Embedding YouTube video

11 years 10 months ago
#41536
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:
Code:
<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:
Code:
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

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

This has an invalid URL ... look closely... the src starts with //

Also, the editor does not like the -nocookie suffix on Youtube...

Take it off, and the editor YouTube tool will take your URL.

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.
