Problems with embedding youtube video's

[Deleted]

Hi Chris,

I have managed to cut& paste the URL of your Canberra video into a browser and watch it successfully. I have also cut it and pasted it between the Youtube tags and, as you say, it just gives a blank.

I did wonder if it might be a current problem at pro-boards, but I just tried to embed a recent video of mine and it works (as below...you don't have to watch it!!!, it just shows that it does work)....



The url to my video is...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA-D14WA14I

which doesn't quite follow in the same format as your url...
www.youtube.com/v/GpxnTaaOmc0?


So, I made your url like mine....

www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpxnTaaOmc0

and embedded it with tags.....



Bingo! Don't ask me why!!!!!

Thanks Dave

looking at the two URL's it looks like I will have to add

watch?v=

where I have got

/v/

cheers

Chris

Yep, that's just what I did.

Cheers,

Dave

Never got a chance to see the giants myself so to see Dave's video clip was good. Looks like there was a lot of effort involved by the operators and nice to see that the "health and safety" police kept their noses out. Nice!
