I want to embed a video via TVU into a post in my forum (vb 3.7.3)

The script is:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dl.tvunetworks.com/webplayer/myTVU.js?c=channel_number&w=screen_width&h=screen_height&autoplay=y&style=1"></script>

When I copy that straight into the message box, nothing appears.. when I wrap it with
<html> or <embed> or <object>
tags nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing ?

Do you allow html posting on your site (you shouldn't)? It will only 'do' something if you do allow html posting. And that's just a call to a javascript script. I don't think it will do anything if that is all you post (but I'm not a javascript expert at all).

I am the admin, so I can set permissions to allow me to do it, but no one else..

the full HTML to put it into a webpage looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dl.tvunetworks.com/webplayer/myTVU.js?c=640&w=450&h=320&autoplay=1&style=1"></script>

that calls up the player and it should launch.. you can see it active here:

Actually, unless you have a modification installed, you cannot allow html just for an admin.

But, anyway.... are you getting an error on the page? Is it showing up in the page source?
