Hello Aiilia,

I've got a "page not found" notification following your 1-4 instructions, any other options?, or maybe I should update the video plugin since it is a free script.

Rainier, you should have all plugins and core updated to 1.5.1 version.

Let me know if  you will be getting 404 not found error even after everything is updated.

Hello, it is working fine now, I just used the old embed code in your Step 1 instruction.



I'll also try "Use HTTPS" and "Enable privacy-enhanced mode" later.

Thanks a lot

Is there any plugin so that users can share video url from like Youtube, Metacafe, Google Video and etc. in stead of uploading?

>>Hi I keep getting this error as shown below while attempting to use youtube embeds ,even if trying to use old embed I still get errors.. any advice welcome thank you.

- can you paste what you currently have in your Oxwall's .htaccess file?
- can you make sure that you have set 777 permissions recursively to ow_pluginfiles and ow_userfiles folders?
- check your server's error logs, do you see any errors related to 403 or Forbidden...issue?

Abu, "Video" plugin we currently have, allows adding video embed codes instead of uploading video.
