Hi Both,

That's great it now works with the new embed code, thank you very much for your help.

Is there a way that I could check the embed code myself for future reference?

Many thanks,
Emma

Hi,

You would go to http://YOURSERVER/version.txt to find out the version

But, I think that is a very old version of an embed code. Try editing your LO and replacing it with this:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/14KFEJIEUrM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hi John,

I am not sure where to check the version, is it something I can see within the LO itself or the hosting server?

This is the YouTube embed code:
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/14KFEJIEUrM?hl=en_GB&-amp;version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/14KFEJIEUrM?hl=en_GB&-amp;version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Many  thanks,
Emma

Hi Emma,

Hmm sorry about that. Can you tell me what version you are running (find it at /version.txt)

Also, can you tell me what code you are pasting into the (I'm assuming) Youtube page type?

Thank you, this has resolved it so that it is playing in JavaScript but I still get an error on that page:

Hi Emma,

Yes, sorry I should have said. The bug leave the Javascript engine selected but plays in Flash. Toggle it to Flash and then Toggle it back again and all should be swell...

Hi John,

Thanks for your advice, yes it does appear to be playing in the Flash player blue screen and dropdowns, however when I check the properties of the LO it is the JavaScript option that is ticked and not flash?  Here is a screen shot of how it is displaying.

Hi Emma,

When you imported the LO into your own system, is it now launching in the Flash (blueish with the dropdowns at bottom) player?

Its recommended now that you use the Javascript (HTML5) engine. You might need to go into the Properties of the LO and change this as there was a problem in the past that imported content automatically defaulted to Flash.

If it isn't the Flash player that is launching then can you send a screenshot please?

Hi there,

Our University's IT team have recently installed Xerte onto one of our test servers.

I am testing out material formally created in the sandpit with this version, it all displays fine except for the multimedia content, I have a page where I have embedded a youtube clip.  It now launches the clip in a new window but has the word undefined also appearing, any ideas how I could resolve this?

Many thanks,
Emma
