Does not work with YouTube Playlists

Here is some more info for you.

Here are the forms of the links of YouTube that are playlists:

or

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQrz8F0dBI&feature=youtu.be&list=PLHNAKnd_6CWfOT0MUx5rqhlz247K-_KSJ

And WordPress Embeds the url as such:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLHNAKnd_6CWcQH5Vurnzuf15PRQ2-WxSL

Your plugin tries to grab the Video ID and then embeds the playlist as the usual embed, but with no ID.. so you end up with an invalid video embed.

Since the Playlists always have a list= in the URL, worst case, you could perhaps just disable your URL rewrite for preg_match (anything with a ‘list=’ in the URL.)

Or you could do the URL rewrite with ‘/embed/videoseries?list=‘ and that long number at the end.

Thanks!

OK.. I updated the plugin to handle playlists correctly, and it appears to work really well as a result.

Here is the updated fluid-video-embeds.php

Actually, I’m not sure if it will post on this forum correctly, so I am putting a link to the new code here:
