Youtube video embedding.

All that cutting out reminded me (not that I wanted reminding) of my Biopsy a couple of weeks ago - don't think that was filmed though thank goodness.

Sorry i forgot if you paste a URL it automatically hyperlinks and embeds it. I've changed it now

I just picked one at random, note to self, check links before posting LOL.

Lol I wasn't expecting you to actually click it. More fool me.

I didn't click it, it was staring me in the face when I read the thread.

Many thanks to @emanuele .

Don't know if it helps but I fixed Chris' video in "George Street II" by using the 'share' link that has the address "http://youtu.be/..." rather than pasting the usual "http://www.youtube.com/..." link.

I found that whereas I used to remove the 's' from https, I now just leave the 's' in and the vids embed just fine

I just use the 3 legged link icon and click copy link. Seem to work OK.

That is a way around the problem Malc, but copying and pasting the page address used to work fine too until Youtube decided to 'male chicken' (changed by forum) it up

God knows why they messed about with it. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

I've been having success by using the last part of the gobbledegook (GVuLwayXX) bit, not the bit immediately after /watch/UK etc but the later goobledegook and then altering the url to start with
http://youtu.be/

So what was https://www.youtube.com/watch etc etc just becomes
http://youtu.be/GVulwayXX etc

The answer seems to be DON'T copy and paste the url at the top of your browser but click on the "Share" button to get a correct URL.

And when copying the "youtu.be" link from the "share" button on the original YouTube page for the video, remember to remove the "s" from "https":

(with "https" - no preview, just a link)

(with "http" - video preview)
