Video embedding problem

Hey people!

I am trying to add a video to the gamebox magazine template. The problem is that the embed code just shows up instead of the video. I am adding the video to the same place as the quick-start comes with.

I add this code in the WYSIWYG editor:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x2Fb5ahiPFo?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x2Fb5ahiPFo?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Problem occurs with vimeo and youtube.

you need to add it in html not wysiwyg ..

wysiwyg = what you see is what you get. therefor when adding the code, you will see the code...

change to html ,and past in in there, im sure it will work out...

and btw. welcome to gavick

Try adding the media code with "Toggle editor" view enable.

Cheers
