Default Re: What's with the Youtubes

YouTube updated the swf file that their (deprecated) Flash API uses.

The iframe method of embedding still works but is only open to members in the html group.

Really it needs one of our admins to change the code that the youtube tag generates so that it produces the iframe code rather than the object code.

The object code looks like:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/...

The iframe code looks like:
<iframe width="425" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/...

Here's YouTube's guidlines for developers on this topic

It's all to do with the phasing out of Flash. :blame: Adobe

Testing that the iframe code really does still work...
