YouTube embed failed

EMBEDDING VIDEO FAILED

I was able to upload 3 videos through the embed YouTube link but no more. However, When I deleted a video, I was able to add another one. 

Is there an internal limit set somewhere or something that a can't add more videos?

(I tried Administration -> Settings -> Membership Levels -> [Membership Level] (Actions) -> videos add

 There is no limit set for the permission as a standard member.)

Very strange limitation. I've noticed that it doesn't take all the files that YouTube will take. So I have to ensure that my members know that this is limited.

Is there a way to manage the file types that it will accept? Or add file types for it to accept?

Wow, the service here is awesome!

The YouTube embed is still not working right. Strange, since it's such a simple feature.

thx guys for all your help.

what's the url ? ill try and see if it works on my site.

Edit: No one here gets paid to provide any kind of service. If you don't get your questions answered don't cry right away :)  I have about 200 youtube videos on my site so it's not a problem within the script.

Thx for the reply.

I'm thinkin that it simply doesn't accept all YouTube links.

The link you asked for: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQaH-LR8yGM

I could not embed that link either.

I do not know the exact reason for the failure. I am guessing it may be due to the fact that the video does not have all the fields filled in when it was posted to youtube. The title and description for example. That video does not have a description, so perhaps that is the reason for the failure.

actually video has been removed. That is the reason for error i guess.

deano92964, I uploaded a new link with description: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xxuxAeOqCs

I'm thinking it just doesn't accept 3GP files (blackberry phone) even if it is a YouTube embed.

Is the video private, or is it searchable via YouTube's search engine?

It's public. I have done others. But this is a different type of file (3PG) which is from a Blackberry phone. I just thought it was odd that I could upload it to YouTube but not embed it.

I don't understand how that would make a difference, since it's embedding and not uploading.

I'll just add it up to Boonex no being completely compatible with all YouTube embeds. Case closed I guess.

non of my sites take http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEdPPVBqq4M those links anymore, what is wrong?

I can still play all the old videos I embeded via Utube but can not add anymore new one :-(

I try on 708 and 709

Sorry my mistake that link didn't work cos "This video is unlisted. Only those with the link can see it. Learn more"

Everything is still ok and I can add YouTube Videos :-)

Some videos just do not want to be embedded. I keep getting "Video Embed Failed" error.

So where lies the problem exactly? Can somebody check this one out please?

getting this alot myself

OK I SAY IT ONCE MORE NOW :-)

IT IS MOST LIKELY A "UNLISTED VIDEO"!!!

What is an unlisted video?

An unlisted video is a different type of private video. Unlisted means that only people who know the link to the video can view it (such as friends or family to whom you send the link). An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube's public spaces (such as search results, your channel or the Browse page). An unlisted video is different from a private video in these ways:

There is no other explaination and if you got one post it

more so READ MORE :-)

Is not a private video.  However, looking at the set of tags attached to this video:

Tags:

• lustig
• fun
• comedy
• Gunkl
• 40
• Jahre
• Mondlandung
• USA
• Russland
• Deutschland
• sexy
• erotic
• porno
• Verschwörung
• Teufel
• Geheimbund
• geheime
• Mächte

I would guess that the video cannot be retrieved via the Youtube API because of one or more of those "sexy" "erotic" and "porno" tags.  The API is filtering videos with those tags, therefore Dolphin displays a meaningless error message "Embedding Video Failed"

Perhaps if the API request were reformatted a bit.  In the file:modules/boonex/videos/classes/BxVideosConfig.php

Find the code below:(about line 61)

        if(!defined("YOUTUBE_VIDEO_RSS"))
            define("YOUTUBE_VIDEO_RSS", 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q="#video#"&safeSearch=none&v=2');

Add the code in red.
