embedded youtube video not playing?

4 replies
hi all

I've been busy learning Camtasia and editing and all that since xmas. I love it!

But, I've got a private you tube channel and an open one and a Vimeo Pro account (Got Amazon S3 too but found that a little challenging and VP was recommended by a big marketer)

And, the private videos looked soooo much nicer in Voo player than without so have loaded them that way for the actual landing page for a free WSO I'm putting together.

They wont play unless I'm logged onto Youtube. Weird. They have the message that they cannot be played in the frame.

But they do work if I'm logged on.

So is it Voo player, me or what?

PS - I also have Easy Video Player but havent installed yet and checked the thread - seems there are lots of problems so I was reluctant to start using that when I've got to get this launched - I've been fiddling and procrastinating for toooooo long and cannot give myself anymore reasons to delay except tech issues like this are kinda dictating that

Thanks for any tips

    If I have understood you correctly, I am not sure what the problems really are but if you are embedding youtube videos on a wordpress page, you may want to check Traffic Video Player plugin out.

    Thanks,

      Voo Player says its compatible with Youtube but wasn't sure if their TOS changed or something? or if it is me in the setting up of a Private video

      Its for outsourcers to view so they know what needs to be done to get accounts opened with correct elements for a couple of syndication plugins so I didn't want it to be viewed by everyone

      Easy Video Player should also work but as mentioned as its had probs I was reluctant to start messing with that until I know what the real problem is

      You are very kind to take the time to help out - thanks Louie

        Is the video in youtube set to "unlisted"? I don't think it'll work if it's set to "private."

          Yep - the penny has dropped!

          I feel it necesssary to say 'doh!'

          Of course I cannot view on the blog if I haven't enabled embedding - what a derbut I am - youtube doesn't know its my blog!

          I feel I should laugh out loud now

          Ok - now I know what's what, I can get it sorted

          Thanks for helping me realise the very obvious error
