It works on this vanilla forum, but it does not work on my own vanilla install, I am using the latest version 2.0.18.4. Is there a plugin I need to use or something?

When I put the same thing on my vanilla forums install i just see the url

As it turns out, it was a problem with the CLEditor. If i disable it the embed youtube works

just my findings - I don't use cleditor except for this test.

I think it converts when it writes.

if you disable the the cleditor and write an embed

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mA8z0pRjp-U&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="385">

it shows up fine.

then when you enable cleditor the embed shows up fine.

but if you enable cleditor and post same line it does some rewrites the tag.

you can see the difference when you choose edit.

You can get around the problem in cleditor.

post the embed.

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mA8z0pRjp-U"&amp;amp;nbsp; width="640" height="385"&amp;>

then choose edit - then show source and modify then change
this
&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mA8z0pRjp-U"&amp;amp;amp;nbsp; width="640" height="385"&amp;amp;&gt;

with these.

&lt;embed

to
<embed

and
