YouTube Video Not Showing

Hi Ralf,

I listed a new product last week for the first time since the changes to TradeBit and the YouTube video that tells more information about the product is not showing up.

Here's the link to my product listing page:
[www.tradebit.com]

Thanks,
Tamara

Tamara, there is a DASH in the video url, that is messing up the 3rd party software we use. I have no idea, how fast martin can fix that! I will notify him and we will try to avoid the "-" problem!

Thanks, Ralf!

I didn't notice the "-" in the url.

Also, when you click the "Share" button on a YouTube video the URL you're given looks like this:
http ://youtu.be/WvmkSE-lJBM (I added a space after the http so it doesn't convert to a link)
and it doesn't seem to work with TradeBit either, but it could be that pesky "-" in the url

The problem should be fixed now.
The issue was not the minus, it was the new shorten URL address of Youtube.

The new URL looks like this:
[youtu.be]

And the old was:
[www.youtube.com]

I modified the code in that way, that both URL are supported.

Thanks, but it's still not working for me.

I tried to switch out the url to the new http ://youtu.be/WvmkSE-lJBM but when I click the Save File button (in PowerAdmin) the url gets changed back to the original http ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvmkSE-lJBM and the video is still not showing on my product listing page.

EDIT: Tried it in Easy Admin with the same result...no video showing even tho' the url is entered.

Please help!

Thanks,
Tamara
