Video disappeared?

[altenbach]

For some reason, the video once embedded in this post just shows as text now. What happened?

Hi Christian,

Two days ago, Embedly (the service used to embed YT videos) had an outage which affected various platforms. http://status.embed.ly/incidents/pvpxg6vp11pd

It is meant to be resolved now, but we are still seeing effects of the outage. Our community vendor is actively investigating it. We will let you know when it is resolved.

Thanks,

Lili

Well, it has not come back. Maybe I need to re-insert it?

[LiliMcDonald]

Unfortunately, the issue is still under investigation. You can re-insert if you like, but it will need to be done with a particular URL pattern:

Not working: https://youtu.be/abcdefghijk
Working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdefghijk

Thanks. I could also just show the link for now, I guess.

If I try to edit the post, select the video (visible durng edit!), and click on the camera to edit the inserted video, I would expect to be able to edit the URL according to the required pattern. However, as soon as I click the video camera icon, I get this instead.

I am also seeing the same error. You may want to delete the entire video from the post before adding the working link.

It came back. Not sure if somebody edited it or if they fixed the bug on their side. 🙂

Yes, this issue was resolved today on the platform side. Thanks for confirming!
