I just made this and it works: but what I haven't seen before is the youtube logo to the top left of the player?



If I set the alignment to the right, as you have done, I do see the movie initially resize then snap back to the player, then it seems to work OK... see page 2



Something not quite right...

Julian,



Can you see http://datalib.edina.ac.uk/mantra/ ? If you select any one of the LOs e.g. Data management plans (first one with some videos in) you can see the problem. Meanwhile I'll check why you cannot access the other links.



Thanks

Cuna

Those links don't work: I get 403: Forbidden. Might be our end of stuff?

Julian, Ron,



I wonder if you could help us with a problem which seems to have just occured with our YouTube video embeds in our learning objects for the MANTRA course which is live at the moment. They were working OK until recently when the sizing of the videos has gone out of proportion. I have been using the old embed code which was working OK before. You can see the problem below:

http://datalib.edina.ac.uk:6680/xertetoolkits/preview.php?template_id=37



This problems seems to be occuring with all the YouTube videos. You can have a look at the rest in the course itself:

We have initially tried to upload these videos but the file size was too big for XOT to cope so we have uploaded them onto the YouTube and embeded the code in the LOs instead.



Many thanks.



Cuna
