With the push toward responsive websites, YouTube is replacing their video "embed" code with iframe code so unfortunately it needs to be done one at a time. There are some most helpful and easy to understand articles linked to in the latest comment in this thread: [webmasterworld.com...] That give some assistance in the techniques that work today.

If I understand you correctly that's going to pretty much kill my site then. I had one keyword set up for a default tag in a config.php file to load those videos, but I also have countless links to it from my main site where all I had to do was insert a different keyword in the URL and a page with those videos would load. If I have to have a customized iframe code for each video that's just not going to work.

I tried adding some code in the css as well as putting the video inside an iframe like some of the commenters in your thread suggested and still couldn't get it to work like it should.

I just looked at some old embed links and compared them to the new versions. They are not similar in any respect that I can see. Different URL using https: and a different ID string. Google suggests using the YouTube Player API - (you may have run across this information already, from your question) All I can suggest is to see if you can change the way your site serves up search results using their API: [developers.google.com...]

The site is working again, I hired some guy in France to fix it through the Freelancer com site.

Unfortunately though some of the functions of the old YouTube search API (number of views, rating, author) won't work under the new one so they are gone, also we had to modify the pagination at the bottom in the interest of speed, but it's better than nothing.

Thanks to all for your input.
