I notice today each time I embed a video using youtube I get a link instead of a title which says
https://youtube.com/devicesupport

Also the video image is screwed up-have tried 3 different videos

Here is the available information
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6098135?p=yt_devicesupport&hl=en&rd=1

"Certain older YouTube apps will no longer be supported after April 2015

If you see this video in your YouTube app’s video feeds, your device is affected.

As we upgrade the YouTube Data API to bring more features, we’ll begin shutting down the old version on April 20, 2015. This will result in the current YouTube app not working on certain device models from 2012 and older.

We will continue to focus our efforts on improving our official YouTube app for TV which is available on most 2013 and newer Smart TVs and Blu-ray players, game consoles, streaming devices, and set-top boxes (e.g. Virgin Media, BSkyB Now TV Box, TiVo). You can find a list of our device partners here.

How can I continue using YouTube on affected devices?

iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad
Apple TV
Google TV
Other smart TV or game console
Roku
RSS reader"....

Yeah, people are upset about the YT thing over on ning forum as well.
Only allowing for devices from 2013 and newer seems a bit harsh by YT !

This was announced a good while ago that they where going to be changing onto their new API3.0 from 2.0 to co-incide with the new mobile side of things. They seem to be running both side by side just now which is why some apps tend to work and some not. The code will need to be re-wrote for thier new api.

Interesting - I come you check this out and now all YT videos are loading fine. I even create the one that gave me the 'Https://Youtube.com/Devicesupport' title yesterday and it works ok this time.
Can anyone point me to YT videos that cannot be created and have this issue?
The YouTube module doesn't use an API, as such, but just a feed URL that returns a json array of the specified YT info, so if I can find a video that returns this mis-titled data, I can work on a solution.
Thanks

I am. Trying to fix it now. The not-fun thing is that to get the same data you have to register for the google API. More steps where to do to get setup.

The YouTube module will be ready for release soon, but it will require steps taken to make it work again. Going to need a developers key and your site registered to be able to use it:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/

I'll write up some steps along with the update release.

Will this effect those of us using Seamless to pool all our video types together?

Youtube videos in the system now will still work, but you will not be able to add any new YouTube videos until the steps have been taken.
