 * I have a video weebchannel called hotsos.tv. From there one can go and grab the
   code to embed the video to a site (similar to youtube). I have a blog where I
   write updates and news made to hotsos.tv named symbolsofsuccess.com (powered 
   by wordpress 2.0.5 )
 * The embed code form my site looks like this:
 * ————————————————
    <embed src=”[http://www.hotsos.tv/bloggingVideos/lonelyPlayer.swf&#8221](http://www.hotsos.tv/bloggingVideos/lonelyPlayer.swf&#8221);
   FlashVars=”videoName=http://www.hotsos.tv/videos/profile/profile06.flv&videoDescription
   =Perez Hilton Interview”type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”564″ height
   =”318″></embed> ——————————————————
 * Ive tried several things but I havent been able to embed the video player in 
   a post…..no matter what I do. I installed a couple of “fixes” and then read this
   article:
    [http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/01/26/youtube-support/](http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/01/26/youtube-support/)
   but it seems it only works for youtube……is there a way I can do this? embed my
   video player into a post?
 * Thanks in advanced.
 * P.S Im a self hosted user

 * Just for reference, that wp.com article only works for wp.com blogs as we’re 
   running different software that you and what you can download from here. Please
   ignore that article since it doesn’t apply to you.
 * I gotta admit that when i run into stuff like this, I always just go ahead and
   write the article and then edit it via phpMyAdmin and place teh embed code that
   way. I don’t know if that would work for you though…

 * try using [Kimili’s flash embed plugin](http://kimili.com/plugins/kml_flashembed/wp).
   Apparently WordPress doesn’t play well with flash movie embeds normally.
