in Setttings>>Media, there is no oEmbed, only "Autio-embeds" i can tick.
please tell me if i need to add any code of something to any WordPress files or my theme files?
many thanks in advance.

What's happening when you try to use the embed code?
"it's broken, why doesn't it work?" isn't a clear indicator of what could be wrong. please provide any and all details you can.

hi jdingman,
1. when I try to insert [embed]url link put to media[/embed] into my post, the short code show up in the post. so i assume the oEmbed short code is not interpreted.
2. when I'm in the backend admin panel, go into Settings > Media I cannot find "oEmbed" section which was shown in those "how to enable oEmbed" tutorials, so I think for some reason I cannot enable oEmbed with my WordPress 2.9 installation.
with the above 2 facts I encountered, I think may be I need to add some kind of code in function.php or anything to activate it, but I have no idea, because I'm new to this coding thing.
If any help to point me to the right direction, much appreciated.

I have several installs of wordpress on 2 different servers.
Both have cURL installed and curl test scripts work properly.
Both are shared hosting platforms (cpanel and virtualmin) with virtual hosts running PHP as user under fCGId.
php -m shows curl running as a php module
Auto-embed is enabled in Settings > media
I have cleared caches, turned off wp-cache or super cache, restarted apache after 2.9 upgrades, etc. to eliminate those as issues.
When I paste in a valid, embeddable Youtube or Vimeo URL, and save the post, the URL is saved as plain text and no auto-embed occurs.
