XF 1.3 YT - video embedding not working with chrome

[tobi-the-fraggel]

Hey there,

just another issue popped up. For some reason embedded youtube videos do not work anymore. As I am using firefox I can't exactly tell since when this is broken but probably it happened at some point last week. So on chrome an embedded video looks like this

So it's just a black box. The little 'Y' you can seen on the bottom right of the black box is clickable but the link is also broken. It's opening a youtube site with this url https://www.youtube.com/?
https://www.youtube.com/?

Is there anything with xenforo and a recent google chrome update which could be related?
Could it be a css someone messed up somewhere?

Regards
tobi

Check the embed code you are using.
A recent Chrome update has stopped older code working.

This is the default:

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

That's my one. It's missing the 'mode=opaque'. Is that the cause and if yes how can I fix it?

Update the media bb code entry in the ACP.

I've just found it! ...and this was my actual embedding HTML used by our forum.

<object width="500" height="300" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" width="500" height="300" />
</object>

I replaced it with yours and now it's working fine on chrome and firefox. (even looks way better now)

Thank you so much @Brogan for the swift help!

No worries, glad it's sorted.

We've had a few reports of it over the past few days so I expect we'll have a few more.

Recently experienced this here, another site I'm a member of, but they got it fixed.

At first the embeds didn't show up at all, but you could still click on them and they would play. Then they appeared fixed for a short while before turning into what's shown in the OP's screenshot, where they couldn't be played at all.
