I am trying to show my client how he can embed video into his articles - and when i try both the EMBED code and the URL link of the video, it shows up in the preview box in when I am creating the article but not in the final page on the web. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a special setting that I need to configure in order to display embedded video in the articles?

Hi Dave,
There is two different methods that I use to embed youtube videos:
1. Using just the video URL, in CMS Builder (using the WYSIWYG editor) click on the media button for insert/edit embedded media. In the popup, under the General tab:
Type: Flash
File/Url: enter you youtube URL here
2. The other method is to copy the embed code from youtube, then click on the HTML button in the WYSIWYG editor (in CMS Builder) and paste the code.
Both methods work for me. Can you give some more details and a link to the page?

I have problem displaying embeded youtube video in IE, it works fine in Chrome and firefox, but it doesn't show up in IE. It only displays a missing link?

Hi Igor,
I had the same issue. Here's an excerpt from my CMSB Cookbook www.thecmsbcookbook.com on how to solve it.
First, download the free YouTube video downloader from http://www.xilisoft.com/download-youtube-video.html
Create an upload field that will accept 1 .flv file, a video_title text field, and if necessary, a video_image upload field.
Then, to render a blank video screen in the viewer:
To render an embedded still image to click on:
The line breaks are only there for clarity. There should be no extra spaces. Change the sizes to fit your application and the URL to match your web site URL.
There's more information at 'http://freevideocoding.com
Hope that solves some of the mystery.
