Video Embedding

We've been discussing this in another thread, so starting a thread specifically for the issue is spot on ;-]
If you copy and paste the location of the video from the browser address into a message the site wraps "media" BB around the link and it does not display correctly in the message when posted.
If you right click on the video and select "Copy URL" then paste that it will display the link.

Hi folks,
The videos appear when using Tapatalk so I believe the problem is due to a clash of javascript between the header on the site and the code that inserts the Yotube video. I'm going to do a couple of tests and will need to take the site down for a short period which I will probably do at the weekend in the early hours to minimise disruption.

That is one of the things I was trying, but no luck. Not urgent, Russ may well find a workaround at the weekend.
I'm using up to date Firefox Russ.

If you want to post a link, just place some extra characters in front of the link after you pasted it like this:
hellohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YbipyE_9sA
hellohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YbipyE_9sA
Done exactly that before and now again, still doesn't work, just a horizontal line. I've also tried the link from the running video as well as the browser link, but neither any good.
Still doesn't work Dave! Everything else on this forum works for me but not YouTube videos for some strange reason.

Did you leave a space between the characters and the link? if so, don't. Also, I noticed that it doesn't work with some characters, so try "hello", which worked for me.
Try this - not a bad video either!
Open a new message - cut and paste into the editor the URL link from the video -
remove "http://" or "https://" - then save.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhW3hEMPbUc&feature=player_detailpage
or
Open a new message - cut and paste into the editor the URL link from the browser -
remove "http://" - then save.

I did exactly that as you described Dave, complete with hello and no space. Tried that in the standard and BB entry, pasting and using the link option instead. So with any option it isn't working for me, very odd.
Finally success, the first option using the running video URL with "http://" removed worked.
Thanks for the solution.
