 Hi, We can upload videos in the video section but the youtube embed function never works. Almost immediately the "videO UPLOAD FAILED (VIDEO ERROR)" appears. I have ffmpeg.exe set to 777. I've tried the example link and others to make sure it wasn't just a problem with a single video. What are some other things that could cause this? How can I further troubleshoot this? I have full access to the server so I can do anything needed... thanks! |
Could be a couple of things: White space in the youtube embed URL Embedding has been disable Youtube video flagged requiring login Description field has invalid/"not allowed" characters or description character limit exceeded Tag field character limit exceeded or contains invalid/"not allowed" characters Port not open to allow access to retrieve video from Youtube (contact host) Try: A different youtube video Typing your own description and/or tag Nothing to see here |
You cant give own description in, directley after you click upload the error is coming up. and ends all process. All right are perfect. Kids first |
I have 7.0.2 installed with no problems add videos or embedding YouTube. Can you provide the URL you are trying to embed? Nothing to see here |
try on http://fordteamnoord.nl (dutch) Must be accepted tru administrator. Kids first |
Same error here. I've checked almost everything (spaces in url, and so on)... but.. where can we enable/disable the video embedding feature? Thanks in Advance, Robert |
You can only embed YouTube videos. If you want to turn this feature off (in 7.0.2), go to Admin Panel. Modules, Videos, Settings tab and remove the checkmark from Embed (at the very bottom). Nothing to see here |

Hello Zarcon! And I have such problem. When I tried to turn off embed feature, I could not find such chekmark at Admin Panel/Modules/Videos/Settings. Is it possible if some files was not changed when I uploaded upgrade files? May be, becouse of not changing some of files we have such problem as embed errer? |
The weird thing is.. in one site it's working perfectly and the other doesn't work. Same version, same configurations parameters..., same youtube url etc. Some other thing to check? Thanks, Robert |
Just in case someone can get help from this .... One always need to check the obvious things first... In my case I set ..flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe to 755... now it's working like a charm!. Robert |
Hello now I can embed YouTube videos. I've found the mistake which I did. I did changes in flash/modules/video/inc/function.inc.php to get thumbnail of the video later then to 2 seconds from the beginning. In the functions grabImages and getGrabImageTmpl I changed variables $iSecond = 0 to $iSecond = 2. Now I left $iSecond = 2 only in function grabImages. In the function getGrabImageTmpl I returned $iSecond = 0. That's all and everything is OK I can embed videos and I can get thumbs from video's 2nd second (it means now I will never get black thumbnails from some videos, which has black frames in the begining) And you try remember if you changed files which belongs video module. Regards. |
Both solutions did not work. ffmpeg is set to 755 as the message in this post suggests and I changed the function.inc.php but still no luck. An immediate Video Upload Failed (video error) appeared. The permissions are set correcting for the video at Youtube but still no embedding. FYI, I can not upload videos using Normal or the Flash uploader either. |
same problem here.. can't embed video's , same error. I didn't make any changes like Miravzal and I don't recognize any of the causes Zarcon told. my ffmpeg.exe file is set on 755... but maybe I installed the wrong ffmpeg.exe? couldnt find the one for linux at the site for dolphin 7.02 I guess this one was basic in the download of dolphin 7.02.. and why is it not possible to embed videos from different sites? Why only you tube? |
I'm also having this issue, here's the breakdown: Dolphin 7.0.2 ffmeg has been tried with 755, 777, and all directories leading to it with the same All accepted file formats uploaded, all fail with the same error message YouTube embed also does not work, same error message I see a lot of threads on here about it, most of them recent, and when someone creates a new one they're told to check the others. Yet in the others not everyone gets the issue solved, and most of the replies I've read are after they try what worked for someone before, yet they get chastised for not searching. Hrmph. |
Well guys I have try every suggestions from you, but all I got is the same "Video upload Error" . This is happen by embed and uploading. Kids first |
Pretty pathetic that this doesn't work, still. |
Yes, it is pathetic. I believe the trouble ticket was closed with a comment that "well, it worked for me." or something along those lines... hehe |
In my case its was the problem of two ffmpegs. There was already a ffmpeg running on my server. After change the patch for it (thanks Leonied) its working perfect. Kids first |
I'm having a problem with this the youtube embed as well, but here is what I am finding in my error file. Does anyone have any clue what the problem here is?
[18-Apr-2011 11:30:33] PHP Warning: copy() [<a href='function.copy'>function.copy</a>]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in atruckers/flash/modules/video/inc/functions.inc.php on line 30 |
I am not sure if others are having the problem that I have wth that. the only I can get the URL's from youtube to work is delete the www from the URL then it works fine. I am using V-7.0.5 Dolphin. |
Hi, I'm not sure if this would help any, I have D-7 and when I paste youtube codes / embed, I have to use the old code that youtube offers. (You’ll see it in the embed area) I use to have problems with embedding until I tried using the old codes. Now everything works fine. Please disregard if this is not what you were looking for. |

Dude...I think I figured it out... I was having no luck embedding my youtube videos until I realized I had the video marked as "Private" on youtube. I made it public and it loaded perfectly.
Just make sure your Youtube video is ALWAYS PUBLIC not Private.
