Something wrong with YouTube links?

Post by Lysus »

It seems on the PC all the embedded YouTube links are black bars, but on mobile they show up as videos and work just fine. I'm not a computer guy, but is that a problem with adobe or something? (Whatever fairy dust makes embedded vids on ppBBs work?)

I don't believe it's just me with this problem otherwise I wouldn't post anything.

Youtube have change the video embed links/path. Old links where http://www.youtube.com/v/... new is http://www.youtube.com/embed/...

Newer firefox 47/48 change automaticly correct path of videos, but i dont know other browsers behave.

Yeah, it's youtube's fault!

Works fine for Explorer and Firefox, but not for Safari or Chrome. I'm sure there will be a fix out soon )

Cool. It's more annoying than anything else, just making sure there wasn't something I'm missing on my end. Some update or whatev.

I find it amazing that this sort of things can happen to be honest, I'm sure there a more complications than I give it credit it for, but Safari and Chrome aren't exactly little used browsers :)

Its like at work we often need multiple different browsers on our computers because some work on one but not the other (for example, our finance system doesn't work on the new version IE, but there a system the doctors use to record their progress that only works on the latest IE, so we need Chrome to make sure both work (there are also more examples), it just seems crazy
