    I was trying to put a video into a post : LINK

    and it would not work. The format is a bit different than the popup allows. Am I doing it
    wrong, or has youtube changed the format of their links ?

    I've never seen a video embedded here so I don't think it's enabled.

    I have embedded plenty in the past, which is why I was puzzled. Here is one such that is working : LINK

    I am thinking youtube changed their format...

    I think the new post editor broke the youtube feature, wait for digitalpoint to give you a response regarding this.

    Works fine for me... what's the exact URL you are trying to use when adding it?

    digitalpoint, just one thing about this: it works in preview mode but not in live mode.

    Testing video insertion...
     
    [video=youtube;GI6CfKcMhjY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI6CfKcMhjY[/video]

    Works fine when I try it... so again my question is EXACTLY what URL you are trying to use when inserting it?

    I dunno... just use the normal URL in your browser when viewing the video on youtube.com I guess.

    I'm not sure if it's working for you but the video I posted above is broken. I only see an empty frame.

    Yeah, it's working now. I think it's a caching problem on the server as the issue doesn't seem to lie locally.
