Embedding Youtube using JW Media Player 4

I am using Drupal and I tried to embed a Youtube video using JW Player, it used to be working, but for some reason it has stopped working. I followed the example in http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard&example=5 with the following code:

<embed src="/modules/swftools/shared/flash_media_player/player.swf"
width="425"
height="345"
bgcolor="undefined"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1SNX8tFM6w"
/>

Any reason why it wouldn't work?

It wont work on mySpace, I dont even think that you can embed code on mySpace. I think you are a bit confused on how it works, you dont just make a code in the wizard and paste it in, you must install the files on a server and then paste the code into the HTML. You make it sound like you pasted the code into the mySpace UI, if you have that was epically stupid.

@jef – it would be posted in a static html page. I believe blogger strips out html. klink hasn’t posted here in a long time, in fact, his post is from 2008…

This is what worked for me. Like kLink says, put "YT.SWF" in the same directory as the movie, "PLAYER.SWF"


<div id="container4"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("player.swf","ply","326","276","9","#ffffff");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allownetworking","all");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam("flashvars","file=http://www.youtube.com/v/ycqwDxpkPw4&type=youtube&image=images/gmix.jpg&frontcolor=ffffff&lightcolor=ff4a0b&skin=stylish.swf");
s1.write("container4");
</script>
