Hi, This can be replicated with CKeditor Embeded Media button
Given that the only form of Embeded media allowed is using iframe
So for example:
Suppose I wanted to Embed the following Video:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XRHHYfa5NeY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Lucky there are other way of doing the same thing like using
[VIDEO::http://www.youtube.com/embed/XRHHYfa5NeY::aVideoStyle]
in the body of the content or creating a field

The issue with the other methods is that you can't to my knowledge force output size so it would be ideal if the iframe method would work without giving me a white blank screen once I save the content. The content gets inserted correctly but the blank screen is confusing and one needs to retype the url to get back to the site.

Cheers.

Ps. no errors are displayed just a blank screen.

Hi, I'm sorry for the super delayed response.

I don't think your issue is related to video embed field. This module doesn't provide that direct embedding functionality that you're referring to with the iFrame - I think that may be provided by this module: http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg_mediaembed or directly from ckeditor if you've modified the configuration / added a custom plugin.

This module provides the 2 methods you mention work - that is adding a field and the [VIDEO embed style. With each of these you can configure styles in configuration -> media -> configure video embed styles. These styles allow you to set the size and behavior of the player for youtube and vimeo and switch between styles via the field formatter (for fields) so you can change the size based on whether you have a teaser or full node rendering.

Hope that helps
