  I can´t seem to embed flickr videos according to your short code instructions. The player will not show. When looking at the activity window, I see that:

  http://edr401mvpanortheast.wordpress.com/apps/video/control.swf.v2048929936

  and

  http://edr401mvpanortheast.wordpress.com/crossdomain.xml

  throw errors: can not be found.

  I suspect something is wrong on the part of wordpress.com.

  I embded the flicker videos, using [flickr video=12345567] – but to no avail. The ID is correct, the video play in flickr directly. The video is public and can be shared by the public.

  Thanks,
  Sebastian

  Not really. As it still doesn´t work and I don´t have HTTPS Everywhere installed – as was suggested as the cause in this thread.

  HI there,

  Can you show me where you are embedding these Flickr Videos? Have you seen this support guide?

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/flickr-video/

  You wouldn’t need to embed it with a shortcode. You can just use the actual URL. Let me know if that helps!

  Cheers!
