I'm havin' trouble gettin' YouTube videos to embed correctly. This forum might not support the new coding. Only one way to find out...

Test: New embed code;

<iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fSOTJVsqHNQ?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Test: Old embed code;

<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fSOTJVsqHNQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fSOTJVsqHNQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Test: Old embed code w/center added;

<center><object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fSOTJVsqHNQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fSOTJVsqHNQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><center />

 

I had trouble the last video I tried to post also... any resoulution so far?

 

OK...that was a "FAIL".

 

Nope...I jus' noticed at the bottom of this page that "HTML" is turned off. Other's manage to embed videos on other threads.

 

Copied code from a successfully posted video on this forum site...at least I can see the code itself here...to see what's "different" about it before I hit "Post".

<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWitHlctipE&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&versi on=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWitHlctipE&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&versi on=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>

OK...looks like the old code...I'll post it again without the very last "</object>" so I can compare both codes closer. (without scrollin') The first should post a video...second only code text.

 

Hmmm...what about this way...

">

 

OK...no embed codes. Gunna play around with the URL...and buttons...jus' curious...

TEST: URL alone;

TEST: # Button;

TEST: <> Button;

TEST: php Button;

 

I finally figured it out! On YouTube I clicked to "Share"...then to the right of the link I clicked on "show options"...there I selected "HD Link" and "Long Link". Then went to the Post/Reply box on the forum and selected the "Go Advanced" button...then selected the "Insert Link" and pasted the link. See...lookie...

 

Tryin' it with the short (default) code too...

K...for future reference...don't use the "embed" code to embed on this forum...the long code made the difference.

 

still dont work

 

Just copy & paste the URL, i.e. {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVWazHTunSI} you can leave off the brackets I had to "hide" the code.

Then the embed code generates itself, no muss, no fuss.
