Inserting videos in blog posts does not seem to be working. If I choose the "embed" option, it works. But if I add a video using just the URL, all I get on the front end is an empty video element:

Clicking "play" on this element does nothing. No console errors.

can you paste a snippet of the text you are using for me to test?

I'm not sure what you mean. I just clicked the video icon in the wysiwyg, pasted the link to the video, and clicked 'insert'.

Switching to the code view of the wysiwyg, I see that it creates the following html:

<figure class="" data-label="watch?v=cRvuSPBSPL4" data-video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRvuSPBSPL4">&nbsp;</figure>

When this post is rendered on the front end, it seems that the <figure> tag is replaced with the following:

<video src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRvuSPBSPL4" controls></video>

which renders as shown in the screenshot above.

The screenshot in the first post is from Chrome. In Firefox I see the following:

The error message says: "Video format or MIME type is not supported"

I tried using the Embedly feature instead. I put in my API key and created a link to the video with the text "embedly" as per the docs, and all I get on the front end is a link that says "embedly".
