Rollback to version 3.28 did solve the issue for me on one of the websites, I’ll try it on the other ones as well.

Any particular reason why my message was deleted?

The bug persists still across all websites where I use NextGen, and no, I am not using bitnami as host. The issue started right after the past update, I will try to revert back to the previous version.

Hey all,
this issue is caused by the following line in the NextGen pagination stylesheet:

/* ----------- Gallery navigation -------------*/
.ngg-navigation {
    display: block !important;

On my site it overrules the display:none I already had in place because it’s loaded after my themes stylesheet.

I think I figured out the cause (at least party).

All affected video’s have a “Copyright claim” tag within the YouTube Studio, because they use audio tracks that are owned by others.

Once I remove that audio track the embedded video suddenly plays again.

Now, because you all shout “See, that wasn’t so hard?” – This is the displayed information from YouTube on these videos:

• Channel impact: Not affected – The Content ID claim on your video doesn’t affect your channel. This is not a copyright strike.
• Visibility: Public- This video is visible to everybody.
• Monetization: Ineligible – Even though you’re not in the YouTube Partner Program, ads may be showing on your video.

The video’s play without any restriction on YouTube, just not embedded on a WordPress website.

One additional detail (I’m about 95% sure of this): the video’s usually play on Edge, Opera, Firefox, but not Chrome. This I can’t be sure off, I think I’ve had issues with every browser, and I can’t seem to reproduce this behavior currently.

Can it be that Chrome somehow blocks embedded Youtube videos that are being monetized by somebody else than the channel owner?

I also have a bunch of video’s that have the same Copyright claim on an audio track, but that play perfectly. However, all unplayable files have a Copyright claim, and the ones that I removed the audio track from suddenly all play (4 so far).

I hope somebody has an idea, because I have no clue how to proceed. According to YouTube I’m allowed to use the video’s in this way, but it’s not it’s not reliable…

Still no change on my side either. I embedded your video on one of my pages, and it showed the same issue, which makes me wonder if the problem is on youtubes side.

I have not been able to figure out what causes it, although one strange thing is that if I take the source file of one of the problematic videos, change it (add some images to it, make is shorter, anything), recompile it and reupload it, it still doesn’t display.

So could it youtube that detects something weird in these videos and refuses to let them be embedded without any warning?

I just noticed one small problem actually, a compatibility issue with the “I don’t care about cookies plugin” on Chrome.

With this plugin installed the popup doesn’t show as a pop up, but is displayed at the bottom of the page (underneath the footer) in full width. Clicking accept or refuse doesn’t seem to do anything, reloading the page leads to the same result.

Now, this issue will only affect a couple of users, who don’t care much about cookies to begin with. However, it looks a bit unprofessional to have the message display in this order. Let me know if you need more info from my side regarding this issue ??

You mean uploading it to my own host and serving them directly? I was under the impression that it’s usually recommended and more secure to host many videos on a service like YouTube.

– The website is currently 300+ pages with 1-5 videos per page, it would use quite a bit of space & bandwidth
– The YouTube videos have the potential to create traffic to the website (not sure about the amount here, might be neglected, but 19% of the views come from Youtube directly)
– YouTube takes care of serving different sizes for different devices automatically

If you have a solution other than YouTube that would be better I’m all ears in theory…

Nevertheless I have almost a thousand videos uploaded who I then would have to find and re-upload to my own service, not to speak about editing every page on the website individually.

Same issue, disabling Gutenberg solves the issue for now.
