Embedding youtube videos onto website not working. All other sites working.....
hi guys,
We have a web server which we are trying to test video embedding. As an example, I will give you the details of one of our test servers. So basically, we run a service called 'iframely'. Once we have done this, we can test whether the video embedding will work.
Example: http://52.19.118.253:8061/iframely?uri=https://www.youtube.com
In the above, if you put this into your browser you will go to a page with black text and this confirms that it works. Logging onto a particular page, you will see an embedded video which is how it should always be. However, if I put this same IP but with a specific youtube video, such as:
http://52.19.118.253:8061/iframely?uri=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqB2-FRZy0s . This will return a page can't be found. I'm trying to figure out what it could be.
Any ideas at all?
Thank you again for looking into this.
Cheers
Yash

I'm not getting anything from either link. Youtube doesn't allow their videos to be put in iframes which may be why you're getting the 'page not found'.

Thanks guys. It's strange why the links were not working.
Cheers Paul for that. The thing is that we want people to be able to post youtube videos onto our 'wall' (similar to facebook). So it's not static in effect and we can't embed the iframe in the code. So we're using something called Iframely. But it will work when you post the www.youtube.com homepage, just not the rest of the videos on there.
