    Hi,

    For the past couple of weeks, YouTube videos that others have posts will not load on my Android 5.1.1 phone using latest chrome. I can see the rest of the posts' comment and the space where the video should be.

    Also as posted in Myrddins feedback thread, when I try to embed, i can see the video box, but it has an error message.

    All works OK on opera, ....but............ Opera is shìt.


    Cheers,

    Itb

    Also, what's the deal with embedding youtube videos on the touch site?

    Do you have to do it the old fashioned way by chopping off everything before v=?

    Seems the tags can't deal with the lack of query string. Reinserting the ?v= makes it work. So [noparse]
    [/noparse] gives you

    Ken's workaround is probably simpler and better.

    What you have in the link http://youtu.be/b84MUxP7WIM is a link to the page, rather than the video object itself for use in embedding.
