Someone knows if I am doing something wrong or is it related to the feature just released? The video in this case is public and the video is easily accesible from the normal URL and the embedded URL.
As far as I can see, both Obsidian and Wordpress can load the embed code cleanly but YouTube doesn’t allow the video to play on either platform. I think the issue with with YouTube.
I had wondered if some kind of automated tool has monitored the video, heard the music, and blocked embedding from working fully (as someone else mentioned in the link above). Perhaps it is something else.
Just to be clear, I was not saying music rights needed to be obtained … I was just wondering if the music might have triggered something in YouTube. I am sure WhiteNoise will check things as promised for you.
Added two of the videos as links below and they both play. Curious. Tried them again in Obsidian and Wordpress but they won’t load. Very odd.
I have tried in Obsidian several links to YouTube shorts and I found the pattern of all of them failing. Here I let you a random list so you can try too:




In all the cases the result is the next one:
Translation to English:
An error has occurred. He tries again later. (Replay ID: kc9_RtdhHyhVWqDb)
More information
The link to more information contains general purpose solutions with the exception of this recommendation: Delete the Chrome extension “YouTube Flash Video Player 57.0.”
Also just stumbled on this. @WhiteNoise seems like youtube shorts links don’t work.
But since youtube shorts (and youtube music songs as well btw) all use the same video id’s.
You can easily convert links these

to:

and
