• The other day on BoingBoing they embed the youtube video into the RSS feed. You could play the video right from the news reader. Does anyone know how this can be done?

  • hi there, i’m using vipers-video-quicktags plugin to embed youtube videos, but they don’t appear in my feed as well.

    i HAVE TO use this plugin, cause the editor of the website should not handle html-code to embed videos..

    my question: is vipers-video-quicktags plugin not able to show the videos in feeds at all?

    thanks for help;

    Whooami,

    I too am having a heck of a time getting embedded flash players to show up in google reader, and safari’s RSS reader. I’ve copied your object tags verbatim. Here’s what I’m using:

    My DIY Player and Video:

    <object class="video"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
      data="https://northstarlabs.net/blog/flvplayer.swf"
      height="300" width="400">
    <param name="flashvars"
      value="displayheight=300&file=https://northstarlabs.net/blog/media/WeschWeb2v3.mp4&image=https://northstarlabs.net/blog/media/WeschWeb2v3.png&height=300">
    </param>
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
    </object>

    For a Youtube video, I’m using:

    <object class="video"
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
      data="https://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE"
      height="329" width="400">
    <param name="movie"
      value="https://www.youtube.com/v/6gmP4nk0EOE"></param>
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
    </object>

    The post I’m trying to get working is:

    A video of what this looks like in Google Reader is:

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I, too, cannot see my embedded YouTube videos when using Safari’s RSS reader, but I’m more concerned about something else — I have embedded YouTube videos in posts that have podPress-added media, so they are part of my podcast. When I checked the feed validators, it said it was valid, but it also give a warning saying that content:encoded should not include the object tag — but that’s exactly what YouTube provides to embed the link.

    I could live with me personally not seeing the videos in Safari if I knew that other people would able to properly see them in other common RSS readers and without my feed giving possible errors due to invalid code. Any thoughts?
