Anyone else having trouble getting embeds to show up on LJ?

Sep 10, 2011 16:17

I'm using the same embed code, from Blip.tv, on both Dreamwidth and LiveJournal. The vid shows up fine on DW but not here.

Does LJ have trouble with the new iFrame style of embedding?

Yes, you have to use the old style, at least that's my experience with YouTube.

Hm. Blip.tv says it has an old embed code for me to grab, but it's only showing the iFrame version.

Guess I'll keep hacking away at this...

It may depend on the site. With Vimeo, iframes work on LJ but not Dreamwidth.

How annoying! I was sure I'd gotten iFrames on LJ with Blip before, but maybe not.

Grar.

Yep, same here; I tried and failed to get Blip.tv to work for my latest VVC vid on LJ, very annoying. Worked fine on DW with the same code. I went to Vimeo instead for the LJ version, bah.

Well, drat. I may do that. Or possibly it's time to try YouTube.

There's a lot of known bugs with the new rich text editor. LJ tech is working on fixing the bugs.

you can post about this latest one here.
