Youtube clips not viewable on mobile browsers

[Martijn]

Some users from my forum are complaining that they are unable to watch youtube video's which are posted on the forum on their Ipad/Android Tablet or smartphone.

For example : http://www.goochelaars.com/threads/youtube-videos-niet-te-zien-met-ipad.14844/#post-128860

I tried it on my Ipad myself and it worked after about 30 seconds wait. (both in Safari and Chrome)
I tried it on an Samsung Tab 3 (both in built-in-browser and Chrome) with no result.
I only see some whitespace in the message.

Any idea what causes this problem ?

That format isn't compatible with mobile browsers.

Try updating your media BB Code - this is the default:

<iframe width="500" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$id}?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hi Brogan, thanks. It works right now

I'm having some of the same issues, users complaining they cannot see videos on mobile (responsive). @Brogan Can you explain a bit more on 'updating your media BB code'? Is that within the post or is that within the XenForo code?

This is the URL in question.

@Chris Deeming has a resource for this.

Go to your ACP, click on BB Code Media Sites in the sidebar, click on YouTube and update the code in the Embed HTML field.
