Could not embed youtube videos
« on: May 15, 2008, 05:44:44 PM »
Hi
    I tried embedding my youtube videos as per the instructions but always seeing the empty space there but the same when I tried in a local html page it works fine. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Vijay

Though it appears here the video does not appear on the page. It simply displays a white image. It would be great if you could send me the HTML code and I will try exactly and let you know. Thanks for your response. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks
Vijay

Can you view videos normally at youtube.com?

I suspect you don't have flash installed . . .

try this code:

Code: [Select]

I tried that still it does not show. Here is my article "Convert a DVD case to Robot!" where you can see the code you gave me converted to a string.
I have the flash installed and no problem in seeing youtube videos and other videos. For e.g. I tried copying the code into a separate .html file and I am able to see the video in the browser. Am I missing something?
