I have embedded video from youtube plenty of times before, but for some reason I have been failing at it for the past few days. I tried different videos, and I also built an empty .html dedicated to getting an embedded video to show, but nothing worked. I am using the embed button from youtube. I tried with the old embed code and the new one, and it still wont show the video. The most I get is an empty white box. I'm using FF, IE, and chrome. Total failure. Heres what ive reduced it to:
<html>
<p>hello world</p>
<object width="560" height="315">
<param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/P1LNiD88690?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/P1LNiD88690?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"></embed>
</object>
</html>
This doesnt work nor does the version. I also tried this on another computer and it still didnt work. What am I missing??

I copied the HTML into a JSFiddle, and it seems to work:

Maybe it is the editing that

did to your post that makes it work.Is there another way to reproduce the error?
