Embedding YouTube videos

[SumnerH]

I just made a couple of fixes to youtube embedding:

1. Embedding https links (rather than plain http) was broken; fixed.
2. Embedding mobile links (m.youtube.com, rather than youtube.com or www.youtube.com) was broken; fixed.

Hopefully this fixes most people's issues with embedding youtube videos; if you have problems, post a link here to the post where things aren't working properly and I'll try to fix them.

I can't see youtube videos in any thread, posted by me, or anyone else since yesterday. I'm on a work PC with an outdated version of flash and firefox that I can't update, but they all worked before, and work on the youtube site.
 
I get "This video is currently unavailable" when I try to play embeds.

It's broken for me as well (Mac, FF/Chrome).  It's not apparent from the front end what the issue is.

Looks like a bad wrapper.

This:

<iframe class="EmbeddedVideo" id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="https://youtube.com/embed/?html5=1&fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen /></iframe>

should be this:

<iframe class="EmbeddedVideo" id="ytplayer" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="https://youtube.com/embed/XrdPIE6frdg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen /></iframe>

Whoops, I broke it when I added support for https and mobile (m.youtube.com) sites.
 
Should be fixed now, sorry about that.

I can't post them anymore.

Test using paste as plain text, but I never saw before the huge break on Ue's last pitch (at 1:34). My God.

If you click on the options icon at the far right of the toolbar, you can turn on "Paste as plain text by default".

Apparently following directions in the pinned thread works!
