Youtube uploads no longer work on 7.0.9

I just got a horrible error message on my 7.0,9 site and I found that Google had changed some things about a week ago.

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6098135?hl=en

No lectures on why I am still using 7.0.9 please, I have my reasons - but do I have any options here?   I know the version has been abandoned by Boonex, but does anyone still do maintenance fixes for things link this?   The upload from Youtube function actually worked pretty well until this. 

While Boonex may not support 7.0.9, I am hoping the community here does.  I will install 7.0.9 so I can see the issue and possibly offer a solution.

I suppose it has to do with Youtube API V2 shutting down on 4/20 2015.   Oh well... happy 420 day.

This is something Boonex should release an official patch for, if API V2 no longer available, breaks every 7.0.X site. 

Wow - that is very nice GG.  You certainly can have any kind of administrative access to my site or server if needed,

HL - It was a decent version - I don't think they should let it go without at least patches for things like this.  I am not holding my breath though. 

I was wondering what the heck was going on!

I can share it as a link tho.

I hope someone who knows this part of the code can post a fix!

And never apologize for using 7.0.9!  I "officialy" forked at this version.  I have countless hours (and sleepless nights) invested in this version customizing it to my needs, so I won't be upgrading anytime soon either!

I still think there should be a "Community Edition" of 7.0.9.    Someone could take the top mods and and enhancements - the standard ones that everyone had to do, and then republish the source and installation instructions as "7.0.9 C" or something like that.   Would really like a solution on this one - if any of the programmers who are keeping this community are willing to take a look. 

We would need Andrew to OK this as the software is not open source, it is open code but Boonex owns the code.  Boonex would need to change the license; preferably to MIT.  I would be happy to come on board if Boonex releases the 7.0.9 code under the MIT license.

There's no problem that I can see with somebody maintaining 7.0.9 with patches, unless they rip out the license and banner code, or otherwise violate the attribution. And there's no reason to do either.

Nathan, does that mean you don't believe there is a problem if it was loaded to GitHub?  - and improved with fixes like this and other "standard mods" that almost everyone had to do?    I think unless something like that happens through this community 7.0.9 is pretty much doomed. 

At the moment, however, I am more concerned about this immediate Youtube problem.  It is a fairly major function and must be impacting other sites.   It would be nice if Boonex would publish a patch for this, but if not I am still hopeful one of the tech wizards in this community will take a look.  

I'm referring to patches, which have been done in the past by different people, and there's never been an issue with that. As long as you're not ripping out the license code, etc., it's within the license's terms to make changes and redistribute it. BoonEx may view this differently, but from what I understand, this isn't an issue as long as it stays within the community.

Andrew or AlexT should chime in here (especially the latter for the embed issue).

I uploaded the files for 7.0.9 to my test server but yet to install it; rather busy at the moment.

Yes, I hope Andrew does come in on this thread; it would be nice if some way could be set up so that the community can continue to support the 7.0.9 version with patches and updates for those that can not upgrade.

Broken window theory.   Fix them quickly or the whole neighborhood degrades.   A pretty massive investment was made in this software - by lots of folks, so it is a shame to see it start breaking now.   The 7.0.9, version still works - but this is a broken window and it would be nice to have it fixed.   If not, the next thing that breaks will degrade its value further. 

Hi, I suppose that if the Youtube uploads no longer work on 7.0.9 it won't work also on prior dolphin version.

What about if we upgrade to dolphin 7.1.5, would a video be uploaded after Youtube API V2 shut down on 4/20 2015

thx

The problem is the checkEmbed function in the upload.js file.  YouTube uses SSL connection to their videos; if you grab the video links, it will grab the https://

BxVideoUpload.prototype.checkEmbed = function () {
    var tText = $('#video_upload_form [name="embed"]');
    var sText = tText.attr("value").split(" ").join("");
    var aUrlParts = sText.split("?", 2);
    sText = aUrlParts[0];
    if(aUrlParts[1] != undefined && aUrlParts[1] != "")
    {
        aUrlParts = aUrlParts[1].split("&");
        for(var i=0; i<aUrlParts.length; i++)
            if(aUrlParts[i].indexOf("v=") == 0)
            {
                sText += "?" + aUrlParts[i];
                break;
            }
    }
    var bResult = (/^http:\/\/(www.)?youtube.com\/watch\?v=([0-9A-Za-z_-]{11})$/.test(sText) || /^https:\/\/(www.)?youtu.be\/([0-9A-Za-z_-]{11})$/.test(sText)) && $('#accepted_files_block').text() == "";
    if(bResult)
        tText.attr("value", sText);
    shVideoEnableSubmit(bResult);
}

The checkEmbed function needs to match on the https; replace http: with https?:

By the way, I am noticing the same issue with 7.0.9 on not being able to retrieve the video information from YouTube.

Awesome GG - really too bad Boonex has abandoned this product so it is great that you stepped up to the plate.   Thanks a bunch for your help on this.

p.s.  I am pretty sure you meant "7.1" in your last sentence.?

No, I meant what I stated.  YouTube dropping the older API will affect YouTube embedding in 7.0.9 as well.

I am not able to embed youtube links as videos( see the screen capture attached)

how can a newbie like me fix it??

http links of dailymotion is not working either(attachemt 2)

basically embed video is not working

i am using dolphin 7.2.1

 So why would you post in a topic that is clearly about 7.0.9?
