I had to click on these small symbols to see the YouTube embeded videos. Is that supposed to happen or is that how the code is written?

Screenshot?

You might have placeholders turned on. I think you can check to be sure in the /manage/ section of the site.

But they play at least right?

Screenshot. I'm using IE7.

My place holders were turned off in the first place. =/

And yes the videos do play.

Yeah I dunno why I don't...either way, I am pretty sure I know what the issue is, there should be an option much like image place holders but for video content, unfortunately, the code is not open source so it make take some time before I can get my hands on it.

Haha noooo it's not fine!!!

If you visit http://www.scribbld.net/manage/settings you'll see a checkbox right below image place holders if it's checked you get the place holders, if it's unchecked you will see it (the video) normally. I am adding in text now haha so it's not just a "random" looking checkbox!

Awesome. At first it didn't seem to make a difference, however, I selected the option to use placeholders just to see what would happen, and obviously I still got placeholders. Then I deselected it and FINALLY got the videos to show normally!

I think you can only embed videos in journal entries not comments.

It's odd cause on my web browser (Safari for OS X ) I can see the videos just as you normally would. No placeholder icons or anything. :\

Are you using the <*lj-embed> code?

I think that's what it is...
