  Is it possible to get Vimeo videos to show up inline (embedded) in the Comments? I’ve tried everything but can’t get them to embed.

  Thanks!

  thanks, but doesn’t seem to work for me.

  here’s what i used (as an example):

  [gigya src="http://vimeo.com/17116107" width="400" height="300" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" ]

  i just get a blank white box (instead of the video).

  and this is the embed code (copied-and-pasted) that vimeo says i should be using (for reference):

  <iframe src=”http://player.vimeo.com/video/17116107″ width=”400″ height=”300″ frameborder=”0″></iframe><p>Untitled from Motoring Con Brio on Vimeo.</p>

  a) http://vimeo.com/17116107 is the webpage, not the video.
  b) To create a gigya shortcode you need a flash embed code, not an iframe one.

  If you embed the video in a post the normal way then check the sourcecode of the published post, you can copy its flash code and transform it into a working gigya shortcode. Result:

  [gigya src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf" width="400" height="300" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="clip_id=17116107&server=www.vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=01AAEA" ]
