redstriper Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I just copy and paste the url - it usually works, but sometimes not and I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I've tried the URL and the embed code, I've also tried putting youtube or media in square brackets... nothing works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Simply paste in the URL of the video - no YOUTUBE tags required anymore. If there's any extra code starting with a question mark after the video code (11 characters) you'll need to delete that first. Also some video won't allow embedding. Which one(s) are you having problems with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstriper Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I just did it for you - I clicked 'share' on the youtube page and then copied and pasted the url. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1358088459' post='1932828'] I just copy and paste the url - it usually works, but sometimes not and I don't know why. [/quote] Thank you for that, why did that not work for me though... and while I think of it, why do my own posts never seem to show when I click "view new content?

BigRedX Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) You need to simplify the URLs the format should be: [code][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx[/code] (where the x's are the 11 character YouTube code.) So in the case of the URLs you posted you need to delete everything between the "watch?" and "v=" and then it will work. Don't know why your URLs came out like they do but if it matches the code format above then it will work provided that the video has embedding allowed.

BigRedX Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXT9cx9Vb10 Sorry there was a mistake in my instructions above the URL to embed the video in this post is: [code]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXT9cx9Vb10[/code] Edited January 13, 2013 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 After a few minutes trying to get this working and finally managing it, I think another thing that you have to watch for is that it must be http:// and not https:// (which I suspect is what you get if you're logged in to Google).

icastle Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've just had a quick experiment and I can confirm that. If you have a URL with http[b]s[/b] then you must remove the 's' from the URL or it wont work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
