I notice that alwayzhis reported that: "Thank you timethief, but this issue just started happening in late December. " Last month December 2012 was just about the same time when I started to have the problem. In place of all the YouTube videos were empty black frame placeholders. Yet none of the embedding codes had been modified or altered by me.

I suspect that something in the program coding either with WordPress or YouTube, or both, must have happened or changed around December 2012 to have caused the problem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P282mDAaohI

@andreagoutier: That's because the URL has become a live link. See timethief's reply. For foolproof results, always paste the URL or the shortcode in the Text editor, not the Visual.

That is why I always use the shortcode

Judging from this post, it seems you probably have a browser add-on that is interfering with your links http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/179469/#850146

The shortcode works every time for me. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode

The problem most people posting here have is they are copying and pasting live links. They need to read this:

Make sure the YouTube link is not hyperlinked. More here >

I never had this problem before, however I did notice something very strange in my e-mails today when it notified me that I had changed the post. This is what it said : <span class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://youtu.be/VjFEPObXvOM</span&#62;
Okay... so what may I ask is this "smarterwiki-linkify" business. Have you ever heard of this?

Up until about 3 weeks ago, I've never had an issue with posting videos from YouTube on my site. No matter which way I use (regular URL, shortcode imbed, etc) all that appears on the blog page is the code.
Did something change that I am not aware of?
Thanks for anyone who stops to give me some info...
