SiftBot hates LiveLeak?
Trying to embed a LiveLeak.com video, but the site won't validate the Embed code. I've checked the FAQ, tried posting it a dozen different ways, but no joy.
At the risk of losing the submission, I'll hand over the link to see if someone can tell me what's up.

Strange. Both embeds (General and Blogs) work for me.
What does the validator tell you?
The embed code you submitted does not appear to be valid
Tried both General and Blogs.
Go ahead and submit it, if you like. This one obviously wasn't meant for me.
The General embed for me is:
Hmm. Tried the embed you posted and that worked too.
Try removing the object tags so you get this:
That might do it.
Negative, Ghost Rider.
Am I on some kind of time-out here? I tries to be a good sifter!
Looks like we will have to wait for some code ninjas to show up.
I think it's a gold-level thing. From the faq...

Whoa, Sifty, my bad. No reason to crack wise there, I forgot how literal you are. I coulda fried your chips with that little list there.

Shouldn`t be. Liveleak is part of the accepted standard hosts.
Maybe I should sacrifice hundreds of dollars to the mighty SiftBot in supplication? Just in case...
dammit roguewrx, that is just awesome LOL, I cannot test the embed, becasue my queue is maxxed out, but keep trying...what browser are you using? I use FireFox, but try something else, and if you get up on the here, let me know I will upvote that for sure
roguewrx: Good video to have here. Please let us know when you finally post it so we can upvote it quickly!
Tried with FireFox and IE. No luck, same message. It's not the browser, gotta be something with my account.
LiveLeak recently changed their player, so maybe VideoSift doesn't recognize the new player code as legit for sub-Gold members. That's my theory. Evidence: Look at the thumbnail image for "Fighter jets of the world" above the video on this page. It's the SiftBot thumbnail, which only shows up when posting a video that isn't on the approved list.
I think it's something that dag and lucky need to fix.
I always thought sub-Gold were limited to YouTube and Google Videos to keep pr0n out of the queue.
^Nope: Look to the sidebar and see the Box titled "Video Hosts". There's 16 approved hosts at this time, including LiveLeak.

Thanks, kronosposeidon! Sifters rule!
Delete everything in the code except the part, and try that. If that doesn't work, put the embed inside a <div></div>. One of those two has always worked for me.
