I know this is not a PHPvibe problem but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. Views on youtube video's that I have embedded on the site are not being counted by Youtube. I read a forum that said if the videos are set to autoplay it won't count so I edited the script so that when they embed they are not set to autoplay but the views are still not counted. Any ideas?

From what I read here https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/CHQ4juqTbNw they say nobody knows for sure, some embedded views count, most don't.

My programmer found a fix for this. He changed the code so that PHP vibe will use the old YouTube embed codes instead of the new Iframes. He verified that views were counted when he did this.

Doesn't the old embed break on mobile?

Yea your right. We didn't notice that before. It sends the surfer to youtube to watch the video there
