[4.1.x] 4.1.2 No video appearing in RSS feed

1 Mar 21, 2012 03:54    

My b2evolution Version: 4.1.x

Here's my RSS:
http://www.puppetsinmelbourne.com.au/blog.php?tempskin=_rss2

The first post in that, which is shown here:
http://www.puppetsinmelbourne.com.au/blog.php

Should have a video at the end of the post. It's showing up fine on the blog page, but doesn't appear in the RSS. I used the usual embed code given from Youtube, and used no plugins or anything to insert it. How can I get it to show up in RSS?

The youtube code is there if you view source. You should better ask browser devs why they don't display video in feeds ;)
Check RSS specs, it looks like <object> tag is not allowed in feeds.

Face palm... The one thing I didn't do was check the source. Thanks for that, I'll look for alternatives for object tags.

Try HTML5, youtube should be able to produce HTML5 embed code.

I tried using the iframe code, but that hasn't seemed to change anything.

Are iframes allowed in RSS? I'm not an expert in XML feeds, check documentation or search the we for examples.

I don't know, but it was the only other Youtube code available to test with. I'll look into this more tomorrow, it's not urgent. For reference: in the past have videos gone through RSS with different versions of b2evo, or does it work with a plugin?

It's the choice of a browser to display the video or not. b2evo does its job to include the code, as you can see in source.
