    Hi,

    I've been trying to work with this channel embed code YouTube provides but, for some reason, it doesn't display the video player when I embed it in an html page. it's very weird because no matter what channel I use, it doesn't work. Very surprising for YouTube.

    Has anyone worked with and figured out YouTube's channel embed code that can help me? Thank you!

    Here is the code:

    <script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&amp;up_channel=TheNewYorkTimes&amp;container=youtube&amp;w=320&amp;h=390&amp;title=&amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&amp;output=js"></script>

    i had this same error as well while trying to embed. same symptoms.
    i did some digging, found a cached version of an embedded channel, viewed the source, found the embed code and compared it to what youtube is currently using in their embed channel on live. there is one difference. if you replace container=youtube with synd=open it works. they either broke something or are changing things and didn't finish the change. we'll find out soon enough.
