Youtube videos features disabled

[WilliamCrawford]

Hello,

I wanted to know - is it just me or nobody can make youtube videos that are embeded on nexus site to go fullscreen? Whenever I hit the fullscreen button, it becomes unavailable and nothing happens. Is there a particular reason this feature has been disabled?

Thanks

It's not just you, and it's annoying. I assume it's because we're using embed code that's about 3 years old now.

The "Watch on Youtube" feature still works, though, and you can watch it full screen there, if that helps.

 

It does spawn another browser window, but that's IMHO no tragedy, and if you're going to watch it in full screen, you won't get to see that stuff while you watch.

Okay, thanks for the answers. It's no big deal opening a new tab with a youtube video, but opening it straight away in fullscreen would be a nice luxury to have :))

Well, don't get me wrong, I like all the luxuries I can get. Opening in a new tab is just a workaround in the meantime. Beats watching it tiny, that's all.

I'm really frustrated with the YouTube videos being locked down. Full screen does not work. The links on the video to view the video on the YouTube page don't work. The only thing that works is to right-click on the video, selecting "copy video URL" and then pasting that URL into the browsers address bar. What a pain! Most videos (especially the tutorial videos) need full resolution to be of any use.

 

Please fix this.

It's only in posts, that is descriptions or comments. Inside the video tabs as well as the video share it is still working fine. So it's basically only videos in places where they initially weren't meant to be to begin with.

And it's solely the embed code. You can fix it by adding another <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">, adding attributes 'allowfullscreen="true"' and 'allowscriptaccess="always"' to the <embed> tag, and changing the video url protocol from "http" to "https". With any of these features missing it simply will not work. I can do this in my browser during runtime, but I'm a web developer myself, so this isn't exactly a 'fix' I can suggest.
