All you should need to do is paste that code into the HTML section when creating a post.

I do not know anything about embedding videos, as I have never personally done it. However, you might want to make sure that any markup plugins are disabled for the post.

The whole <embed> thing is a netscape creation, not valid html - but most browsers do handle it.

Good morning,

we use the flvplayer for posting actually approx. 100 videos on our local newspaper blog with best results.

The code to be embedded looks like this:

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="310" wmode="transparent"data="flvplayer.swf?file=uploads/marcdietel_512K.flv&image=uploads/preview_marc.jpg"><param name="movie"value="flvplayer.swf?file=uploads/marcdietel_512K.flv&image=uploads/preview_marc.jpg"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object><br />

I just posted the video on my test site: http://zonalnet.com/serendipity/index.p ... -test.html

I just took the code and posted into the text box. I have the WYSIWYG editor disabled, so I just pasted the test without doing anything else.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I love the onion.
