      Hi I’m trying to get the embeded YouTube module to work and having an issue I’ve been fighting with a couple days now. Hoping maybe someone could provide a little insight.

      I have the module installed and it shows up fine even pulls the correct video. However when it goes to play (whether it’s autoplay or I kick it off) I get a the video is not available and gray fuzzy picture.

      Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

      {
      		   module: "MMM-EmbedYoutube",
      		   position: "top_right",
      		   config: {
      			    video_id: "tsp7IOr7Q9A",
                      autoplay: true,
                      controls: false,
                      disablekb: true,
                      fs: false,
                      loop: true,
                      modestbranding: true,
                      
      		   }
      	    }

        some YouTube videos won’t play in an app outside of the actual YouTube site.

        Try a different video.

        I have a playlist, and have removed quite a few videos due to this issue.

        Sometimes if you find a different source for the same video, it will work, so try that route also.

          @justjim1220 Cool, appreciate that. I have been able to get another one play so your probably right, just gotta find some different ones.

            There is a small weird thing also.
            If that module is using Youtube iFrame Player API, Some videos will not be played on Electron (Standalone Kisosk mode) but playable on Chromium (Serveronly mode with Chromium Browser)

              Yeah, it’s the same on this end as well…
              YouTube is just really weird!

              I Have my own created YouTube created module, And it does the same thing!

                Right, the error code would be 150 and it means not playable out of youtube by authorities.

                I guess they check whether the browser is “normal” or not, and they might think electron is not the browser…

                  Yeah, with mine, when I get those errors, I remove the video, and search for a different one.
                  There may be 5-10 or videos of the same song, so it’s trial and error from there.
