Music videos off YouTube

[Logan]

Why doesn't the music videos play on this forum ? Have to go to YouTube to play it.

Can you send me a link to the problem thread please and I'll take a look? It could be because the YT video creator disabled embedding - some people do that which means it can only be played on the Youtube site.

Thanks Ian, i can't do a link but the thread is called, What music are you listening to.

Just had a look and I get the same "video unavailable" for some of them - it's because the video author has disabled "embedding" of the video on other sites (as they don't get advertising revenue if they do that). Most video uploaders don't do this, but a handful do.

Thank you Ian for taking a look, I understand why some do this, thanks again.
