What’s up with the YouTube playlist embeds?
posted by firefly 2 months 2 weeks ago • 263 views
So, are the YouTube playlists not working again? When I was watching my Avatar post, only the first video played. (There were supposed to be four.) So I checked out some random multi-part vids:

F For Fake 1974 Vrits et mensonges (full film)
NASA 50 Years of Exploration
Connections II Episodes 17 & 18

None of them play beyond the first video. This happen to anyone else?

It might be YouTube issue - I remember before, they limited embedded playlists to five videos.

^ Well, that would explain the F for Fake, but not the others, as they're less than five clips.
I guess YT will fix it eventually...

Damn YouTube. Having problems with playlists exactly when I was going to submit a nine part epic tale of unbelievable heroism.
*Curses*

This is weird. I was watching the Henry Hill doc last night and had the same problem. But it wasn't just that it wouldn't autoplay the next vid, I couldn't even skip to it with the side arrows on the player. And the clip selection button (lower left corner next to play button) wasn't working at all.

The first part of my post above referenced here works for me.....glitches be from everywhere....

sidenote: perhaps custom players from youtube with one or more vids that are no longer there, may have problems, I have not checked all of mine in a while....when one segment is "unavailable", the player may be affected...
questions that probably have simple answers??? We are Videosift, y'know....we demand answers-NOW!

has any one thought of asking the admins at youtube some f these

All the clips for the Henry Hill post I mentioned above are available. I seem to remember reading about some changes for YT playlists recently - perhaps they're still working out the kinks?

This is why we ought to be able to create multipart posts here, so that we're not dependent on external players like this. It would also allow clips from different hosts to be playlisted together.
