Marshall Veteran Posted May 22, 2013 Veteran Share Posted May 22, 2013 Works fine, are you using media tags correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted May 22, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted May 22, 2013 don't take the youtube address from the address bar as that is https and can also have other garbage that confuses the embeding take the address from the share button under the video, that gives a clean http address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone just explain to me from a start better than go back and forwards 50 times you don't need the long link, the shortened one embeds just finejust copy the short link and paste it, you don't need tags on the side or anything as that's done automatically webeagle12 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torolol Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 yeah, but in my experience they sometimes parsed as video embed, and at another time they are parsed as links, not quite sure why. because of that I usualy use the wyoutube tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted May 22, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 22, 2013 They are only parsed as links if you use the full http/https link: Shorturl (no media tag): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
