Having trouble embedding a video

1 Apr 14, 2010 05:55    

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

not sure which version I have, but I think I am asked to update to the latest version. I installed this blog about 2 weeks ago. www.relaxandeat.com/relaxandeat

Anyway, I am trying to embed video from youtube that I create. I keep getting XTML errors and I am told to disable some settings. I tried to disable the XHTML where the link sent me, but I still can't embed video from another site.

I am also told it I change these setting I am open to SPAM?

Still new to the blog thing.

Any help is appreciated.

hi nelsonmay.

Im using 3.3.3 version the latest one. To post or embedded a video. just get the embedded code example..

[code]
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GcHkfQqxS-k&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GcHkfQqxS-k&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>[code][/code]

Go to your Write Page, click the HTML not the WYSIWYG and paste your code. then check the validation warning in

Blog Settings > Features > Multiple Authors > check both boxes. > Go to Blog Settings > Group Perms > click administrators on the left side under Members and uncheck everything from security filters.

Good luck

I have been trying to get this to work for AGES and had been unsuccessful. Directions in this post finally allowed me to get video to embed. :D
