Hey guys, I'm new to all of this but I've been having the same problem and as yet I don't think it's been resolved. I'm going to explain EXACTLY how to reproduce the problems I am having.
Obviously you need news aggregator and object embedding installed and turned on in DRIGG.
The feeds I am using for this are bravenewfilms. Youtube tells you here to use the following method to get an RSS feed from a youtube channel.
feed://www.youtube.com/rss/user/[insert username here]/videos.rss
I tried to use that feed in the news aggregator and it didn't seem to want to work, so eventually I just changed the protocol to http:// and I came up with this.
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/bravenewfilms/videos.rss
So now we have:
The Title = Brave New Films,
The feed URL = http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/bravenewfilms/videos.rss
Then create the feed with an update interval of 1hour. Then go back into the feed settings once you created it and click Drigg Feed Settings. Click "Enable this feed in Drigg", then submit as UID's 1, 3 (will this make a difference?) choose a category, automated tags="bravenewfilms" and then click submit. Now run cron.php and it should update with around 23 videos from brave new films.
Check the category upcoming section and low and behold the videos do not embed but the descriptions and the tags work fine. You can see this problem on my page here:

You said you wanted even your grandma to be able to follow the instructions, so badda bing, I hope she followed that.

I am having the same problem... I would love to see a fix or workaround for this problem.
I can also provide details if needed, but I am also wanting a youtube feed with the teaser showing up.

Hi,
I have just released Drigg for D6... so, I am now resuming development.
Sorry about the prolonged code freeze!
Thanks,
Merc.
