how to embed a video (non-youtube) | WordPress.com Forums

Hi there,

Trying to embed the video from this link: http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/815709/naive-melody-you-oughta-know-live.jhtml#id=1689765 onto my blog. However, the embed function doesn’t seem to work – when I paste it into my blog and then preview it, it just shows up as the code vs. generating the video.

Code as listed on the site is: <embed src=”http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:815709/cp~id%3D1689765%26vid%3D815709%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A815709&#8243; width=”512″ height=”288″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowFullScreen=”true” allowScriptAccess=”always” base=”.”></embed> <div style=”margin:0px;padding:4px;width:500px;text-align:center;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;”>The Lumineers – Naive Melody (You Oughta Know Live) – The Lumineers Music Videos – Live Performances</div>

Is there something I need to do to make this wordpress friendly?

Any help would be appreciated!
