   I currently use "WordPress Video Plugin" to plugin videos from yahoo, google video, youtube, .... and other sites into the posts.

   This works fine except for the RSS feeds. The method of embedding seems not compatible with RSS. RSS feeds show code instead of the video. Code :
   

   var button = document.getElementById('facebook_share_link_51') || document.getElementById('facebook_share_icon_51') || document.getElementById('facebook_share_both_51') || document.getElementById('facebook_share_button_51');
   if (button) {
   	button.onclick = function(e) {
   		var url = this.href.replace(/share\.php/, 'sharer.php');
   		window.open(url,'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');
   		return false;
   	}
   
   	if (button.id === 'facebook_share_button_51') {
   		button.onmouseover = function(){
   			this.style.color='#fff';
   			this.style.borderColor = '#295582';
   			this.style.backgroundColor = '#3b5998';
   		}
   		button.onmouseout = function(){
   			this.style.color = '#3b5998';
   			this.style.borderColor = '#d8dfea';
   			this.style.backgroundColor = '#fff';
   		}
   	}
   }

   The method suggestes by wordpress to embed google videos does not seem to work anymore. (http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2006/02/06/google-video/) Shane Bill's comment doesn't seem to work either.

   Thanks for your advice!

   Is this a self-hosted WordPress site or a wordpress.com site?

   Thanks!

   It's a self hosted site.

   Have you tried embedding videos without a plugin?

   I just put in the URL now. WordPress indeed did do the auto-embed. So the post still looks the same.

   I had a look at the RSS feed. Problem is not solved. It still shows the code shown above.

   Try deactivating any facebook plugins.

   Tx, solved the problem. It's related to the "share on facebook" plugin I use as well!

   Tx!

   kcaluwae - can you please elaborate? We're having the same problem but don't know how "share on facebook" would cause this issue.
