Video Host Not Supported
Hi Everybody,
I tried to embed one video several times. Each time I got the message "Unsupported Video Host".
I used YouTube, Metacafe, Dailymotion, and Vimeo.
For all I got the same message "Unsupported Video Host".
Thank you for your help,
Bob

How exactly? YouTube is supported.

Hi lemonie,
I tried Youtube at least three times. I always get the same message that the video host is not supported.
What do you suggest I do?

See below. I'bles isn't supporting the new markup that YouTube (and others) are exporting.

Hi Everybody,
Thanks for your help. I didn't see option "use old code" at YouTube. Everything is working.
Have a great day,
Bob

You're welcome! I had not seeing it myself; user M4industries is the one who pointed it out to me :-)

I know that YouTube, at least, has changed their "default" embed codes to use some new tag called "<iframe>". The Instructables server scripts don't recognize this as valid (which I posted as a bug report last week).
On YouTube, after you click the [embed] button, there's a checkbox you can select for "Use old embed codes." When I tried that, it worked successfully for I'bles.
You might check the other video hosting sites and see if they have made a similar change (and hopefully have a similar option).
