The YT tag is outdated method for embedding YouTube videos. Simply copy/paste the URL of the video itself, without using YT tags, and the software does the rest.

Part of this new issue is with how YouTube is changing from Flash to HTML5 and how browsers are also making this change because Flash is not secure.

We will look into the issue as to how to preserve the old YT links.
