Video

I'm getting a Error 153 Video Player Config error... Did some research can't really figure out to fix this...

I've copied both the code from youtube as well as tried the Iframe code....

I'm hosted at Saratoga Hosting if that matters.

Thx

What exactly are you doing to get that error?

I'm just adding the video in - copying the code from you tube... I've attached a screen shot of the page I'm working on. It's also showing me this error on my Video Portfolio page which it never has before the code from YT has always worked just fine.

Use the page designer instead. It has a better way to add video.

Tried it... Same issue - used both the you tube code as well as Iframe....

I just tested embedding a video with no issues. 

A google search shows it could be related to a browser extension like ad blockers.

YouTube error 153 is a "video player configuration error" often caused by browser extensions like ad blockers, corrupted browser cache, or improper embedding code, specifically issues with the Referrer-Policy header. To fix it, try disabling browser extensions, clearing your cache and cookies, or using a different browser

Test in another browser to see if that may be the case.

Yea this odd - I've uploaded plenty of videos and never had a problem....

I tried what you suggested in both Chrome and Firefox - same result... I have a whole portfolio of video stuff that has the same error now - these where fine at some point... 

Could it be something on the server where I am hosted??

Any other Ideas...

Post or email me a link where you have a video so I can see if it works for me.

Here is the Link...

I mean the link on the page on your website you are adding the video.

I see the error 153 on your site too. I embedded that same video onto a page on my site and it showed fine, so it must have something to do with your hosting. 

A Google search on the error shows other people embedding videos started having the same issue a few months ago. I believe it is hosted related since it worked on my site and not yours. 

A couple of possible solutions I have found is to add this tag to your embed code: 

referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"

Something like this: 

<iframe referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m20ni5zVRMI?si=8HizBIAumI-gnfJ0" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen>

Or changing the youtube URL from youtube.com to youtube-nocookie.com

Try those.

That works!!! You are the man!!! 

THX!!!!!
