  How can I embed video from Youku (Chinese video platform)?

  So far I’ve tried using iframe and html but every time I update, the code I pasted in to the HTML editor just disappears. I’ve copied the code below:

  <embed src=”http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf” allowFullScreen=”true” quality=”high” width=”480″ height=”400″ align=”middle” allowScriptAccess=”always” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”></embed>

  <iframe height=498 width=510 frameborder=0 src=”http://player.youku.com/embed/index.html?prefer=h5&vid=XNDYwMTEzMTY0″></iframe>

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  Iframe code is stripped out here for security reasons. You might be able to convert the Flash code into a Gigya shortcode, which IS supported here: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/gigya/

  As raincoaster suggested, you copy the embed code and turn it into a gigya shortcode. You take this:
  <embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
  and turn it to this:
  [gigya src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" allowScriptAccess="always" ]

  Width and height can be changed (proportionally).
