YouTube formatting not working

[backontrack]

Hi all.

When I try to look at an embedded YouTube video, all I get is a black rectangle.



Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks.

I've also been getting this while at home.

Thanks.

Have you tried refreshing the page? Clearing the cache?
EDIT: Just realised, videos posted on here. I have this issue also.

Are you are posting the full YouTube url rather than just the QI9k0EV69 bit. The code is coming up as invalid though?

Sorry misread, thought you meant posting rather than viewing. Viewing is working fine, but the above YouTube code in your screenshot is invalid may not help!

I've got this problem as well, using Google Chrome on my laptop.

For me it's still happening on a different laptop...
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
...and on Microsoft Edge too, so it's not just Chrome (which I was using in my first post). Logging out doesn't stop it either...

I think it may have something to with YouTube moving over to HTML5 and Google moving away from Adobe Flash.

The forum software might still be trying to process it as Flash?

That seems likely, I agree.

That's what's happening. Will have a look into whether there's an easy solution but I suspect not (in the immediate term ) as the version of vBulletin we run is no longer officially supported other than for security updates.

Another forum I use has gone over to a newer version and it's awful to the point posts have dropped by around 90%!

After some trial and error, this seems to work - tested on Chrome (Windows & Android), IE and Edge...

If the original YouTube URL is like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGm0klp3uW0

then just put the last part, the video ID, (EGm0klp3uW0 in this case) between 'youtube' tags, like this:

[youtube]EGm0klp3uW0[/youtube]

...to get this on the page:

[youtube]EGm0klp3uW0[/youtube]

The embedded player seems to be HTML5 on Chrome and Edge, and Flash on IE (on my Win 10 PC at least).

(youtube)EGm0klp3uW0(/youtube)

but with the () replaced by []

That was always the way (FYI you can use noparse tags to hide formatting)

I've no trouble on Firefox on Linux. I don't have flash installed so they must finally be using HTML5

Thanks - modified my post with the NOPARSE tags.
