So annoying! I go to youtube, get the embed code for our video. Go to drop it into the post in the html view. All is well, Save view etc. Go back to tweak something in view mode...video DISAPPEARS!! Time and time again, different posts, different videos. One minute the code is there, the next its GONE! What am i doing wrong? Is there some plugin I should be using with youtube? Thanks for any advice!

Which "embed code" are you getting? I presume from "HTML View" you are not referring to adding the video to a feature slider but actually into a regular post. To embed a video into a post, just copy the video's URL and paste it into the post. That should work.

Guys you do realize , worpress does not need embed code for youtube right? Just put the youtube share link into your post and the video will appear!

How do you control size when you are just dropping in the share link?

Hi all. I have been fighting with this for 2 days now, and I have done everything above. I have also done everything on the link listed above. I have even attempted to install the Media manager that is listed in the docs because the documentation on this sight is so horrid, and it appeared that it was required for Pagelines for any type of multimedia. Since I can't get anything to work, I have been researching other plugins to fit my needs, but anything I find that supports 3.3.1 requires that I create sets on their site instead of just inserting links directly. Can anyone help me? I have inserted every possible syntax through the insert media, I have done it through HTML, I have done it directly in the visual editor, I have messed with the settings for the sizing, I have removed the same, I have literally done everything, and I cannot get anything to work. When I use the recommendations from the site listed above whereby I just put the link in the visual editor without a link and "we'll do the rest", the content does not show up, nor do the "written words" which I would expect if the youtube video functionality were to fail. Help please!

Newbie, I totally understand your problem because the same thing happens to me very time I try to use the embed code.  If I just paste the share code on the Visual tab of the post, the video embeds but without the controls that a true embed gives, i.e. start and stop times.

Hi,

 

Try our shortcode for applying videos. I've recently tested this and know it absolutely works ;-)

 

You can find the shortcode for YouTube or Vimeo near the bottom of this link: http://demo.pagelines.me/tools/

I"m trying to use this code:

 

<object name="GranicusFlashPlayer" width="480" height="390" id="GranicusFlashPlayer" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">

<param name="flashvars" value="AutoStart=false&SiteID=cook-county.granicus.com&StartPoint=0&StopPoint=9031&MediaType=clip&MediaID=527&EnableClosedCaptions=true&EnableEmbedding=false&AspectRatio=true&LiveStream=false&MovieID=GranicusFlashPlayer&ErrorCode=0" /><param name="menu" value="true"/><param name="quality" value="high"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="wmode" value="window"/><param name="scale" value="noscale"/><param name="salign" value="lt"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="play" value="false" /><param name="loop" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="movie" value=""/><!--[if !IE]>--><object name="GranicusFlashPlayer2" id="GranicusFlashPlayer2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="" width="480" height="390"><param name="flashvars" value="AutoStart=false&SiteID=cook-county.granicus.com&StartPoint=0&StopPoint=9031&MediaType=clip&MediaID=527&EnableClosedCaptions=true&EnableEmbedding=false&AspectRatio=true&LiveStream=false&MovieID=GranicusFlashPlayer2&ErrorCode=0" /><param name="movie" value="" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="play" value="false" /><param name="loop" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="scale" value="noscale"/><param name="salign" value="lt"/><param name="menu" value="true" /><param name="devicefont" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><!--<![endif]--><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash"><img src="http://www.adobe.com...lash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a><!--[if !IE]>--></object><!--<![endif]--></object>

 

For some reason it keeps getting kicked out.  It's not youtube or vimeo code, it's from a company that streams our board meetings.

I'm not sure where the source of that code is, but how are you applying it? In which mode HTML or Visual? And where?
