My apologies but I was responding to
your message that the issue was with the Mobileread BBCode YouTube parser. AFAIK, the Mobileread YouTube parser has never worked with the full URL and has always used the identifier portion of the URL. A simple test using the shortened youtu.be or the youtube.com/watch?v= URLs will demonstrate that those do not work with YouTube BBcode even if you wrap the URL in [URL][/URL]. As I said, a PEBKAC error.
