Iplayer Videos

[bibblebub]

embedded iPlayer videos don't currently seem to work e.g. as used here http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Adverts/Question1271691.html#answer-8304431

I thought only utube videos work on AB?

Youtube videos are the only ones allowed in the Enter YouTube Link Here box but one has been able to embed both Youtube and iPlayer videos within the main answer box. Except that iPlayer doesn't seem to work at present (and embedded Youtubes have always been a bit iffy whenever I've tried them)

I don't know what it could be, maybe they've changed the format...

I have looked at your answer Bibble and I see that the iPlayer video is embedded?

You need to put the full link in, not the shortened version - we can't get through the "shortener" layer in the case of iPlayer (I think we can work it out from the youtube short-links though!)

It does look like the text typed after the video seems to, er, go somewhere...

Sandez seems to have messed up his link, which is why his didn't work, and yours did.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll add this to the bug list.

p.s. i never use the shortened version of the link
