When pasting YouTube links...

[Michael R]

to get the video to embed using the link, I must remove the "s" from "https".

It's a little annoying and my users have no clue. Is there a setting for this?

No need to remove the s, works on my forum. I would open a support ticket

Same https works fine on our site for embeds as well.

Works fine on my forum as well. Once you paste the URL into the post editor, all you have to do is click once anywhere in the post editor, for the video's link to actually convert to the video.

Same, the only time it doesn't embed for me at all is when I'm quoting in the same post

While everyone else says that it works fine on their forum, let's try to figure out why it doesn't on yours

When you paste a url in, an ajax request is sent to the server to retrieve information to display the video. It is the server, not your machine, that is retrieving the content.

Open up a web developer console and look at what the response is when you paste in the url and press enter. I can reproduce your issue easily by stopping my server from accessing youtube via port 443 -> which means that https links will fail and the following will show in the response in the console:

Quote

"Failed to connect to www.youtube.com port 443: Network unreachable"

If I then block port 80 (http) then the following appears:

Quote

"Failed to connect to www.youtube.com port 80: Network unreachable"

If you see the above, then look into why your server is blocked from accessing youtube via port 443.

Thank you! That's very helpful!

@Michael R - I find it very unpredictable, since using this - I don't have any issues http://ckeditor.com/addon/youtube
