Google Reader And Embedded Flash Objects

December 15th, 2008 | View Comments

It seems like Google Reader is a little picky when it comes to including and showing embedded flash videos: YouTube movies seem to work fine, but I do not get it to show some other flash movies, e.g. the one shown on wordpress.org for WP 2.7: that one shows fine on my blog as well as on the Feedburner feed – but even though I use the same code for it as I use for YouTube videos, it won’t show in Google Reader.

Take a look at this post in Google Groups.

OK, here is the answer to my problem (quoting):

We have taken a whitelist approach to embedded video, thus we’ll need to include WordPress for its embeds to show up. This should happen in the next Reader release.
