I'll have to research this later today...not sure why it's not showing up for me. Thanks anyway.

Do you have the WYSIWYG editor one? Turn that OFF and just use the straight HTML interface when pasting it in. If using the WYSIWYG editor it may think that is supposed to be text and not actual HTML.

Eric,
I double checked to be sure I had the html editor turned off and it is and I used the text only to embed it. I even changed templates to classic just to make sure it wasn't the template I am using throwing it out as text...and it still shows up as text in the Classic template.

So...this tells me I do not have something set right, but I don't know what it is!! It has to be something. Its not the video itself because I have tried other embedded you tube videos and they won't show up either. I'm at lost on what to do here and I have to have this You Tube video inserted for a client.

Any suggestions from anyone would greatly be appreciated!

After playing around with the editor, I don't think its working correctly.

I removed the video and placed text in there using the WYSIWYG editor, changed the text size and when I saved it, it showed up with the html font tags!

The only mod I have installed so far is the COWOA...hummm...may have to reinstall, try the You Tube thing, then install the COWOA.

Geez...what a morning!

I have no luck with COWOA, getting it to work in any way. Had nothing but problems when I tried. I think it may be your problem.

I have 1.3.9g

I just added video to a product page. Had to add from Categories / Products - Amos n' Andy TV page in "Plain Tex" is did not work in HTML.

One thing I found was you have to have <b> in the start of the Plain text page or it will not work. This may be your problem as well. Sometimes you have more than one problem messing you up.

Check out how my video tuned out here:
