[Xerte] Problems playing a Youtube video

Wed Aug 18 15:15:54 BST 2010

  Hi All
I changed my security settings and wikipedia, Youtube feeds, flicker etc 
all work except an embeded  YouTube.
Tried this in both page wizards and maxos toolkits - to no avial - 
strage that the YouTube feeds pay perfectly but not an embedded Youtube 
video.

Is it possible the video id parser in Pagewizards and toolkits need to 
be updated see notice below from Youtube.

Upcoming Change to YouTube Video Page URLs

There's an upcoming change to YouTube video page URLs that we wanted 
developers to know about. While it's not something that will directly 
affect users of the YouTube APIs, chances are there are some developers 
in the audience who have code that parses existing YouTube video page 
URLs, possibly to extract a video's id.
