   So I've been trying to register Kickstarter with the wp_oembed_add_provider function and for some reason it doesn't work for me.

   Here's and example calling kickstarter's oembed provider URL:
   http://www.kickstarter.com/services/oembed?url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crypteks/crypteks-usbtm-encrypted-and-lockable-usb-solution

   Here's the code I added to functions.php

   add_action( 'init', 'add_oembed_providers' );
   function add_oembed_providers() {
       wp_oembed_add_provider( 'http://www.kickstarter.com/projects*', 'http://www.kickstarter.com/services/oembed', false );
   }

   I've added other oembed providers with no problem, and Kickstarter's oembed output looks like well-formed JSON, but wordpress just doesn't display the video embed no matter what.

   Any ideas?

   FWIW, here's the JSON returned by Kickstarter:

   {"html":"<iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"410px\" src=\"http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crypteks/crypteks-usbtm-encrypted-and-lockable-usb-solution/widget/video.html\" width=\"480px\"></iframe>","title":"Crypteks USB\u2122 - Inspired Design meets Ultra-Security","author_name":"Crypteks Inc.","provider_url":"http://www.kickstarter.com/","provider_name":"Kickstarter","version":"1.0","type":"rich","height":410,"author_url":"http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/crypteks","width":480}
