| Why do some videos embed just fine, while others appear as white boxes? |
|
Quoted:
If it's a white box chances are you didn't correctly copy the code or embedding has been disabled by the uploader. I thought that if embedding was disabled by the uploader, the video screen would still be displayed and that there would be a message informing one of this and directing you to view the content directly via YouTube? |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: White box is when you don't correctly copy the URL, generally. If I right click in the address bar and hit the copy prompt, how can it not be the correct URL? Could be https (Youtube is doing this a lot now). Never have an issue using the share code from youtube and the flash video tool in ARF's advanced editor. |
Here is an example of what I tryed to post earlier...
Here is the video... |

Here is the video... Don't copy the "embed" code. Just copy the Youtube link and paste into the ARFCOM Youtube button dialog box. |

Like this:  |
|
Click the 'share' button underneath the video Copy that link Put it in [ youtube] [ /youtube] tags (without the space) |

Don't copy the "embed" code. Just copy the Youtube link and paste into the ARFCOM Youtube button dialog box. As I stated above, I am copying the URL from the address bar, not the embed dialog box. Let me show you the difference in our URLs. This is what you're trying to embed with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=x0etEmiCL8M#! This is the URL I embedded with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0etEmiCL8M I've highlighted the difference in yellow. |

I'm still working on figuring it out.
That little player_embedded section is what screws it all up. Dunno why it's sensitive to that |
