This is some working code from another website:

You may need to check you have the correct ports etc open, as in that thread. Also check content expiration etc.

Thanks for the advice and that code. It worked with just a few adjustments and I think I found out why it didn't work in the previous code.

No worries - the embed/src stuff is the worst part of web design if you ask me.
