Any idea why Youtube clips don't embed anymore?

Post by shevek »

I just noticed this last time I posted a couple days ago:
Youtube clips don't embed themselves automatcially into the post anymore
(it's just a link - not a video you can click on).

Did something change on the site? And if so, is there another method to embedding the clips?

How strange are the ways of the gods ...........and how cruel.

Hmm when I try the media tag the editor says that's not allowed.

Can you try just a link here in this thread so I can check out why some people can embed and others can't?

Sure. Here's my newest Youtube link.



Looks like it embeds now. Guess something got fixed! If so, thank you!

Looks good to me. Last night I refreshed the plugin that handles the embedding. It might have been in a hung state.
The only thing is anything that was added before the refresh would need to be edited and resaved and the embed should work. It won't happen automatically.

Don't use the BB Code. Just add the URL by itself.
