RE: Improvements to the video player

Hi Matt!

I've tried the Android browsers and the videos come out great. Awesome stuff.

I've noticed one semi-minor thing, which is that the 'embed code' option no longer seems to work in blog posts.

For a few blog posts, I wanted to include videos which I'd uploaded in the past. To get them to appear inline, I usually go to

the video, and select the 'embed code' option as shown here:

[View:/resized-image/__size/620x234/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-50abf044-ea8b-4c65-96b1-90cf557fc548/2117.contentimage_5F00_180932.jpg:620:234]

Then, I go into the blog post, go into the HTML view and paste that code in. However now it appears as a blank space.

There is a workaround, which is to select 'Share this video' or 'Link to this video' (both seem to do the same thing) and

that provides a URL which can be inserted in the blog post instead. However the disadvantage is that the video is no

longer inline.

Does the 'embed code' thing need to be updated, or should I use an alternate method to insert previous videos?

There is an option while creating the blog post to use the 'Insert Video' tool and go to 'Choose from your videos' but that

only lists 15 or so videos, and the ones I want are therefore often not in that list.
