Why isn’t oembed showing the youtube video?
I’m using the following code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>FriendsConnect | Find Friends</title>

 $(document).ready(function() {
    $("button").button();
    $(".radio").buttonset();

            $(".oembed").oembed("http://www.flickr.com/photos/14516334@N00/345009210/");
    $("input:button").button();
  });
</script>
    <style type="text/css">

        {
            width: 83px;
        }
        .style2
        {
            width: 144px;
        }
        #Button1
        {
            font-size: 9px;
        }
        a:link {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000000;
}
a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #091419;
}
a:visited {
  color: #091419;
}
a:hover {
  text-decoration: underline;
  color: #091419;
}
    </style>
<style type="text/css">
html,
body {background-color: transparent;}
</style>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INVdbXTuPVI&feature=feedu" class="oembed">ssss</a>
<div id="container"></div>
</body>
</html>

And for some reason it won’t show the embedded player. Why is this?

    I think it’s because some videos are not oembed/json enabled.

    If you try to embed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDOYN-6gdRE, it works. But the video you are trying to embed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INVdbXTuPVI doesn’t work.

    You get 401 Unauthorized for the first link and json data for the second link below:

    http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INVdbXTuPVI
    http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDOYN-6gdRE

    See http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14377 for more details on this.
