I ran into this problem and discovered that if I deactivated all of my plugins, ran the automatic upgrade, and then reactivated all my plugins the install went without a hitch.

I logged into my blog today and noticed there was an upgrade available. I was absolutely thrilled to see the rumours are true that you can do a browser-based automatic upgrade. I can verify it works like a charm and I can’t believe it took this long to get implemented!

On a side note,  if you haven’t upgraded to wordpress 2.7 you REALLY should. I just did and the admin interface is a generational leap. Absolutely fantastic!

Copy the code Fox News gives you for embedding the video under the share button. In a previous post I noted how to properly embed a flash video using the WordPress pb-embedflash plugin. Using that plugin, we are going to tell it the address of the video is the value of the fox news’ code’s src + ? + value of flashvars from the embed video code. 

For example if the src was : “foxnews.video.example”
and the flashvar was: “playerId=5&referralObject=9”
The url we give to the pb-embedflash plugin would be:
foxnew.video.example?playerId=5&referralObject=9
(note the question mark separating the two parts as this IS needed.)

We now have the foxnews player and our selected video embedded into our blog post in a manner which passes XHTML Strict validation. Check out my previous post for a live example of an embedded fox news video.
