Vimeo/Youtube don’t appear in RSS feed

Hey there.

I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve noticed that WordPress eliminates the <embed> tag and its contents when I publish a post, and so Youtube videos aren’t showing up on my feed reader.

I can see Youtube videos on my feed reader (Google Reader, btw) from other blogs that also use wordpress, so there must be a way to turn this “feature” off. I know it’s not XHTML compliant, but I really want the videos to show up on feed readers…

Thanks

I’m now using this Smart Youtube plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/

It does the trick for Youtube videos (it even centers them).

But I would prefer a more generic solution…

It’s impossible because many RSS softwares can’t display flash content into RSS feeds.

Yep — same problem. Though for some reason I got one Vimeo video to show up on Google Reader — but not others. Youtube seems to work with Smart Tube for RSS but wish sure there was a consistent work around for Vimeo.

@ Farinha — not sure what you mean about Smart Tube centering videos?? Thats pretty much a rhetorical question so I’m not trying to sabotage this thread.

I’m having the same issue. When i use feedburner, my videos show up so the problem is not there. Also, I’ve use feedvalidator and they say the problem is with the element containing an action script. All I want to do is include a vimeo video in our post and have it show up in Google Reader. This works fine for TechCrunch and other blogs. Anyone know how they’re getting it to work?

I’m having the same issue. Has anyone found a solutions yet?

I’m using the plugin call TubePress. It feed a video as a post or if you want to show Youtube at the sidebar you can try Google AJAX Search API http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/videobar.html
