Done. Youtube changed the url format, I've yet to recode things here. Apols, I've added your video to your thread post

Hi @Robert any chance you might be able to add the youtu.be method of YouTube embedding?

When on mobile, even when trying to grab the URL for a video from Chrome, it tends to default to opening the YouTube app which uses the new youtu.be URL method of sharing.

Sure, the embed code hasn’t worked great for an age. V clunky. There’s probably a better implementation around so I’ll get on it when I’ve some time.

Update: New implementation, see image below

 :cheers: Nice one @Robert that's great, even if I grab the sharing URL from the app I can just delete all the extraneous bits and leave the video ID.  :cheers:

No worries. It’s not perfect, iPhone spits out a bit of html beneath the vid, but it’s liveable  :cheers:

Test to see if the youtube embedding works before posting to the main forum (based on Roberts post).
