Embedding videos from YT:

When I imported my entries over from LJ, embedded videos from YT failed to materialise. I knew this was a known issue at the time. I planned to follow the FAQ advice (at a later date) and re-paste in embed code from YT into the relevant entries.

I tried that tonight and the code still doesn't register or show to a/any video. I just get a broken icon and a white dotted line around the space where the vid should be. This also happens if I try to embed a video into a new post.

Anyone know why this is?
And if there is a work around?

I have made some custom CSS tweaks on my dreamwidth

.contents .userpic {

float: right;
position: relative;
left: 2.5 px;
top: 2.5px;
border: 0px;
}

#container {

width: 99%;
margin: auto%;
font-size: 100%;
text-align: left; /* IE fix */}


#content {

width: 75%;
display: inline;
float: right;
text-align: left;
font-size: 111%; line-height: 1.2em;
margin: auto%;
border-left-style: double;
border-left-color: black;
border-left-width: 3px;

}

But I very much doubt that these are what's interfering. They seem really basic - which of course is why I managed to plonk them in the CSS box successfully to begin with! *grin*

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Problem which was identified as user error *g* solved thanks to the gracious and helpful people on the thread.

Thank you.

you might need to include

or when you going into post thru the html editor, there is an option just before where you type, saying ' Embed Media', and then you paste the video coding into that

[silverblade219]

the thing that would be include before it got erased: < site-embed id="1" > < / site-embed > (without the spaces)

It's working for me.

Off to try the latter.
Thanks.

It turns out it might be my browser - Camino - though lord knows why.

Also, can you paste the code you were trying to embed at pastebin, and share the URL here?

I would embed at paste bin, but as every lovely person on this thread figured out I was suffering from user error, there's no need. *g*

Thank you for your time, which is much appreciated.
