Suddenly have this on ALL YT embeds today, even old ones going way back.

If you edit the post what does the BB code look like?

Paste it into code tags so it doesn’t render.

Which version of XF are you running?

Which version of XF are you running?

Last one, AFAIK: 2.2.7 Patch 1

I'm somewhat at a loss to explain it unless the YouTube media site has been modified in some way.

Have you ever installed an add-on that provides additional media sites or additional YouTube embed functionality?

If so, it would be worth ruling that out.

The only other thing is if YouTube are blocking it based on your locale in some way. By which I mean, not your physical location but however it determines which language to display in. Our embeds render in English so that's currently the only distinguishing factor I can think of.

Either way, as long as the HTML code we generate on your site is correct, there should be no difference unless YouTube is choosing to handle that request differently for some reason.

The HTML code as it appears here for that video is:

<div class="bbMediaWrapper">
    <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner">
        <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P3QS83ubhHE?wmode=opaque" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
    </div>
</div>

I haven't installed anything until today, just before bouncing this thread. Trying to figure out what is happening I installed this:

s9e Media Sites

This add-on will: Add a carefully curated collection of the most useful and most requested media sites. A list of supported URLs can be found on this page. Improve the performance and efficiency of the default media sites. Pages will load as...

xenforo.com

With which only achieved seeing nothing in the post, so I uninstalled it and reverted the _media_site_embed_youtube template (which remained modified even with the add-on now uninstalled)

No other add-on related to media has ever been installed.

The only other thing is if YouTube are blocking it based on your locale in some way. By which I mean, not your physical location but however it determines which language to display in. Our embeds render in English so that's currently the only distinguishing factor I can think of.

Please have a look at these embedded videos, whose codes are the same I have put in this thread in my site:

If you go to my site you'll see there is one of them showing and the other not

Yeah I can certainly see the issue and can't see a reason for it. The HTML code seems to be identical.

Naturally, I get the error message in English on your site because of my browser locale so that rules out that theory.

There's literally no fathomable reason for it but the handling for that will be entirely down to YouTube. Hopefully it's a temporary issue that they will fix on their own.

Once discarded a misconfiguration, only thing I can think of is that some publishers (music, e.g.) tick some option to not show embedded in a given location, forcing to go to the YT main site...

Thank you for taking the time
