In your Platform Pro settings under "blog and posts" under the heading "Post Excerpt or Summary Handling" check the home/blog page. Then simply go to your post and post the video embed code into the excerpt box below the post content box.

i tried it with the setting: Post Excerpt or Summary Handling - Posts/Blog Page - Single Post Pages - Search Results - Category Lists - Post Archives (all of them are checked then i create a new post with the youtube link in excerpt. but i still only see the link to youtube in the overview instead the videplayer (link to overview of "test2 post" (http://beli.xn--lw-fka.ch/).

Hi Beli - You have a couple of options here. First, I would recommend adding it to the custom excerpt section, which appears below the main content box of any post add/edit screen. Second Option: "Settings->Blog and Posts->Full Post Content" check "Posts/Blog Page" and uncheck the option you listed above for "Posts/Blog Page". This will show the full content of the post. You can cut off where you want the excerpt to end by using

<!-- more -->

. Obviously this isn't as "backwards compatible" if you have multiple posts already created. Third option: use a plugin like "Advanced Excerpt".
