I use a youtube subscriptions feed amongst others, if I look in RSSOwl for instance, posts display the embedded videos in the feed items. That doesn’t seem to work here – I’m getting an image instead. Is this an error or by design?
Its not an error or a design. The plugin can take feeds from Youtube and Vimeo and have them open in a lightbox. It cannot take feeds that are in an iframe and keep them in an iframe…Wordpress doesn’t handle that very well (a security issue).
with
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/t-UWwwJgkqc” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
It gives me the embedded video in my post but I take it you meant that this is problematical in conjunction with the lightbox methodology.
On the lightbox front – actually this post doesn’t open in a lightbox, in spite of the settings – non YT posts do work with the lightbox but YT posts are following thelink off-site and directly onto the YT url.
