Question about Beez 3 vs Protostar

[Ggray922]

Hi,

Recently on my site I made a switch to the Protostar template instead of Beez 3 template. I noticed immediately that Protostar had fewer errors when working with third party extensions.

What I've done on the Beez 3 template was I used the custom html module to display some [youtube] videos. On the Beez 3 template they appear and play however when I switch to the Protostar template, where I had the video placed previously, it now says this:

Firefox

A plugin is needed to display this content

Chrome

This plugin is not supported

I cannot figure out what plugin it's referring too. I've checked and all my Java, Adobe Flash updates are up to date.

So I was wondering if the protostar template does not support [youtube] videos through a custom html module? If so, should I use an extension instead?

Any ideas on this would be of great assistance.

Thanks In advance!

A plugin is needed to display this content

But what plugin if adobe flash is up to date??
