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?

Posted 5 years ago #My feed is set to full text. Of all the blogs that I read, and many have featured youtube videos, this is the first time I actually saw a video in a news reader (bloglines) published using feedburner. When you go to the actual boingboing post the video is not present on the permalink page but is present in the feed.I would love to know how that was done.

daddyo, I would be curious to see an example of a site using full feeds, with a similar file embedded that does NOT show up on feedburner. My own experience is the same as Kaf's.
I use feedburner myself, and when I had full feeds, all of the media, regardless of type, within a post showed up.

Posted 5 years ago #I'm with you daddyo. I can't get videos to show up in my WordPress or Feedburner feeds either. I'm viewing the feeds with Google Reader and Thunderbird.
I noticed that Boing Boing started posting pictures of the YouTube player that link to the page on January 13.

This also happens to me, I don´t know where is the problem

There's no magic trick to it. If the video shows up in your webpage, and you have Full Text set on the feed options, and your feedreader supports it, then the video will show there too.
Now, if you're running something like PodPress or any other feed-altering plugins or what have you, then all bets are off. But WordPress does not futz around with the feed by default if you have it set to "full text".

Not so.
-The video appears in my post (http://zacheverson.com/2007/05/15/improve-your-grammar-while-you-watch-tv-and-eat-your-cereal/).
-Options > Reading > Full text is selected
-I checked the feed on Newsgator and Google Reader. The video does not appear.
I checked with a rep at Feedburner too and got this response:
The youtube image should appear in the feed like any other image, but it appears your original feed (before it gets to FeedBurner) does not contain the image in that is in the post, just the link. You'll have to check that out with support at wordpress.org to see how to make sure your content also shows up in your feed. For one thing, make sure you don't have summary mode on under the options tab in the wp admin interface.

Yes, except I don't use the plugin because I want to; I use it because I have to. As described in this thread
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/81416?replies=8
unless I use the plugin YouTube videos, YouTube videos won't display when my site is viewed through Firefox. So, unfortunately, my options are
- have the video appear when viewed through all browsers on my site, but not appear in the RSS feed
- have the video appear in my RSS feed, but not when someone views my site through Firefox
Ideally I should be able to have it both ways.

Z_Everson,
I assure you that that's crap.. that bit about not being able to see youtube videos on your site in Firefox unless you use a plugin.
I do NOT use any plugins to display any flash videos and have NO issues with any browsers.
your issue stems from not using proper markup.
if you need proof:
http://www.village-idiot.org/search/youtube
In fact, here is a fresh 2.2 install with an embedded youtube vidoe:
http://bigbox.village-idiot.org/archives/8
ALL of those videos were added manually -- no plugins whatsoever and they all display perfectly.
It's a simple matter of NOT using the visual editor, and providing the proper markup:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/f2XQ97XHjVw" height="329" width="400"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f2XQ97XHjVw"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object> -
Whooami:
I have no doubt that it worked fine for your sites. As the post I referenced earlier
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/81416?replies=8
demonstrates, however, I am not the only person to have this problem.
I manually added the code from YouTube to a blog post. I added it in the code screen, not using the visual editor. When I checked the post it looked fine in Safari, but the video did not appear in Firefox. I verified that fact myself.
I'm glad adding the code works fine for you; unfortunately that's not the case for several other people.

As previously stated,
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/f2XQ97XHjVw" height="329" width="400"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f2XQ97XHjVw"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object>is proper markup. And please note, that is not what youtube tells you to use.
The fact that other people have a problem doesnt make it valid. Ive provided the same code in countless threads and watched this non-problem disappear.
For instance, you latest youtube video would be done like so:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/KsaEciNVmZ0" height="329" width="400"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KsaEciNVmZ0"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object> -
Ah. Got it. Thanks!
-
youre very welcome :) and i see that you edited your latest post that contains a video. You will be happy to know that I see it just fine in Firefox. ;)

Hey--I just tried posting a YouTube video on my other blog Margaret and Zach: Meet a do-not-play list. With visual editor off, I posted this code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtGF2m102Wg" height="329" width="400"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtGF2m102Wg"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object>The video does NOT appear on Firefox or Safari.
The video does, however, appear in Firefox and Safari--but not my Feedburner-generated RSS Feed--when I use the code YouTube provides:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EtGF2m102Wg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EtGF2m102Wg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Any idea what gives?
-
you are not using the proper url for object code in the first example you pasted above:
this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtGF2m102Wgis not equivalent to this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/EtGF2m102Wgsee this:
http://bigbox.village-idiot.org/
it works just fine when you do it correctly.

Thanks.

youre welcome again :)

Posted 4 years ago #Hi!
I'm having some problems using the markup code provided.
I switched to "code only" editor, and added it. The post is:<p>Blah blah</p> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntB0SDfbs2U" width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntB0SDfbs2U"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> </object>For what I've seen that should be the right way to embed the movie. Unfortunately when I save it, the code of the article becomes:
<p>Blah blah</p> <p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntB0SDfbs2U" width="425" height="350"></p> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ntB0SDfbs2U"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object></p>In other words it adds an end paragraph tag that just should not be there. And if I edit the entry to remove the tag, well in the editor it does not appear.
I suppose I'm missing something, but I can't figure what.
Any idea?Thanks in advance :-)

Posted 4 years ago #If you use one of the youtube plugins it will format properly for you instead of just using the embed code. As for the RSS issue, the plugin puts the code into the page, but when it serves up the HTML code it transforms it to the embed code, which does show up in RSS feeds.

Posted 4 years ago #Actually I'm using Viper's plugin but I would like to embed it manually, so the video would be present in the feed too. I can't understand why the code is messed, after I save it.
-
Posted 4 years ago #Ok, after some test I found out where the problem is: the code must be put on one single line. If you put it on multiple lines WP will add the tag to create a new paragraph after the first line.

Posted 4 years ago #Well, even if in the Feedburner feed the video is present, Google Reader does not show it. And Bloglines neither. I think I can give up, at this point, I'll add a link to the video...

Posted 4 years ago #You may want to take a look at Glenn Slaven's No Embedder plugin
This plugin will add a noembed section no any embedded content that does not already have one. This is very handy for people reading your site in an RSS reader, as a lot of them don’t display embedded content. By default it will put this message in there:
"There is embedded content here that you cannot see. Please open the post in a web browser to see this"
Additionally, for YouTube and GameVidoes content, it will also display the thumbnail of the video in the noembed section.
