Emded YouTube Videos

[Chris]

Since this is one thing people seem to have a lot of trouble doing I made a change. Now you can ignore using the 'filmstrip' icon (as most of you have anyway) and paste the "Share" code as provided. The video should automatically embed as shown.

Thank you! I've been looking for how to do this!

[Chris]

Feel free to try it here, my testing shows it works but I'm not 100% sure.

Looks like it be working just dandy..

Nope, that linked an image to YouTube rather than embed the video itself.

Here what happens when I remove "&feature=youtube_gdata_player" from that link.

Still the same, damn.

[Brody]

All three videos play for me...

[Chris]

At least they're consistent but not what I was aiming for.

This change is preferred by the masses, though it still kills the time cue feature that I use on some vids.

I'll just remember time cue won't work here - no biggie.

Oops, it's working as I wanted, just doesn't display properly on an iPad. Sorry about the time cue Jim.

Duh! Since iPads don't display Flash it provides a preview instead which is why I thought it wasn't working. :redface:
