Invisible media??
-
Hello,
I’m not sure if this is a problem with my browser or WordPress, but all of a sudden the youtube videos I embedded in my posts have become invisible! I noticed it when I was composing a new post. I did the usual “copy url” thing, and the tag still appears in the body text, but when I publish there’s nothing there. I checked previous posts and videos which had been working fine before are also gone.
I looked for help on the support page, but discovered that even there, where the reader is pointed to a video (“The video will look something like this:”) there’s nothing there either.
What’s going on?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are these the instructions you are following? http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
Please post the link to the blog in question starting with http://
Please also post links to the posts where you are experiencing this problem.P.S. Lately many youube videos are not displaying on blogs as youtube is required to respect copyright. UMI and EMI videos can now only be viewed on the youtube site.

I’m having the same issue as kaleidophonic. The issue appears to be specific to Chrome.. YouTube vids appear fine in Firefox 3.6.15 and IE9..
An example on my site http://pdalbury.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/the-third-man-rolling-record-store/

Have you reported the browser issue with Chrome and youtubes to Staff? Here’s the link > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/@kaleidophonic
Are you using Chrome? If so take note of what pdalbury has shared. -
I suspect this is a problem with the Flash upgrade that Google initiated with its browser.
At first, I couldn’t even view Youtube videos on Youtube.com, but I chose to participate in the HTML5 beta and that was fixed. But the invisible videos remain on my blog. -

Sorry, yes, the support page I was using is: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ I can’t see the example clips on this page.
My blog can be found at http://kaleidophonic.wordpress.com/
The post “So who’s your favorite band” is missing three videos (the tag/code is there, just that the vids don’t appear once I preview or publish). It’s especially obvious at the end of the post where I point to two muppet vids but there’s nothing there.
The browser I use is Firefox 3.6.13
