Post To Timeline 'Available Uploaders' Bug?

I'm using v7.2.1 'Post To Timeline' box on the homepage.

Let's say I select VIDEO.

One of two things happens:

In Admin > Video > Settings: if I've selected ALL Available Uploaders (html5, regular, record, embed) --> then I see "SELECT FILES" with no option to embed a Youtube video in the Post To Timeline Box. (image below)

OR

In Admin > Video > Settings: if I've selected ONLY Embed as an Available Uploader --> then I am allowed to embed a VIDEO, but I cannot use the other uploaders in the Post To Timeline Box. (image below)

Why does only one work at a time here? It all works perfectly together everywhere else on the site.

Same exact issue with Photos & Sounds modules.

Photo Module: if I ONLY select Embed, so members can share/embed pics via the Post To Timeline box... then they can't upload photos at all, even profile pics.

What's the fix to get all uploaders to work together in the Post To Timeline box?

Thanks!

 All you have to do is post the youtube url and the video will be automatically embedded.  Just post a video url as text and watch what happens.  youtube, vimeo... whatever

Uploader choices are only for media modules... not timeline.  Unless I unknowingly fell on my head and forgot, timeline has always worked this way.

When I read your reply, I got very excited for a second.

However, I posted a youtube url as text and no embed box. (image below). It posted as a simple link and only appeared in the timeline after I refreshed my browser.

What am I missing?

It looks as if uploader choices do affect timeline in v7.2.1. 

Whenever I check/uncheck uploader choices, it changes my option in the 'post to timeline' box when I click on video, photo or sound.

The ability for members to both upload or embed right here makes a huge difference in participation & activity levels.

You need to enter Admin Panel > Settings > Advanced Settings > General > Embed.ly Key 

Woohoo!

The good news is that videos, photos, etc. embed to the Timeline via posting the url as text. Thank you! (Forgot to add that embedly key to my 7.2 demo site)

The bad news is that it doesn't save the embedded video to the database (as how the typical embed box works with title, description, category, etc.). So, if a member wants to share a video they see posted to the timeline, there's no static url on my site to link to if the url was posted as text.

Still would like to see all uploader options when I click video, photo or sound in the Post To Timeline box. Looking on Github, it's on the to-do list for an upcoming release.

Related Suggestion: Allow the Timeline Posts to be sorted by most recent comments. If I've got a popular video that's a week old but still getting the most comments, users have to scroll down the timeline thru 7 days of posts to get to it.
