Embedding YT videos

[3LB]

I can see and play everyone elses videos, so my version of adobe player or whatever is OK, right?

not exactly sure what you were asking, so I responded a couple of different ways, but yes, it says HTML code is ON

Well, it looks like the line you copied still has the tags I put around it to keep it from being interpreted as HTML, so I think you may have hit the reply button first.

But that's OK, when you are trying to embed it yourself, it comes out like below with a whole bunch of extra audioreview and youtube stuff added in ...

<IFRAME height=360 src="http://forums.audioreview.com/<a href=" width=640 target="_blank" embed BVRYD7PZhug?feature='player_embedded"' <a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.</a> http:>YouTube - Broadcast Yourself" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></IFRAME>


Whereas if I do what you just described, I get only what is expected ...

So maybe you have some media application that is doing it. I doubt it's the software here. But you should be able to do what you did above with the "right click->copy embed html" and then paste it someplace to see whether it looks like the first example or the second example I have above. If it looks like the first, then your phone is doing it. If it looks like the second, then AR is doing it.

I'm doing this on my computer at home. I'm copying the line as I see it, and posting it in the text, the I hit reply, right?

I guess, but it looks like you must be clicking the quote button and then copying what AR gives you because I don't know how else you would get the extra tags that I put there since they don't show up in the display window of my post.

Oh, I see now, you are copying a little more than just that one line so it's picking up the formatting. I just wanted you to copy from the first < to the last > and nothing more, then paste that text into your reply and see what happens. Or just type it in. But yea, it's probably time to move on now

I'll try again when I get home. Yes, I did highlight the entire line but nothing else, just as it appears and I didn't use the quote function.

Well, I guess this was the wrong approach because you are copying the xmp tags with it when you highlight the whole line. Just quote the same message of yours that I did here and you will see the XMP tags around both the iframe line and your testing line. Only copy from iframe to iframe, don't copy the xmp tags. Then paste it and preview your post and see if the video shows up. It should unless AR is changing the code based on your account or something running on your end.

That's all I've got.

which part of that line are the XMP tags?<>?

Really? It's the part that says XMP. See picture below - this is what I see when I quote your post above ...

[3LB]

As you can see in the Jim Carrol thread I ressurected, it did once work for me, using the same computer. I don't see anything that says XMP on anything you posted. I'm not sure to make of what you're seeing from my end.

[3LB]

wow, I'm so not seeing on my home computer what I'm seeing on a different computer. I have no idea where to go now. Geez... I don't see that picture you posted at all Davy on my PC or my phone, but I do see it on another computer.



this was posted from my daughter's laptop. I see XMP tags on her computer that I don't see from my PC... or my phone for that matter

[3LB]

I guess it is my computer. I have no idea what the problem is.
