Is there a problem with youtube embedding?
« on: August 26, 2010, 11:27:11 AM »
I haven't been able to embed youtube vids for a couple of weeks now. I copy and paste the embed code as usual, surround it with the youtube tags as usual, but all I get is a blank space. Is anything wrong? Am I cursed? And what about Naomi?

Are you using Firefox, IE or some other browser??

Tried it with Firefox--still no joy.

Ok, here's the code I picked

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tf10i2zTlV8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tf10i2zTlV8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>


trying again...

I'm using IE as well (Firefox crashed), and it DID work above, but the first time I tried it I got the same thing that you did.  Dunno......

Use the Youtube icon in the reply box. C&P the address in between (http://www.......)

                       ^ here  don't use the embed on Youtube's site.

First of all, "embedding" won't work. Copy the actual link to the YT video and insert it in between the Youtube BBC code

Code: [Select]

 [youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf10i2zTlV8[/youtube]


It should get you this:

I've never been able to get it to work using the whole link.  I always just put this in between the YT tags; Tf10i2zTlV8

I get this;

Either way works for me. When we first implemented the YT button, it was only the last part. Must have been one of the upgrades that fixed that problem or something. It's just easier to copy & paste the entire link.
