Problems embedding TED talks?

    I’ve been testing out blocks, and I really like the options on Adv Video. Seems like I can ditch a bunch of embeds, as well as the default video block. Except when I went to embed a TED talk, it doesn’t seem to work, and I’m not sure why. Everything else seems to.

    If I use the regular DEFAULT EMBED, the TED talk shows up, I can even play it in the back end if I wanted to.

    If I use Adv Video, I paste the URL (tried both page URL and TED’s official link URL), and it recognizes the video is there, pulls in the meta data for title, etc., but it won’t show me the video on back end or front end. If I activate a light box, it will SHOW a greyed out version on back-end and front-end but it’s not clickable. I thought it could be the preview won’t show it, but the page above shows it inserted with light box activated, and as I said, it shows the preview image but the video is not playable.

    I thought the adv video block was rather plug and play, can’t figure out why default would play it but adv video won’t. It’s just a URL?

    Hi @polywogg

    Thanks for using the AG plugin.

    Sorry, we should improve the description for that block. It is designed for local videos, plus YouTube and Vimeo videos.

    In the future, it could support more providers.
