 * Hello,
 * the plugin really is great, thanks for putting it together. Just by accident,
   I found that when putting the link to youtube like this: [https://youtube.com/watch?v=whatever](https://youtube.com/watch?v=whatever)(
   without www), the block will not be replaced.
   I found that in the switch statement
   hd_bcve_render_core_embed_block, you have only the case ‘www.youtube.com’. I 
   don’t see a reason why you couldn’t also add youtube.com without www? Knowing
   that it only works with www, I can just always add it, but for less techy users
   this behaviour might come as a surprise. [https://youtube.com](https://youtube.com)
   and [https://www.youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com) are both valid and should
   both work.

 * I think you are right and it makes sense to included the non www versions. These
   were not include originally as copying the address from Youtube always adds the
   www.
 * However since the embed works with the www it makes sense to make this work too.
   I will add this into the next release.

 * Version 1.1.3 (released just now) of the plugin should correct this issue. I 
   am going to mark this as resolved.
