You Tube Video Embeds Not Working
-
I’ve been blogging on both WordPress and Blogger for some time now. (I write for different sites besides my own) I’ve never had problem embedding You Tube videos before. I always post the YT embed codes and it all works perfect. I use VodPod for other players.
On my latest post the videos do not show up.

The space where they belong is there, but no video.
Normally when you post YT embed codes, it will convert to the WordPress URL format while it posts. (you will see this when you go into edit) This happened, as always.
I have also went back and tried to use the video insert tool, using the URL. It does insert the code into the HTML text, but again, no video.
Help!!

There have been a couple of other reports like this. Normally, while staff is actually tinkering on teh workings of the blogs, all the advanced methods of YouTubes fail to work and only the shortcode itself works.
Shortcode:
[youtube=URL] where you get the URL from the Share box, not the browser bar of the video on YouTube. This method NEVER seems to fail.

It failed on me. Did not work.
I copied the URL from the “share” box on YT, and used the WP insert tool. Nothing, zip, nada.

Please use the Shortcode:
[youtube=URL] where you get the URL from the Share box, not the browser bar of the video on YouTube.

A little further information. If I right-click in the blank area I get a drop down menu that says “about Adobe Flash Player 10”

Some issues can be caused by not updating your Flash and that version gas problems. You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.

Thanks. I checked, and have the latest flash player though.
First time I have ever had an issue with You Tube. I’ve even tried other TY videos to see if it’s just something wrong with the two I want, but nothing.

Just a quick update .. I went in and uninstalled everything Adobe Flash, then reinstalled.
All works fine now. Embed codes straight from YT loading fine now.
Isn’t technology fun? :-)
