I just can't figure this out. I must be stupid.

Where do I embed {youtube}blahblah{/youtube} ?

I've tried putting it everywhere and nothing ever works.

Can someone give me a sample of the code required just to add a simple youtube video?

I've published the mambot.

I view the html source and I've tried everything.

<embed> {youtube}BvzlZuWrJNw{/youtube} </embed>

nothing ...

Any help is appreciated.

Ok, I have another easy (4U) question... Sorry but I am a real newbie!

I am trying to embed an mp4 file and the instructions seem easy enough BUT it's not working.  I originally put the file into my own images/Media/Video subfolder as the mentioned default, images/stories/video, didn't exist after I installed the mambot. I changed the Local Video File parameter and published the mambot. ({mp4}images/media/video/myvideofile{/mp4}). 

When that didn't work, I created the default folder, changed the pointer and re-uploaded the file; I even tried changing the file permissions to include X ({mp4}myvideofile{/mp4}).

The page starts loading Quicktime then just goes off... no error message... nothing... just an inactive "Q" with a "?"... ???

Is it an issue with file location? File type? Security? Other parmeter settings? What am I missing?  :-[

Using Vista, IE7, Joomla 1.0, AllVideo plugin v2.x, Quicktime 7

Anything will help!  Thanks!

     

No I dont think that is a stupid question at all - as a complete Newb also it is the same question I have?

I see you must have found an answer - would you care to share? I hope you appreciate the frustartion of trying to get this right when it does not seem to be working.

Thanks in advance for any help
