YouTube embed plugin fail

HardwareGeek

Starting some time yesterday evening, I started seeing issues with YT videos not embedding. At least sometimes, if I happen to stay on the page long enough (5-10 minutes), the embedded video will eventually appear.

Last night, I pasted a video URL into a post I was writing, but the video was not embedded. I went on to write a TL;DW for it, then posted it. Still no embed. A few minutes later, I edited the post, and while I was editing it, the embedded video appeared. When I read new posts in that thread this morning, the embedded video was not visible.

I'm not the only one seeing this. Last night, someone else (@Gąska?) mentioned videos not embedding.

Hah! I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Something's definitely wrong...

That topic (Song of the Day) was displaying fine last time I was in it.

@loopback0 For me, the older links appear to work but the newer ones do not.

For me, they appear in the preview (eventually) but not in the post...

E20 roll says: Latency

At t=now - largest, I saw only delayed render in preview

At t - largish, I saw inconsistent render of page.

At t - medium, I saw no page render but sometimes preview render

At t - now, as far as I know nothing works, so it's a great time to place blind links to bad places. Please do not correct.

Ah. So since then not.

Thanks for coming forward, that took courage.

Some kind of Youtube API latency problem?

@boomzilla It seems like some are getting embedded and some aren't:

It's not just ones posted yesterday while it was broken that aren't embedding. I see plain links for stuff posted weeks ago, too.

@HardwareGeek when I posted that video, they were all working so it's broken at some point since then

Yeah, there are no errors in our logs. I have changed nothing. This seems like a problem on Youtube's end.

I've disabled the youtube plugin and unblacklisted youtube from iframely. I believe that we fixed the iframely to prevent target spamming which was one reason to switch. We'll see how this goes.
