YouTube video URLs not recognized by video embedder - Bug Reporting

#1 Posted by BaneFireLord (2362 posts) - 3 months, 12 days ago

This is occurring in Chrome.

For example, when I put in the YouTube URL for the Tomb Raider quick look (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iTbcRRdjXM), I get an error message saying "Sorry, I don't recognize this video service."

I apologize if this has been addressed before, but I didn't see anything on the front page.

I'm having the same issue in Firefox.

I'm having the same problem. Using Chrome, but trying it in Firefox gives the same error.

Yup, I've been getting this error message intermittently over the past weeks or two, with Windows 7 + Chrome 25.0.1364.152 m.

Looking into this now. It looks like the request that gets the video's information from embed.ly is returning a 403 Forbidden. Will get this fixed asap. Thanks!
