to embed.

I see, I wasn't aware of that, since everytime so far I wanted to watch something on nicovideo I went directly on their website and thus had to login

United States

Neither was I to be honest. I assumed it wouldn't work. But I tried it and was pleasantly surprised.

Is there a way to implement that embed code into the site so that when you put nicovideo links in the Video Link box, it recognizes it and automatically embeds? It's cool that it actually works but unfortunately there's no way to put in the embed code ourselves when uploading runs.

United States

Of course given how short Nico videos are, the site really needs multi-part video support for it to work well.

Nicovideo links are now embedded on the site.

Multi-part video support is an issue for another day, though.
