What Is the video your trying to post?

regular ass youtube videos

I have no problem with YouTube and also use the Related Posts plugin
I use the YouTube button and hand coded methods to serve validating Videos.

What happens if you disable the Related Posts plugin?

I tried disabling the widget, removing the container, changing skins. Same thing. I looked at _skin.funcs.php on like 114, but don't know what I should be seeing.

now the post page it prints up some of the guts of the object/embed code. I think this is a step in the rightdirection.

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5501710&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" />http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5501710&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300">

I had no problem, b2 3#, with related posts on etc....
using the following

<div class="videoblock"><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5501710&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5501710&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/5501710">vice versa</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user2004488">jacques khouri</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p></div>

line 114 in skin.fincs.php has to do with redirects!!

// Check if the post has 'redirected' status:
			if( $Item->status == 'redirected' && $redir == 'yes' )
			{	// $redir=no here allows to force a 'single post' URL for commenting
				// Redirect to the URL specified in the post:
				$Debuglog->add( 'Redirecting to post URL ['.$Item->url.'].' );
				header_redirect( $Item->url, true );
			}

Embedding youtube's standard code is not working for me in 3.x. In preview mode I get a mean, ugly page!

What's the actual code that you're putting in your post ?

¥

it's the same old youtube provided script one uses. I use it all the time for my b2 2.x installation and it works fine. Soon I will try a reinstall and see what happens. here's what i'm putting in the post:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jUE77MXuq6g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jUE77MXuq6g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Seems like it may be your installation. Obama loads and plays nicely.

I'm guessing it's the <embed> code that's barfing the xhtml checker ( which is skipped in preview ;) ).

Before you point out that Johns snippet also has <embed>, it was shoved in afterwards by the plugin ;)

try making your code look something like this :

<object width="640" height="385" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/jUE77MXuq6g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" title=" whatever ">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jUE77MXuq6g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />

</object>

Bugger, that kills that guess :p

@ Yabba, Yep, any which way, the videos work in an actual post, and don't screw with validation at all.

I'll just play the gmt card and claim that you're miles ahead ;)

¥

ok, next guess ... do you have auto_links plugin installed?

This seems to have malfunctioned less, but the video still doesn't show. In Chrome there are no error reports, in firefox its same as before.

Can I ask what is explicitly different about your version of the object code?

Also, I'm going to proceed with a re-installation and see what transpires.

not unless it's part of the default installation. is that a good one?

update: I am a monkey.

testing re-install

ok, fresh install, no mods done, same problem. I tried object coding variations to no success.

you can see it here:
http://barackobamachronicle.com/blog1.php

I don't know what it is about your installation but it's rendering the Flash code in a very odd manner. eg.. value="<a href=" etc etc, which should be value="http...."

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/uzc7FlRium8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0">http://www.youtube.com/v/uzc7FlRium8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0</a>" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/uzc7FlRium8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0">http://www.youtube.com/v/uzc7FlRium8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0</a>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

yeah, its also giving me the _skin_funcs funk, still, from a fresh 3.2 install...

Hang on until the head hocho releases an update version this week and try it...

I'm not exactly sure how, but the situation has resolved itself.

I'll do my best to re-instigate it.

It is a default install plugin and in some version of 3.x it caused similar problems to the one that you're having. Can't remember if/when the bug was fixed with it.
