What can I do? Can someone help me?

Greets:

You're running different software than we are here which is why our answers don't work on your install. You need to be over at http://wordpress.org for assistance.

Sort answer though is that you need a plugin. I recommend WP-ExtremeVideo.

Hope this helps,

Now I've got a big blank spot. Is there something I'm missing?

nevermind - looks like YouTube was down.

It should be working if you're following the instructions above. If you've copying and pasteing the code from YouTube like you say you are, then you are doing it wrong I'm afraid. Here's the link again for instructions on how to do it.

I used the embed html from youtube and then paste in in my blog(gallery) html box, and its not there. When i check the html box, my embed code was gone.

I even tried using [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CJKs_c1HhU]

but the exact html code came out instead of the video.

The videos that were refusing to play on WP had their setting 'Allow other sites to host this video' set to false.
Simple really.
It seems this setting shows the video's first frame as a still, but doesn't allow ppl to play it.
Anyway, fixed now. :)

You can find a list of them here. There also exists another one called WP-Extreme which is the one I use myself and the one I roll out for my clients. It can play self hosted videos as well as those hosted elsewhere.

The initial image appears fine, but when you click the 'play' button it says 'Loading...', but never loads. Again, vids play fine on the youtube site.
FYI I've tested it at work and at home, in FF and IE (in both places I have a firewall, as all sensible folk should). Please feel free to go to my site and let me know if it works for you.

I did mess up on that one. I was thinking of the plugin i use on my blog which only uses the keycode. Here's the usage as an example:

URL of a video: http: //youtube.com/watch?v=cTJim2zIhII

The code you use: [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=cTJim2zIhII]

Using DrMike's example, I can copy/paste the keycode he's provided and upload that video to my blog. But I cannot locate any keycodes myself at You Tube, hence am unable to upload my own video. I've read the FAQ and it doesn't state where the keycode is, so it must be so obvious that it doesn't need stating ...

"We're filtering out all object tags, which is how youtube and google videos work. It's a bit of work to scrutinize these tags but we aim to make the feature available eventually.

Until then, keep linking to the youtube or google url."

If you want to use Youtube vids you have to type this

[youtube= http:// youtube.com / the url for the video ]

Without the spaces, and your video should work.
