I am trying to embed a video in my Drupal 6 installation using the 'create video' menu and 'Embedded Video:' field but keep receiving the following error message:

You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code.

I have tried entering the URL http://youtu.be/1sjonW8G61I and the embed code <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1sjonW8G61I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> into the embedded video field but no luck.

Does anyone know of why this wont work? I'm trying to add the video to my site NUMNews.co.uk

Thanks for reading and hopefully someone has the answer here!

Earlier versions of the Embedded Media field didn't support the short form YouTube URL - try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sjonW8G61I instead.

This issue is described at: http://drupal.org/node/1126914 so I'll mark this as a duplicate.

Thanks, David
