No matter what I do whether it is supply a URL or paste embedded code the "Embed YouTube Video" window comes back with an error message telling me "You must input an embed code or URL".

Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong.

Here is the code I am trying to embed:

<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8UeLOiRvgjc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

or here is the URL that I attempted to use:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UeLOiRvgjc

I am using Safari version 8 on a MacMini
Club number: 699671

Please advise.

Are you using the YouTube and iframe icons?

I managed to embed your video by putting the iframe into the source code (source icon top left), or just inserting a link to the URL (not using the icons provided in the editor).

Using the YouTube icon I managed to enter the URL, but the page just displayed the URL rather than showing the video.

Using the iframe icon I entered the URL in the box provided but nothing showed.

So my suggestion is to either just add the URL in a link (if you use a link page it will open automatically), or insert the iframe in the source code. At least until one of the technical gurus can point us in the right direction.

Safari might be even different again, I'm using Chrome

SteveTheTechie Offline Administrator Posts: 11526 Thank you received: 3795	Ok, I am having some trouble fixing it. From looking at the javascript for the plugin, it is the nocookie part that the editor plugin is complaining about. We will be updating the editor in the upcoming weeks. It is possible that the plugin was updated also.

Until the YouTube editor is fixed you could use this code as a workaround.

Login as Admin > Launch Admin Console > Home Page > Source > insert code

<div style="width: 620px; float: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" cc_load_policy="1" color="white" frameborder="0" height="371" rel="0&amp;wmode=opaque" showinfo="0" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8UeLOiRvgjc?modestbranding=1;controls=0;showinfo=0;rel=0;fs=1" width="660"></iframe>

</div>

Ok, regarding versions of the plugin for the editor, if you look at the following, you will see that there has been a new version of the youtube plug-in created that our current version of the editor (4.3.1) does not support: ckeditor.com/addon/youtube

So... when I update the editor, I will update the YouTube plugin, also.

I should be updating the editor in the next few weeks. I want to wait until I have worked out the bugs with FTH release before I create a potential source of new bugs.
