   Hi,
   I love your plug-in but for some reason the alternate message isn't showing up in the feed. ("Please open the article to see the flash file or player." in place of the video)

   I'm using feed burner if that makes a difference.

   Thanks!
   Jonathan

   What is displayed instead of the alternate message? Nothing, the flash tag, the flash?

   By the way, the option to define the message shown in feeds is actually no replacement in first case. If a reader does no interpret the <object> tag, he will/should display the message. Using Flashbox, the message replaces the link.

   Feedburner allows/shows HTML in the feed, Google also does.

   If it's not working this way, I'll look at it.

   edit: I have to correct the statement, that Google (Reader) shows flash / object tags. It does not. At least not my Google Reader. But FeedBurner does. :) Google Reader plays mp3-links and similar.

   So Google displays the "Open article" message, FeedBurner does not trim HTML tags and shows the flash. Offline-Readers should remove them, too.
