Ah..ok :)
The iframe version with the "http" works. ( for Forum / Groups )

But why works the embed code without the "http" in the "normal" Newsfeed ?
Looks like redundant code in Oxwall ( 2 different functions for the same thing ? )

Eric, the issue with youtube videos within media panel ( forum, for example) is being fixed by our developers.

Videos within newsfeed are built  using another functionality, therefor they work there.

Guys, we have fixed the issue with youtube videos within the media panel ( when you post blogs, forum topics, for example).

What to do.

1. Download the .txt file attached to this reply.
2. Rename it to jevix.class.php on your computer.
3. Open your control panel>>go to ow_libraries/jevix and replace jevix.class.php with the  new downloaded one.

You are done =). Try to add video on your forum.

Let me know if you face any issues.

Hi,
i try this patch and i think it works :)

the only bad thing is the Preview  ^^ ( Groups / Forum )
When i put the embed code in the window and press insert ...it shows nothing in the "Post Body"

When i save the post ... the video is saved.
i see the Video only after save.
