   When getting some content with the get_page function I can't make an oEmbed video work. The template just returns the flat link to the file.

   Here is my code, I've tried apply the the_content filter but its not working.

   Any ideas / help!

   Thanks

   Ian.

   // load videos
   	$page_id = 724;
   	$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
   	$videos = $page_data->post_content; // Get Content
   	$videos = apply_filters('the_content', $videos);
   	echo $videos;

   Are you attempting to embed from one of the "approved" sites?

   Yep, its youtube. it just doesn't get processed.

   If I post the url in a normal page it processes fine. Its just accessing the data via get_page that doesn't work.

   Same issue, but it only appears in a category archive. It's not caused by a conflict since I get the non-embedded url even if this is the only thing I include in the page:
   

   <?php
   $player = get_page($pageid = 93);
   echo apply_filters('the_content', $player->post_content);
   ?>

   One thing I'd recommend trying is wrapping your content in stripslashes(), or maybe increase the number that the filter gets applied, i.e.

   apply_filters('the_content', $videos, 99);

   Just blind guesses. Seeing a var_dump of your $videos variable may help though.

   I solved by just using a simple query_posts

   <?php 	query_posts(array('page_id'=>93));
   if(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <aside>
   <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   </aside>
   <?php
   wp_reset_query();
   endif;?>

   I was using this method earlier and I switched to get_page for (unproven) speed's sake, but apparently it doesn't work as well as query_posts. You could also use a WP_query object, but I'm not familiar with it.

   Just for anyone else looking.

   I ended up storing the URL as a custom field then using wp_oembed_get
