Hi Benedickt

Its not clear what version of Moodle you have. It probably is 3.x not 7.x (because we did not get that far yet) . But it could also be 2.x or even 1.x

The most likely cause of the problem you describe is double filtering. This happens when two filters try to filter the same thing, one after the other. That would be the Moodle multimedia plugins filter and the Videoeasy filter. In the case of a video link -> video player, it really messes things up.

You could try disabling the multimedia plugins filter for video. Actually the recent templates should all mark up any players they create so that double filtering does not happen. But you are using old versions so its hard to know what you have available there.

This help doc for the Poodll filter covers your scenario, the information all applies to VideoEasy too, so you can follow all the advice in there.
