Good news! Well, slightly good news anyways... · 10:32pm Aug 14th, 2016
Well, haven't gotten my computer fixed yet and probably won't till the end of the month as the guy mom wants to get to fix it is our of town for a few weeks. Tried asking her just to take it up to OfficeMax but mom wants to save a bit of money and once she gets her mind set in something she can be stubborn. Okay, I admit that isn't a good way to start off this blog post titled as it is but here's the slightly good news. I've now figured out how to get cover art for stories from my tablet and that means those three one shots I mentioned I can now start working on whenever I get the chance to. First one that'll be up will be my Twixie story, then my dark AU where the events of the pilot are just a delusion of Twilight's and finally my Lyra/Bon-Bon story.
Now, how did I achieve getting cover art uploaded on a tablet? Well basically what I did was download said art to my documents like you would on a normal computer (Seriously, how did I not figure this out earlier?) and then upload from there.
Now, if only I could upload music videos and music from YouTube to a certain story, but unfortunately on a tablet YouTube is a app, not a site with urls so that's a problem still. If anyone can tell me how to get around this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Go on your app browser and go on youtube.
On youtube go in the option and select the desktop display. It will display the same as on a computer.

Your welcome. I actually forgot this is how I have done on my Itouch to watch youtube videos that don't work on the youtube app mode.
4150045 Just one question I should have asked, does this same thing work on a LG Tablet as that's what I'm using.
I don't know for sure. I personally don't have a tablet and my familly members who have one, have Samsung models.
But normally it's the same principal, just as I said, go into your browser, go on Youtube, by default it will display the app mode, just look (I'm getting attack by a mosquito here) for the three horizontal bars and choose the desktop display.
4150070 Not actually seeing it, so I think it just might not work with a LG unfortunately...
4150070 Never mind, tried this on my phone and it works but for some reason not on a tablet.

Try but tilt your tablet. For unknown reason the youtube option doesn't display all it's option if the tablet is tilt in a certain position.
4150086 Did try that but didn't work. Like I said though, your method works on my phone though which is oddly a LG.

Works on your phone, but not with your tablet... strange.
Try with another browser app. I'm using firefox it works on my Itouch.
4150097 Oddly enough, when I tried it on my phone (It always copies and pastes things to a clip tray like in the tablet) any YouTube link I try to post it just tells me I have a invalid url.

It might be because the URL contains trace of the the mobile device code. You must either edit it or have you tried using the share button below the video. You can use it to have a valid url or try the embed one.
4150190 Never mind, it wasn't that. I was just entering the wrong type of url. Silly me.
In any case, the links are now in the latest chapter, but they don't show the videos though. Eh, you take what you can get.
4150204
I confirm they're there.
Though I don't know how you integrate the video in the text story, but isn't there a youtube button like the one on top of the comment box? But try testing the embed option, it may do the trick.
4150217 Yeah, that's what I tried, using that little YouTube button. Maybe it's something to do with the tablet?

I just tried doing it from my Itouch and it works, I can see the video in the preview.
Looking back at the links you post they all start like h*ttps://m.youtube.com*/watch?v=twmGEjAeud8
Try changing them like this [youtube=https://www.youtube.com*/watch?v=twmGEjAeud8] (remove the *)
