Question SWF video bbcode no longer working..

With a couple other posts out there on this exact topic (only with other titles), I thought I'd revisit my original post and ask once again for help figuring out what I need to do, 'to notice' exactly what changes to disable it.

Reposting what I wrote elsewhere.

I would like to add one comment to the general discussion about allowing the end-user the right to accept (or not) a tolerable amount of risk. What concerns me, above all, is the extent to which the Kunena project facilitates the spread of security problems by allowing the risk to exist at all. This has unfortunately occurred with other Joomla extensions and I would not like to see it happen here.

We know that there are plenty of examples of Joomla software, developed by well-meaning people, that was exploited in ways that the developers had not intended. Here is a partial list of some of that products that have been identified as "vulnerable extensions" that resulted in many of them being "pulled" from the Joomla Extensions Directory because the the Joomla community did not feel that the risks were acceptable: docs.joomla.org/Vulnerable_Extensions_List

The Kunena project takes seriously the possibility that Kunena may have the potential for anyone to cause problems to others. Just recently we have seen a former, reputable developer of web-based discussion forum taken down by these misadventures. I am sure that we would not like to see this repeated with Kunena.

I agree that the inability to display all forms of video in the Kunena forum is a nuisance. There needs to be a way of permitting the legitimate use of video while, at the same time, preventing the illegitimate use of it.

Ok, I found a new way to embed and play SWF video inside Kunena post:

1. Install a content plugin named "Allvideos Plugin";
2. Upload your SWF video file to your server;
3. In Kunena configuration, enable "Joomla content plugin support";
4.Write Allvideos Plugin syntax in your forum post to play this SWF file;

Now ,you can see your SWF file embeded and played inside forum post.

However, I also found a new problem in this method: I can play local SWF file (I mean swf file in my own website folder), but can NOT play remote SWF file (file on other website).

I checked the source code of embeding remote file, and noticed that the path to the SWF file was wrong: I entered the correct URL, but the output path is wrong!

So I wonder: is this a bug of Kunena, or a bug of Allvideos plugin?
