Youtube embeddings have stopped working for servers in Europe

The issue is related to the “Data Consent Form” and OneBox catches that instead of the actual content.

If instead of using the https://youtube.com/watch?v=XYZ you change it to https://youtu.be/XYZ it works because that’s the “Share URL” and that doesn’t pop the Consent Dialog. (However, this is not ideal).

Unless Discourse/OneBox “autochanges” the URL to the “Short Version” when oneboxing, maybe, as a quick fix? IDK, just giving more info/feedback.
