Embed Won't Work
-
Hi, I searched and couldn’t find a fix, so here I am.
I broadcast on Live365 and used their code, which they said works on their end, to embed my station on my site. But it never works. Sometimes it shows up as just a link to the player, other times I just shows all the code as an unclickable code. But it never actually embeds the player. Support was helping me but I think they gave up.

Sorry, this is the embed code.

Live365 is not one of our supported embeds, so you’d need a Business or eCommerce plan to embed that player here: https://wordpress.com/support/code/
If you’re looking to embed a live stream on sites below the Business plan, we do support Twitch: https://wordpress.com/support/videos/twitch-tv-shortcode/

So I did talk to them and they said they took the code on their end and embedded it on a WordPress site and it worked fine. They also said it usually works on other station’s sites. Just can’t figure out why it won’t work on mine, if that’s all true. By all accounts it should work. The code from YouTube looks the same as Live365’s code and it works. Just a head scratcher I guess. Thanks anyway.

Hi there,
“A WordPress site” means it’s a site using the open source WordPress software. That software is made by a community of volunteers on WordPress.org, and can be used to build your own website on your own server.
Your site is hosted on WordPress.com. We use a modified version of the software made on WordPress.org, and something that works on the open source version is not guaranteed to work on WordPress.com. You can read more about the difference here:
https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
Specifically when it comes to embeds, we don’t allow the
iframeandscriptcode that HTML embeds need to function – Live365 uses iframe code for this, so it won’t work on WordPress.com.Our code restrictions are explained here:
https://wordpress.com/support/code/
Our Business and eCommerce plans don’t have this code restriction, so you’d need to be on one of those plans in this case to use that embed code.
Otherwise, to embed a Live365 stream on WordPress.com they would need to add support for the oEmbed protocol, where you embed content using only a link, rather than HTML code. This page from our developer documentation explains what is required on our end to add support for a new embed. You’re welcome to share that with the Live 365 team in case this might be something they want to consider:
