http://drupalmultimedia.org/video/test-issue-queue-0 and http://drupalmultimedia.org/video/test-emfield-issue-queue both totally work for me. have you run your updates?

hmm... I'm using it in a lightbox type of implementation where it pops up an iframe. Here are the same files on our site -- https://elearning.psu.edu/elearning/drupalcamp-montreal-presentations-po...

DB's up to date too.

curiouser and curiouser -- works fine w/ shadowbox for me as well at http://drupalmultimedia.org/ -- does it work with other providers? i'm scratching my head over why it wouldn't work...

Yeah, I've got other areas on the site that are using both vimeo and youtube videos w/o issue... :\ I'd hate to do so but do you think if I uninstalled and reinstalled it that it might help? I'm also having issues removing the videos by removing the link after the fact. It keeps the record in the DB w/o fully removing it so it still shows up (incorrectly) in views. is that a known issue too or could it be a DB error somewhere back in time showing up now?

@btopro: you can always try reloading the data -- you can either edit and resave the nodes manually, or do it w/ bulk operations from the content admin page (i think the drop-down says 'reload embedded media data' or something).

for the records in the db, if you blank out a field, it should also clear it in the db. that's really odd behavior, but i've seen lots of other odd behavior over the years, so wouldn't be too surprised :P can you try saving a node twice (blank it out once, save it, blank it again, and ensure it's empty)? it reminds me of similar problems i remember vaguely from the past... *sigh*

Hmm.. The reload / double save worked for clearing the DB values issue but no such luck on Blip.tv loading up the player correctly... here's everything that's running that I've been able to cause this that might influence it...

HTTPS
Drupal 6.13
CCK 6.x-2.5
Embedded Media Field 6.x-1.x-dev (2009-Oct-21) (had the same issue w/ stable release)
jQuery Update 6.x-2.x-dev (2009-Apr-23)

field_video_data is also null (N;) in the database, not sure if that helps video_field_version is also set to 2 for both of them

I have the same issue using emvideo and lightbox. During the preview, everything shows up correctly, but on the final node there is no thumb image and the video is also not playing. It happens not only with blip.tv, but also with a few other providers.

I'm closing this- as far as I can tell nobody's been able to reproduce. Anyway, the provider is now being maintained at Media: BlipTV.
