Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I've got what I assume is the standard implementation of the YOUTUBE bb code, and some videos show only the starting frame and display the "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." error when you try to play them. If you use a direct link to YouTube, they work fine, so I can't figure what's up with that. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I've had this problem. However, please ask in the modfication thread for such questions. ;)

Most of the time its because the people that have uploaded it to youtube have marked the option on youtube so it cannot be embedded.

Yeah, check the the box where they provide the embed code. If it says "Embedding disabled by request" instead of code, then the "video no longer available" message is the message you'll get if you try.

Ah, thanks for the info... I didn't know that embedding can be disabled by the uploader.
