On a page I have a rich text editor. As of lately I get an error when I try to embed a video through the "embed third party media" icon. When I paste my youtube link into the url field and click in the preview field, i get a message "error". We haven't done any updates to the site lately, so this is pretty strange. Any ideas?
Which version of Umbraco are you using? Seems to be working in most versions here, although I did run into a problem recently with the latest 6.1.
You might try running Fiddler or similar to check the requests after you hit tab on the url field - it does a couple webservice calls, maybe if you inspect the output of those you can get a better error message?
i used fiddler and the problem was that I removed the umbraco.webservice.dll (forgot about that), due to the security issue recently. I updated the installation with the new dll file and everything works fine now.

Hi Tom,
i used fiddler and the problem was that I removed the umbraco.webservice.dll (forgot about that), due to the security issue recently. I updated the installation with the new dll file and everything works fine now.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !
Ah, interesting - I didn't realize the plugin used those webservices. Thanks for posting that, probably will come in handy soon :)
Tom, my best guess would be it uses the webservice.dll to generate the preview in the RTE.
If that's the case then how do we fix this issue in a clean install of Umbraco 6.1.3? Do I need to add that .dll or is this on the bug list?
is working on a reply...
