Hi Folks,

Apparently something changed at Google Video - so that some videos suddenly had their 'embed' option turned off.  Testing confirms that this bug affects the AllVideos plugin.

So, many Google videos now apparently do not work on third-party web sites.  And...even you go back and edit the 'advanced options' of a video to allow download/embedding, those options do not actually save.

Google claims to be working on it :

A transcoding issue resulted in some videos not correctly reflecting the preferences that were chosen. We are working on addressing this.


..but the error has been around since early December, and with their purchase of YouTube, I have some doubts.  I'm also uncertain as to how a 'transcoding' issue could create this problem.

Update :

As of Jan 10th, Google Video appears to be implementing a solution for the bug.  I can't confirm whether it is active on all account yet or not.
