I am setting up a new diary post, due to go out on Monday afternoon at 3pm. partly I've delayed it because I can't get the 'embed video' block to work.
Here is the draft:

I put the code into the block window and press the 'embed 'button; then either it just goes round in circles, or disappears up into the 'readmore separator' block;

I have updated Easyblog to the latest version in case that was the problem.

Can you help please?
The video itself is ok:

thanks, Robin
Hey Robin,

It looks like there is some issue with the video that you are trying to embed. The "oembed" tags aren't working for this particular video. I am not entirely sure why but perhaps the author of this video is not allowing people to embed this video?

When I tried to click on "Share" on Youtube itself it is showing me this message, http://screencast.com/t/rlCJo47TSC

I tried embedding a different video and it works just fine.

Hello Mark,
You were absolutely right - that was the problem. It was my fault, as it was me who uploaded the video to Youtube!.
Thanks for discovering my error, and sorry for the bother.

Cheers, Robin
