Error when using you tube embedded code

Go into source code and change youtube url from https to http.

Worked fine with the older format which was this. source>gen tab for
preview>insert Windows 7 and Firefox.

I don't know what that code is supposed to be, but it's not a YouTube embed code.

The YouTube Iframe embed code works just as it did before. I've used it several times since this update went on line.

Is there any preview or do you have to post first? I am still getting black screen with white and then red play button. Either produces error.

There should be a recognizable preview in the reply frame.

When you are on Youtube, do this:

• Click the SHARE button
• Click EMBED
• Click on Show More
• UNCLICK the "Show suggested videos when the video finishes" button
• Copy the iframe embed code
• Come back here to your post
• Position the cursor where you want your video to go.
• Click on the "Insert/Edit Video Icon"
  (Just left of the smiley face in the tool bar at the top of the posting window.)
• Click on the EMBED Tab
• Paste the embed code from Youtube there
• Click OK
• DONE.

This is the result...

Per instructions...this is all i get

There is no youtube url - this is all there is:

www.youtube.com/embed

 You don't need to used embed codes from youtube, simply copy the url of the video and paste it in the default field("General" tab, "source" field) when you click the "insert/edit video" icon. The Hoopla software inserts its own embed code for display on the page.

Thanks Rob...something odd here. This particular embedded code i have used many times with the older format...i dunno. I do have a flash killer extension but it never bothered before.

Here is the copy of the url entered into the gen tab.

Willygee, the code entered in your post is just this: www.youtube.com/embed/W. This is not a valid URL for anything on YouTube. That's why the screen is blank. I'm not sure where you are getting that code, but that URL will never work.

If you simply cut and paste the YouTube URL into the video box here as ACDX ROB has suggested, it will work. However, you don't have the option of turning off the Suggested Video list which comes up after the selected video is over. Typically that list will have videos shown in it that have nothing to do with the original video link. I personally find that very annoying and always shut it off.

Here's the same video that I embedded above, but instead of embedding it, I just pasted the URL into this post. Watch what happens when it finishes. A bunch of other video "recommendations" come up. I don't like that...

And here is what your source code looks like:

As you can see, there is no url.

It should look like this:

If you are trying to display your video within your post....there is an easy way to do so with very few steps: 

1. Select a properly downloaded video on YouTube

2. Put your cursor over the selected video and right click it

3. Left click "Copy video URL"

4. Go to your post that you are creating on the OGR forum and right click within the area of the post you want the video to appear

5. Left click on "paste"....your video is ready to view for all to see!

Wow that's too easy...

Ha! way too easy! That never occurred to me to try it that way.

Sidebar question

What type of video is this and what is the process to post this kind of video? This is a non, You Tube Video.

Glad I could help...there are several ways to post videos here so that they come up within the thread but the way I posted above is the easiest for me.

Rob..source code i have similar to yours but when i copy and paste as text below it comes up with black preview and white playback button.

Now i tried Ad mans way.. and low and behold

As I said above, if you just paste the URL into the post, you cannot prevent the "Recommended Videos" from appearing AFTER the video clips finishes.

You have more control over this by doing it right and using the EMBED code so you can tell YouTube NOT to display their "Recommended Videos" at the end of your clip.
