[lifepress] Youtube Embeds Suddenly Not Working (fix)

[Mitchell McKenna]

Last week (likely to do with all the small changes their making to the
youtube player) all my embedded youtube videos stopped working. I
looked into and wanted to share this in case anyone else ran into this
problem.

Youtube changed it so that embedding with http://youtube.com/watch/v/[youtube
code] no longer works, you need to remove the "watch/" part.
I was able to do that by simply removing it in the youtube_com.php
plugin using...
$link = str_replace('watch/', '', $link);

before:
function pre_display($item){
$link = $item->item_data['permalink'];
$link = str_replace('?v=', '/v/', $link);

after:
function pre_display($item){
$link = $item->item_data['permalink'];
$link = str_replace('?v=', '/v/', $link);
$link = str_replace('watch/', '', $link);

Cool!

I opened a tracker issue for this http://code.google.com/p/lifepress/issues/detail?id=20
and will include it into the next version.

I tried to verify this issue yesterday, but the random feed I pulled
from youtube displayed videos just fine.

Can you get back to the tracker issue and add some more information
(feed URL) to it please?
