Jim, I see your video just fine.

Zach


Two questions:

1. When I open my video from my laptop, I get an error message; then the Youtube window opens and plays the video. Other videos give same error message, but will play only in the Youtube window

2. From my Ipad, I get a blank box where the video should be. Others, except one, appear normal and play fine. What's up ?


Jim, I get the same thing with the Ipad. If the video was loaded with flash, or some other microsoft-apple battle, they just won't play it. I would have bought a droid tablet before this Ipad any day, but a gift is a gift.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Uh, Flash is Adobe, not Microsoft. And Flash is CRAP.

Jim, I wouldn't expect it to work correctly on an iPad due to there being no Flash on iPad. Flash is the software that makes the video work.

From the Ipad I can see all the videos on this thread except the following posts:
3, 33, 35, 36

All the other posts with videos play fine; and they play within the window.

I'd bet that it has something to do with how YouTube encodes those particular files. The owner of the files can set a few option at upload time. If the wrong options are chosen, perhaps they are not 'iPad compatible'.

Didn't mean to imply flash was microsoft, I meant flash or some other microsoft/apple battle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you use the youtube app to watch video, it will only display what is compatible. If you go directly to youtube, about 30-40% of the videos won't play. I've even had them not play on yahoo, google, and some news sites.

Sure, and if you have windows, Movie Maker is fun to play with. Load it in there, you can edit and add soundtracks, titles, whatever, and it's free and already there ! I'm no expert at all.

Thanks for the heads up, I have Movie Maker. Looks like it's user friendly.

The ones that won't play on my Ipad have "&feature=player_embedded" at the end of the code we use. Works ok on 914World though.

I think it is faster to just type out
CODE
[youtube]paste the youtube name[/youtube]

Less steps, and you can do it from the "quick reply" window.

Well since my behind the scene test became the example, I did try the shortlink first but that didn't work either. This long url I just used was supposed to be the embed link?

Andy, your example shows the pink code bar, is that what I should be looking for?

My guess is you didn't grab all of the code in the short link the first time.
