    hi,
    essential plug in - cant make a site without it!

    but:
    it appears there is a change in youtube's player & link protocol... for example, the way we link a tube vid as "http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/34t-pjKKZSQ" no longer works...

    copy/paste that link into a browsers, you'll get a 404. but use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34t-pjKKZSQ and it comes up...

    is there a way to link youtube for shadowbox after this new change?

    additionally, there is a conflict between shadowbox 3.0.3.2 and the latest version of tubpress... if 3.0.3.2 is used tubepress cant play vids - if using the older version of shadowbox 3.0.0.3 tubepress is fine - but the youtube issue persists...

    help!
    thanks

    The problem is that the url is actually http://www.youtube.com/v/34t-pjKKZSQ

    Notice the lack of "/watch" in that url.

    I am unaware of any issues with tubepress but will try to look into that conflict in the coming months.

    Your plugin rocks. Been using it for a while now. Can't seem to figure out what happened to YouTube links on a mobile site. They used to open in YouTube when my blog (http://y2kemo.com) was viewed on a mobile site. Now YouTube links are opening (unsuccessfully)in a shadowbox. Not sure of the cause. Here are a few possible conflicting plugins: smartYoutube, WP-SuperCache, and WPTouch iPhoneTheme. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
