In the last few days I have been going back through videos I posted in the Newbies social group, our Tune of the Month threads. Today I noticed that some of my videos were no longer embedded in older threads. On editting those old posts to re-embed the videos, I could see that the embed code was still there but it was being ignored. So I re-embedded and found that the embed code is now different from what it used to be. The new embed code works fine.
The old code looked like this:
[video=youtube_share;PCkZKvg3650]https://youtu.be/PCkZKvg3650[/video]
The new code looks like this:
[YOUTUBE]PCkZKvg3650[/YOUTUBE]
Of course, you don't have to type in all that stuff, the YouTube button does everything except supply the parameter after the = sign.
If Firefox should handle both it doesn't.
Anyway, if you have any videos posted using the YouTube button, you might want to find the post and check if they are still visible. BTW, the bbcode inserted for embedding via the plan vanilla video button seems to have not changed.
edit: I just checked -- the most recent post where I detected this problem is mid or late October 2017.
