I worry that if I change that embed code even by a few letters -- even letters that seem they obviously should be included -- then other browsers may have trouble understanding it. And I can't test every browser scenario to be sure. Also, unfortunately, so far, you are the only one to complain about this. I assume that YouTube has done its homework and provides the optimal embed code. I am sorry if it is causing you trouble. Please email YouTube and then tell us here on the Asterisk their reply. - RJN
Thanks for the reply!
It appears that always adding http: won't be harming anything - in fact that's how it was for years until recently.
Btw, here is what YouTube gave me when I clicked 'copy embed code' in a video:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="
https://www.youtube.com/embed/ig7lA9ERw ... detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Please, notice the https: is present there (copied from Chrome on Windows, with HTTPS Everywhere extension enabled).
Here is the code copied using IE on Windows:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="
http://www.youtube.com/embed/ig7lA9ERwA ... r_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
http: is present.
We must be copying using different methods.
Thanks for your reply and consideration,
