When attempting to embed this specific youtube video, I get the error message "Sorry, I don't know this video service" now, regardless of if I use the https, http or the shortened youtu.be URL:

I've been getting this problem, too, but only with specific videos. I can't remember which videos, but I know I've seen it more than once. One of them was deleted before I could post it, so maybe this is a Youtube-side issue.

It could be videos where embedding has been disabled on the youtube side of things, but the giant bomb error should be something along the lines of "embedding has been disabled for this video" rather than "I don't know this video service" if that's the case.

I know it isn't that, because at least one of the videos I tried embedding was mine.

@i_stay_puft: There are specific videos that randomly don't seem to work. Many, or even most Youtube videos work without issue.

@fisk0 Maybe they fixed it? Have you tried again? I'm able to embed that video you shared.
