Hi Andrew,

Since this evening all youtube video are stopped playing. Is there any changes? Please rectify. The issue is only with other player except original player (Youtube player).

Here is news which may relate to this issue:
----------------------------------------------------
'Over on the YouTube API Blog they’re announcing an upcoming change to video page URLs that is interesting. It’s not a change that video viewers and every day users will notice, but is one that could impact developers–which is why it’s showing up on the API Blog instead of the standard YouTube blog.

The URL is having one standard character replaced with something new. While they are set up so that both URL versions will work for users, the developers using the YouTube API will have to account for the change in their code.

In other words, we’ve secretly replaced your standard URL with Folgers Crystals… let’s see if you notice the difference:

Old format: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylLzyHk54Z0

New format: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=ylLzyHk54Z0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks.

Are all the youtube videos down?
I have checked a few melody sites and can't play youtube videos.
correct me if I am wrong. if youtube videos are still working, please close this thread.

Edited:
looks like YOUTUBE is down again. I have checked keepvids and couldn't download the videos either.

Code: Select all: http://keepvid.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DfFqQj0puris%26feature%3Dfeatured%26playnext_from%3DTL%26videos%3DWcnWO-dmJHw%26playnext%3D1

Thank You,

are you talking about their own embedded player too or just in jw or flowplayer?

I think Andrew should keep an eye on this and prepare for some changes.

http://apiblog.youtube.com/

They also recommend using
http://oembed.com/
to embed their videos.

As for videos no longer playing in any custom players, that shouldn't suprise anybody at all.
Youtube is simply enforcing their terms. You must use their player. Period.
We've seen that coming for well over a year now.
One of the reasons is of course that they can't stream ads into any custom player.
You better accept that and make the necessary changes instead of expecting Andrew to fix it.. every two weeks. If a fix is even possible.

SOS, guys, YouTube does not currently working!
not currently working FlowPlayer, nor JW Player

by **ciberlinker** on Mar 18, 2010 8 am

The videos have stopped working on our player. Normally disconnected Youtube videos (a couple of hours or so) and then returned to normal, but now I do not work (maybe a change of Api?). I can also add that the videos can be downloaded, that means flv/mp4 file is accessible (unlike what happened with MySpace) and therefore embedded in our players.
I then connected the youtube player (up possible solutions, I want to be as soon as possible).

by **fahimw** on Mar 18, 2010 9 am

Yes youtube videos are down none is working, works if original player is selected

!!!!!!!!

by **mephisto** on Mar 18, 2010 10 am

ciberlinker why do you say you can connect to the flv file if in your graphic it says forbidden request for all.

How to change the youtube player?
I want to change that and put it to the place :

Sorry, I do not explained well.
Not that Flv/mp4 files, work well and can be downloaded.
