    here’s an example:

 * How are you inserting the embed code?
 * The code on your page is this:
 * `<iframe src="http://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=-53823348&#038;id=168360865&#038;
   hash=4ed3800f6bea4446&#038;hd=1" width="607" height="360" frameborder="0"></iframe
   >`
 * but if I right click the video itself and choose “copy video code” it gives me
   this:
 * `<iframe src="http://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=-53823348&id=168360865&hash=4ed3800f6bea4446&
   hd=1" width="607" height="360" frameborder="0"></iframe>`
 * For some reason the “&” symbols are getting encoded as “&#038;”. If you try the
   second embed code it should work.

   But on debug page it still works [http://6.firepic.org/6/images/2014-04/10/h2qctpzhlpet.png](http://6.firepic.org/6/images/2014-04/10/h2qctpzhlpet.png)
   Maybe more correct to use direct link to the video, not iframe? Like this [http://vk.com/video157000410_167248787](http://vk.com/video157000410_167248787)

 * Discovered the issue and have a fix on the way.
 * Details for anyone interested: The tests were passing (despite not working in
   posts) because “the_content” filter wasn’t being applied to the markup during
   tests, and for some reason when it gets applied to the VK embed code it encodes
   ampersands as `&#038;`.
