Youtube Video are not being handled properly in easysocial stream

Hi,

I'm having a problem with youtube video not pulling in description, title or thumbnail when posted to the easysocial timeline. What I do get is the video's url, which when clicked takes you to the proper video at youtube ...

I had briefly thought it might be related to an issue with youtube blocking ips (as per Andrew Gous thread in the forums), but after changing my EC2 elastic ip, I find that I still have the problem in easysocial AND as well in easyblog.

The easyblog situation is interesting in this regard, if I try to use a video block in the standard blog posting editor (using the built in composer) I do not get anything embedded ... BUT ... if I use the quick post method for video, I get the correct behavior and the video is embedded properly?!

So, hopefully you can help me determine what might be the problem in this instance.

System Details:

Ubuntu 14,04 running in an Amazon EC2 instance
MySQL 5.5.44
PHP Version 5.5.9
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
Joomla! Version Joomla! 3.4.3 Stable
EasySocial 1.3.29
EasyBlog 5.0.17

Thanks
