 * Ok, I’ve tried high and low, but still keep having problems embedding certain
   videos into my Spun-themed homepage.
 * I succeded in adding a Vimeo video by using:
 * `[embed]<a href="https://vimeo.com/5726800">https://vimeo.com/5726800</a>[/embed]`
 * But I can’t seem to embed a clip from moveclip.com. For some reason using:
 * `[embed]http://movieclips.com/2XWx-requiem-for-a-dream-movie-were-on-our-way/[/
   embed]`
 * won’t work. Neither does using the embed code function to get the following code:
 *     ```
       <div class="movieclips-player" style="background:#000; margin:0; padding:7px 0; width:560px; -moz-border-radius:7px; -webkit-border-radius:7px; border-radius:7px;">
       <object width="560" height="304" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://static.movieclips.com/embedplayer.swf?shortid=2XWx" style="display:block; overflow:hidden;">
       <param name="movie" value="http://static.movieclips.com/embedplayer.swf?shortid=2XWx" />
       <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
       <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
       <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
       <embed src="http://static.movieclips.com/embedplayer.swf?shortid=2XWx" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="304" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>
       </object>
       <div style="display:block; margin:7px 0 0; padding:0; width:560px; height:27px; text-align:center; font:normal 11px/11px Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif; color:#666;">
       <a href="http://movieclips.com/2XWx-requiem-for-a-dream-movie-were-on-our-way/" style="display:inline; font-size:12px; line-height:1.23em; color:#00AEFF; text-decoration:none; background:#000;">

 * I’m probably overlooking something really simple, I just don’t know what.
 * Thanks a lot for any feedback.

 * Does the issue occur on the Twenty Twelve theme with all plugins deactivated?

 * Ok, for some reason it helped changing theme to Twenty Twelve and back again.
   If someone knows right away why this is so, I’d appreciate the insight. Otherwise,
   let’s just called it resolved.
 * Andrew, thanks a bunch for prompt feedback.
