   How can I embed video from Youku (Chinese video platform)?

   So far I've tried using iframe and html but every time I update, the code I pasted in to the HTML editor just disappears. I've copied the code below:

   <embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

   <iframe height=498 width=510 frameborder=0 src="http://player.youku.com/embed/index.html?prefer=h5&vid=XNDYwMTEzMTY0"></iframe>

   Any ideas?

   Thanks in advance!

   Iframe code is stripped out here for security reasons. You might be able to convert the Flash code into a Gigya shortcode, which IS supported here: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/gigya/

   same problem here, I've tried all the code Youku provides but nothing shows up.

   As raincoaster suggested, you copy the embed code and turn it into a gigya shortcode. You take this:
   <embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
   and turn it to this:
   [gigya src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XNDYwMTEzMTY0/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" allowScriptAccess="always" ]

   Width and height can be changed (proportionally).
