I have installed emfield and first played around with some youtube videos. Very nice, everything work fine.

Because I want to use it on a site were I use Myspace Videos, I tried myspace videos next.

But I didnt get myspace videos work.

I always get the message "You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code."

I tried for example
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=433...
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=43381231

so it looks like myspace has different url for their video. Perhaps some arent yet supported in the embed video modul?

I got the same error in the alpha-3 version.
I tried with or without the initial http:// or using the embedded code. No lucky...

Hi I have notice if you add "&a mp;" (without the spacing) to the url, it will work.

eg,

Original myspace video url
vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=44988572

and change to
vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&a mp;VideoID=44988572

hope it helps.

UPDATE*: After testing, seems to only work for some videos. Hope someone have a solution. thanks

leanazulyoro- please do not change priorities of items you are not working on. Also- this issue has been discussed and diagnosed many times before, so please do a search through the issue queue for errors related to conflicting flash/javascript modules. I'm guessing your problem is the swfobject version you're using, but either way that belongs in another issue, not this one.

I just updated it to alpha6 and got the same error. I tested it using swfobject and without it but no difference.

However - another thing the help text quotes: "The following services are provided: " - ant no providers is mentioned? But I have clicked youtube, daily motion, google vid and several others to be active? Maybe the parsers isnt loaded

EDIT: Sorry - i forgot to add the content types in settings. Fixed now

"You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code."

Seems you have enter a wrong URL address or you don't have the authority to access the URL of video.
Don't know if this can tutorial help but worth a try - "How to add Youtube video to MySpace blog post"
