I know that others have said they are having YouTube problems. When I add a URL link to a YT video, all I'm getting an "Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content." on the page. Using FireBug, it shows "SWFObject is not defined" with this as the actual code:

<div class="field field-type-emvideo field-field-videolink">
  <div class="field-items">
    <div class="field-item odd">
      <div id="video-cck-youtube-flash-wrapper-1">
           Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content.
      </div>
          <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
            var so = new SWFObject("http://www.youtube.com/v/x5WwR_hmYF4&amp;rel=0&border=1&amp;fs=1", "video-cck-youtube-flash-1", "425", "350", "7");
            so.write("video-cck-youtube-flash-wrapper-1");
          </script>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I cant get the embedded videos to work from other sources, but not YouTube. I also noticed that if I tell it to show the thumbnail and teaser, the thumbnail does work.

This is about the 20th time this has been reported- please check the issue queues thoroughly before posting new issues.

The problem is with your version of swfobject. Either turn that module off or change to version 1.5.

I saw the other posts, but my problem is that I never even installed swfobject. That's why i didn't understand why I would still have the same problem.

I found what was causing the trouble here. I forgot that there was a setting in the 'Embedded Media Field configuration' for using SWFObject. If I disabled that setting, the YouTube videos work.
I would like to keep that set so can use SWFObject if possible. Is there anything I can do to fix that?
