Hey, I know I used to have an addon (or maybe some script extension package?) that showed the title and a preview of video links posted wherever. I can't remember what it was, though, and google isn't producing too good results. Any help?

In SA, I have the user option "Show video embedded in posts with the [video] tag?" set to No and use 2 scripts.
One I wrote to replace text Youtube links with thumbnails so I get the video preview without using the resources of an embedded player for every link (handy when the same video is quoted a dozen times on a single page.
code:// ==UserScript==
// @name SA YT Links Thumbed
// @namespace http://*.somethingawful.com
// @description Uses YT links to show thumbnails
// @include http://forums.somethingawful.com/*
// @version 0.1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
var vidList = document.getElementsByClassName('bbtag_video');
for (var i = 0; i < vidList.length; i++) {
var p = /^.*youtube\.com\/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11}).*$/;
var vidId = (vidList[i].innerHTML.match(p));
if (vidId[1] == false) continue;
var image = document.createElement('img');
image.setAttribute('src', 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' + vidId[1] + '/hqdefault.jpg');
vidList[i].innerHTML = '';
vidList[i].appendChild(image);
}
This setup works really well. Just the way I wanted it to.

Thanks! This seems exactly what I'm looking for. Too bad the link seems to be dead at the moment. I'll have to check it out later.
Where do you put these scripts to make them run automatically after page load?

Install the Greasemonkey Firefox add-on, restart Firefox, then you can save mine as a .js and drag it into the Firefox window and just click the Install this script on the site I linked for the other one.
Note that you don't have to change your SA settings and use my SA script for the other one to do what it does (though I much prefer using them both). Try it first by itself so you know what it does.
