I have Apptha video player component and it generates it's own embed code for the videos.
Unfortunately Easy Blog strips the code and the videos aren't working.
Check the url:
http://www.mydreamwedding.ie/weddingblog/entry/wedding-reception/a-few-words-the-wedding-speeches

This is code generated by Apptha component

<embed id="player" src="http://www.mydreamwedding.ie/components/com_contushdvideoshare/hdflvplayer/hdplayer.swf" flashvars="id=44&baserefJHDV=http://www.mydreamwedding.ie/&playlist_auto=false&Preview=http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/M1pnKYw3X94/maxresdefault.jpg&showPlaylist=false&embedplayer=true&shareIcon=false&email=false&zoomIcon=false&playlist_autoplay=false" style="width:670px;height:380px" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>



And this is what's left upon save:

<embed id="player" style="width: 670px; height: 380px;" src="components/com_contushdvideoshare/hdflvplayer/hdplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="150"></embed>



Can you help please?

Hello john,

It's most likely that the WYSIWYG editor is stripping these codes for security purposes. This is to avoid your authors from injecting malicious codes on the site. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Hello John,

I have just tried this with Joomla articles and it's also stripping out the flashvars. I believe the WYSIWYG editor is actually stripping it when you toggle between the source and the WYSIWYG mode.

Hello John,

Hm, you need to try this on normal Joomla articles first and see if it reacts the same way. If it does, then the editor is actually stripping those codes

Hello John,

Sorry, was a little occupied with lots of meeting and missed your post earlier Hm, if you can't actually embed this in Joomla, there's actually no work around this because EasyBlog utilizes the same editor as Joomla does
