any ideas how to embed my subtitled video on my Wordpress blog?

[lisibo]

Hi!

I've subtitled a couple of Spanish songs from Youtube and wanted to
post them to my blog. however, the embed code doesn't work in
Wordpress :o(

Any ideas how I can make it work?

I use a Youtube widget to upload 'normal' Youtube clips - tried add
ing the 'v' to the URL that I normally do to no avail :o(

Hi Lisa,

Can you share the embed code you're using with us?

Also, are you on a wordpress.com hosted blog, or your own wordpress blog?

Best,
Dean

Lisa,

We had a bug come up in this area yesterday. We're going to release an
emergency bugfix to production but we haven't done it yet. Will
probably do it this evening.

Meanwhile, there's a pretty easy way to fix the bad embed code. You'll
see there's a u in front of the video url. Just remove the u.

If you're still having a problem, please reach out again.

Looks like there's no u in this embed code.

Lisa, what kind of blog is this getting added to?

[Lisa Stevens]

Hi again. It's a wordpress blog. My friend hosts it for me. I think I'd probably better ask him if he knows the answer. Embedding other things hasn't worked I seem to recall!!

Off to bed now as in UK. Will try again tomorrow!

Hi Lisa,

Because wordpress doesn't allow javascript, you can't simple paste in
the embed code. We have opened a new bug: http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14398
so that we can work around this limitation.

Friends, I want to share a section of the help of wordpress in which
they explained why you can not insert javascript. I hope it useful.

Javascript

Users are not allowed to post JavaScript on WordPress.com blogs.
JavaScript can be used for malicious purposes. As an example,
JavaScript has taken down sites such as MySpace.com and LiveJournal
offline in the past. The security of all the blogs is a top priority
and until we can guarantee scripting languages will not be harmful
they will not be permitted.

JavaScript from trusted partners, such as YouTube and Google Video, is
converted into a WordPress shortcode when a post is saved.
( Wordpress Help)

Thanks Edy!

We have a solution to this: some code people can put in their headers
that will enable Universal Subtitles on all their compatible videos.
It's working pretty well right now and we'll be releasing it soon.

Can someone explain to me in layman's terms (I'm not much of a techie)
how to add a video I have subtitled to my wordpress blog (hosted by
wordpress) as copying the default code given does not work:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://
s3.www.universalsubtitles.org/embed.js">
(

{"video_url": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU0QUIPo2_U"}
)
</script>


What displays on my blog if I copy/paste the above is just this text:

(
{“video_url”: “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU0QUIPo2_U”}
)

rather than the embedded video.

thanks,

Dawn

Hi Dawn,

Please make sure you're editing in HTML mode (as opposed to "visual"): http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/

Also, if it's a blog hosted on wordpress.com, it won't work yet (we're talking to them about this).

Best,
Dean

Hi Dean

thanks for the feedback. I was working in HTML mode but thanks for
confirming it doesn't work yet. At least now I know its not me doing
something wrong. When a fix is known will it be announced here?

Dawn

[Dean Jansen]

We'll blog about it once we get something going there :)
