I use Google Chrome.

As kv suggested, I cleared my cookies, but no change.

SR mentioned that he's getting the black strip too.

I just posted a youtube and it looks like a black strip. :noclue:

It's not working for me either. This is what the BBCode turns that link into, which should work perfectly:

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/xVjITlgqlHo" width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xVjITlgqlHo" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
If you try the link that it's creating: http://www.youtube.com/v/xVjITlgqlHo it doesn't play right, which is weird. It should. (/v/whatever is the url for just the youtube player rather than the whole page). It redirects to: https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/xVjITlgqlHo But that doesn't play either.

I think I solved it!

I think Youtube has updated their API to use links like: https://www.youtube.com/embed/xVjITlgqlHo instead of /v/. Make sense?

Probably need to update the BBCode for Youtube somehow.

More interestingly: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters
Deprecation Notice
YouTube <object> embeds were deprecated on January 27, 2015. Please migrate your applications to use <iframe> embeds, which can intelligently use whichever embedded player – HTML (<video>) or Flash (<object>) – the client supports.

LOL, I caught that there's been some recent posts on this forum and read back to page 2 when Sonny was still posting. What a fucking baby that guy was.

no :noclue:

i think the board needs to be deleted and a fresh install of an updated board. i'm pretty sure if i try that we may lose all posts. :dunce:

or we could just copy the Youtube code and go and watch the video on Youtube. That process takes 10 seconds. I think it would be a shame to lose all the posts. :noclue: And how often does one watch a Youtube video here anyway? Not very often if you're me

Yeah I don't know if the new phpBB fixes this -- but it could. I'm also not sure why it only stopped working recently -- all old posts with youtube links no longer work. There are all kinds of hacky ways it could be fixed, but it's probably not worth it. :lol:

I don't think it's a browser issue exactly because I'm getting the black bar (it's a flash object with no video) in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. It could be that Youtube pushed an updated API globally and it's just taking time to propagate across the internet (also depending on caching, etc).

It's confusing because Youtube claims that the old code (<object>) became deprecated a year ago, so there's no clear reason why it should suddenly start affecting people now.

On the PHPBB forums, they're confirming what I suggest is the problem above: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... p=14500776

The way to fix it for all old posts and new, without breaking the board, is given here: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... #p13704306

Just find this page in the Admin Control Panel:Image
