I'm having trouble with my other post. I tried to embed 3 videos but when I look at the published post I see the same video 3 times. If I look at it in 'edit' mode I see 3 different videos. I'm just creating this post to see what happens when I embed videos different ways. Any help appreciated!

First, the simple link:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The link to the 'album' on Flickr where these videos are (scroll to the bottom):

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Then, the 'embed'. I'm entering this using the HTML editor so it doesn't get surrounded by other oddities like the 'span' tags. The HTML code comes directly from flickr's share button.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Now I'm embedding a second, different video to see what happens. Also using the HTML editor, with HTML from Flickr.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And finally, I'm pasting the link to the same two videos on youtube, link first, then HTML.

Link:

and embed:

Everything seems to look right in the editor. I saved the HTML in case it's helpful for later diagnostic...

The issue just seems to be with the Flickr embedded videos. The youtube videos appear in the right order. Flickr only shows me the first video twice in a row.

a couple of screenshots: first, in the editor:

where it looks fine.

Next in the 'published' view, where I see (and link to) the same video twice in a row:

It definitely links me back to the first video from either one. What's going on? Is it helpful to include the HTML I saved from the editor? Can I just paste the text and surround it by tags?

Also, fwiw I'm using Chrome Version 40.0.2214.94 (64-bit) on Mac OS X 10.10.1. I'll try w firefox and see if it's the same.

Just curious if you've looked into this or were able to duplicate. Anything I can do to help?
