Faults with Video 'Insert from Web' and YouTube

[nvella]

I've looked at the other issues and whilst this bug does get mentioned, nothing singles it out exactly. Creating a separate issue so it's more easily identifiable.

Two issues are currently present with YouTube videos and Video -> 'Insert from Web'

• The form does not recognise https, or youtu.be URLs.
• Changing the UR to a http URL results in the old Flash player being added, which is no longer functional.

The intended behavior is for https and youtu.be URLs to work in the form, and for the newer HTML5 player to be inserted, rather than the older Flash player.

Hi, May I pick this issue. If no one is working on this then, Please assign it to me. @nvella

Thank you, Nick. :)
I tried this issue and was able to get the preview of the YouTube URLs containing https and youtu.be.
But, while publishing the post to WordPress account I was getting one exception ProgId missing for extension:: wpost and still was able to post after ignoring.
Is this problem related to build or something?
Also using VS2015 I was getting lots of errors during the build but not in VS2017 which I use in general.
@nvella Should I give PR of the branch to get reviewed?

Hi @ranjanjharavi,

Looks like good work so far! Certainly submit a PR and I can give it a look.

The ProgId and extension wpost errors are a known issue to-do with file associations - I'm intending to give that a look as part of my work on MSIX packaging as MSIX supposedly handles setting up associations.

As for the Visual Studio version, I've been developing on 2017, however @wforney is working on moving the project over to 2019 in #863. Don't worry if you have to change the version on your branch to develop, we can fix it up later :)

Cheers, Nick
