The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

I’m having the problem as well.

It sucks!

I need the vendor to figure out what the hell is going on as my site has like 600 embedded videos…

An example here

https://www.eyeonwindows.com/2013/07/30/microsofts-ad-for-the-lumia-1020-focuses-on-camera-watch-here/

I used this plugin for the last year but changed all 170 videos over to the new WP embedded player and did it in 2 seconds with regex.
Don’t really see much point in these sorts of plugins nowadays.

Could you tell me what the exact steps were for the conversion.

That would save my life. I have over 900 videos.

I installed the Search Regex plugin.
Then used the following regex (yours might be different)
Search:
(\[youtube_video](.*?)\[/youtube_video])
Replace:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1

There’s also a plugin called ‘Youtube Not Found’ that I’m testing for invalid video since some of them disappear. Not sure if that is working but tests and support tickets continue ??

remember to backup your database with this stuff. It worked fine for me in seconds though.

Thanks so much for reminding me about the plugin.

I will test thoroughly in my other db before I fire away. Thanks!

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in replying.

The best thing to do is to switch off the API checking in the options – they can sometimes, erroneously, cause the plugin to think a video no longer works. This is an issue with the API sometimes not responding but the next release of our plugin should cope with it better.

Of course, using the WP embed is a simple method of embedding but the options are limited. However, if this is all you need then it would always be the recommended solution.

Applian.
