Still no embedded YouTube videos to be seen in my feed reader(s).

Problem with my WordPress 2.7, my embedded YouTube videos, and my feed reader(s).

Still a mystery.

No word yet from the WordPress authorities.

A tipster tells me that the plugin “Smart YouTube” solves the problem.

I won’t install the plugin before I get reliable info from the WordPress authorities.

UPDATE: If I embed the YouTube video in the “HTML” area, and don’t click on “Visual” before publishing, all is fine —the YouTube video will end up in the feed reader.

In my last post, I have embedded 7 YouTube videos on prediction markets (featuring Emile Servan-Schreiber of NewsFutures). While they work fine on the post within my web browser, they can’t be seen when that same post is displayed within a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Sage).

At this moment, I have no idea where the problem comes from. I would blame WordPress 2.7. (All was fine with the previous versions of WordPress.) Let me investigate that technical issue. I will post an update to this post, later on.
