Embedding YouTube videos...

Redeemed · 08-30-10, 10:30 AM

I have the same problem with either IE8 or FF...

embedding youtube videos doesn't seem to work. It just displays a blank white space. But yet I've seen other posters embed them just fine, and I've not had a problem doing so myself untill just recently.

Either the method for embedding has changed, thus I'm doing it wrong, or the embed function ain't workin' right. I've noticed other members seeming to have the same problem.

Just figured I'd throw this out there in case there is a bug or somethin'.

So I guess embedding still works...

Sooo... think ya'll could tell us what you're doing?

This is how I've always embedded and it used to work fine-

click "embed" button below YouTube video, highlight and copy the code that displays. Switch over to nVnews and click link for youtube tags, between tags paste code from youtube.

Used to work, no longer does. What are ya'll doing differently?

That's what I did. Quote mine to see the exact part of the code I used. There's also the possibility embedding is disabled on certain videos.

I still don't get it. I know some videos wont allow embedding, and for those when you click the "embed" button on youtube it states "embedding disabled for this video"- or something along those lines.

For the ones that do allow embedding the code shows up. I just copy the code and place it between the youtube tags and it still shows up blank.

Or maybe I'm missing something?

No you aren't missing anything, there is something wrong.

Okay, so it's not just me.

Now, to figure out why some people can embed without issues while other's cannot.
