    Default Embedding Youtube Video

    Hi!

    I have just upgraded to 1.50 and am having a lot og trouble embedding YouTube videos - it worked before I upgraded.

    My customer was the video to autoplay when a page loads and YouTube says this is accomplished by adding: &autoplay=1 after the video ID.

    When I do this it always converts the & to &amp - I thought this had something to do with code editing and WYSIWYG editing.

    However no matter what I do - if I edit it in code - once I save the file and go in to have a look it has reverted to &ampautoplay=1

    Any ideas why this is happening and how I can embed autoplaying YT videos?

    Are you editing in "plain text" mode? Or are you using an HTML editor of some sort?

    Hi!

    I was using a HTML Editor but in `code mode'.

    I think one of the problems may have been the new embed code (beginning with IFRAME) - I changed it to the old longer code (Beginning with `object') and it seems to work.

    I also changed to editing it in plain text so at least it is autoplaying now!

    Thanks
    Ernie
