    This one is complicated, I’ll explain as best I can.

    Theres a weblog on SiteA whose entries contain a playa field. This field is used to relate an entry from a weblog on SiteB.

    So far so good. But the related entry itself contains a playa field pointing to another weblog on SiteB. This part does not work.

    I assumed I could get around this by using embeds, passing entry_id and calling and weblog:entries more or less as described here.

    Instead, the weblog:entries call fails. According to template debugging, the call returns no results. Tried lots of variations, including passing the “site” parameter, and using weblog=“site:weblog” syntax. Nothing works (although I able to get it working with any entry from SiteA, which makes me think it’s a MSM complication).

    I hope this was clear enough. Is is possible to do what I’m attempting at all?

    Spurlock,

    Playa is a third-party add-on and as such you will have to continue your troubleshooting in their forum I’m afraid.
