Embed code not working – No player visible.

When you paste the code into the other WordPress post, make sure you’re in the “Text” tab of the text editor, not the “Visual” tab. The Visual tab doesn’t work well with HTML code.

Don’t worry about FFMPEG. Installing FFMPEG on a server has no effect on its ability to display an iframe.

Yes, of course. I’ve done that. Did you try embedding the link in the video I supplied?

Thanks for the info about FFMPEG.

Please look into the iFrame which has been generated for that video, and why it isn’t working ??

Yes of course I’ve done that. I had no problem embedding the iframe code from the link you posted.

Hi Kyle,

Can you see anything wrong with what I’m doing here?

I’ve tried embedding it onto a page of https://www.cadpro.co.nz as well, with no joy. That’s where I ultimately want to embed the videos.

Can you give me a link to a live web page that has the problem? I need to look for error messages. I don’t see any issues with what you did in the video.

Here you go

https://designandmotion.net/autodesk/mfg-pages/inventor/ilogic-assemblies-its-wise-to-normalise/

The iframe is blocked because designandmotion.net is forcing an https connection and autodeskcam.co.nz is not https. In order to maintain a secure connection, you can’t mix http and https content on the same page.

Ok. https://www.cadpro.co.nz is also https. That explains it. Thank you.

Is there anyway of getting the embed code for a video, without having to display the title & embed code?

Do you want users to get the embed code or do you want yourself to get the embed code? Either way you shouldn’t have to display the title of the video in order to display the embed code.

If you know the attachment ID of the video it’s pretty easy to make your own code. Starting with your example:

<iframe allowfullscreen src='https://autodeskcam.co.nz/?attachment_id=26&kgvid_video_embed[enable]=true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='960' height='540'></iframe>

Just change ’26’ to whatever your attachment ID is and set the width and height of the iframe to whatever you want them to be.

When I say title… I mean the black bar at the top. I’m ok with building the iFrame code myself or instruct others how to do it.

This will do thanks! It would be nice if you could copy the embed code from the context menu in future versions. That way it keeps the static thumbnail of the video clean and free from the black bar (or the embed code field) at the top.

Also thanks for writing this plugin. It’s a gem!

The tricky thing about context menus is if you want to change just one thing you have to replace the whole context menu. And copying to the clipboard requires a Flash workaround because browsers have disabled direct JavaScript copying. It’s a really unwieldy situation.

However, I am working on an oEmbed system that will make the embed codes unnecessary in a lot of cases. For very good security reasons, by default WordPress disables oEmbed from unknown sources, but for non-WordPress sites or for sites that have enabled oEmbed discovery, you just need the URL of the post, like YouTube or Vimeo.
