RE: Why doesn't the YT link tool work for me? What am I doing wrong?

Youtube has changed over the last year or two which might have something to do with the problem. I can view either of your links in a browser without any problem. I tried uploading one of my videos which is mp4. I used the https link and got the same result as you. I used the filename (GX0101etc) instead and got the same result. There are a number of other users who have the black box with a play arrow so it's not just you. But there are a lot who post youtube and have not problem. Maybe it would help to send a private message to one of those (who you know is in the same country) and ask if they could give you any suggestions?

Hi, give it a try WITHOUT the link to youtube, I think that is added automatically. So just enter ud9GrEcbLlE. Just checked with an older one from me and when I go to edit the entry that is what it shows in the data field.

ReinerS, you're right, thank you so much, that´s it, now it works, but I would never have thought of that, sometimes the solution is so simple that you simply never think of it !

You don't have to think about it, since it's simply highlighted in the upload field, under the field where you can enter the part of the YouTube link ;)

I didn't notice it being highlighted because it just looks like a faint gray shadow on my monitor; it should better be highlighted in a bright, vibrant color !
