Funny, I’ve been dealing with the same issue. It’s got the point to where I don’t even want to go back and correct a spelling error, just to avoid that youtube issue. just use another video service other than youtube.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for sharing this! It’s always been a problem when trying to get the videos embedded and like you I always have to look it up. Think I’ll place this in a word doc and keep it in “my docs” for further use.
Thanks again.

Thanks for letting us know, Jonathan. I have installed WordPress 2.5 once (not on this blog, though) and did notice the little media buttons, which is what made me assume that this YouTube problem would be fixed. Didn’t have time to actually try it though, so thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi Chris, I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 last night and so far so good. FYI, the new Visual Editor apparently doesn’t screw with your code anymore, so hopefully issues like this will be a thing of the past.

I just posted a test video on my site, and it works great. WP2.5 also has much greater media support than previous versions… not entirely sure what that entails yet but I know you can upload entire photo galleries all at once instead of one at a time now.
