Youtube no longer works

@highzera I looked at your page, and see the empty playlist= is still there. I compared it to what my customer’s page produces and there are a couple of differences (on hers the URL is in a src=”…” tag and on yours it’s is a data-src=”…” tag. I don’t know the cause of those differences.

If you’d like to email your youtube-advanced.php file to me at ythelp@swcp.com I can verify it looks right.

If someone else understands what causes the different src tags maybe they can chime in.

Hi All,

Just wanted to add my voice to this, had a client call with this issue today, not sure if it’s a change to the SU plugin, how YouTube handles empty URL params or maybe even a change to the way PHP http_build_query works.

Either way the SU plugin needs to be updated, as others have correctly pointed out it’s the empty playlist parameter which is the culprit however I didn’t like the fix(s) posted by others which turns it into a loop (or adds the video id to make it a playlist of 1 video).

Here is the fix that I’ve added which is what I think the plugin authors should implement. It goes directly above the $url_params = http_build_query( $url_params ); line and it basically loops through the parameters removing the keys for anything that has an empty string as a value.

foreach ( $url_params as $url_param => $value ) {
	if ( '' === $value ) {
		unset($url_params[$url_param]);
	}
}

Now that I looked further @bonazzo solution works for me. Thanks.

Where is the author of the plugin?

I don’t know why this is marked as resolved when it’s still an issue

Sorry, my confusion, I was working on two sites at the same time, staging and live. One was updated and the other was not.
