Unfortunately 2 things have stopped working which were working before and I have not made any changes to my system.
The youtube videos now after pasting the link dont work. Do they work from your tests ?

Also the html embed is no longer working and I know this was a massive pain before.

Anyone else have these issues ?
Hey Calvin,

It seems like you share with us that YouTube link is not correct (you can refer on my attached screenshot below), try embed this following YouTube and see how it goes?

I did a test from your site, it seems work fine for me, this is my video : http://screencast.com/t/SIwcooBA

Regarding with your HTML block issue, can you share with us which HTML code you trying to put into composer HTML block so we can better have a check?

You can put into 1 php file then attach it from your next reply.

Hello Calvin,

What is the link that you are trying to share on Youtube? I believe this could most likely be the scraping issue where Youtube is preventing your server ip address from scraping their website.

We have addressed this in EasySocial by introducing a new API key section which will fully utilize Youtube's API instead of crawling their pages.

As for the html block, what issue are you having with it?

The html block is stripping content - but seems dependent on how many blocks are present - normally I wouldnt need more than one but as the youtube isnt working I thought I would use two html iframe.
This is the link I am trying to get to work.

This is very strange I can see that you were able to add the video ..for me it still doesnt work and yet other video url does work for me..

I am most confused - I will now try a new post. Was wondering if it was the minus sign in the url ? very strange..

No matter what I do the validator doesn't even allow the request I believe as the XHR doesn't do anything with this video url..
Its just gremlins and I found other videos that would work...also the html editor has started to work though again I had issues where I couldnt click in the box and didnt see the enter text prompt either...

But as always thanks for your excellent support.
