YouTube link format doesn't work with ...watch?v=... format

[paulmasri (Paul Masri-Stone)]

On my Discourse, if I include a YouTube video by using the Share link it embeds, but if I just take the URL of the video it doesn’t… for the same video.

e.g. the Pixar short “Lifted”
This works:
https:// youtu.be/LVLoc6FrLi0

but this doesn’t
https:// www.youtube. com/watch?v=LVLoc6FrLi0

NB: I’ve inserted spaces in the above links to stop meta.discourse converting them.

I notice the same problem does not happen here on meta.discourse. Any suggestions?

Lifted - Pixar

Lifted - Pixar

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.

Youtube has blacklisted your server IP; this isn’t a Discourse issue.
