YouTube iFrame API quality parameter "vq" - video playback using a black screen

Question

There seems to be a huge problem with the iframe url parameter "vq" (in this case, "vq = hd720"). If you use this paranonder, the flash video screen turns black.

This example URL has worked until today:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/dFVDJlM6zLY?vq=hd720

(feel free to replace the YouTube ID example)

Now this example only works without the "vq" parameter (vq = hd720):

http://www.youtube.com/embed/dFVDJlM6zLY

The problem is that we provided this YouTube iframe on many sites to many customers, and it worked quite well for a month (years?). Each site now has black YouTube videos.

Does anyone know if this option has been stripped?

Was there a new version of the YouTube API today?

The parameter has already been discussed and recommended in various forums:

eg. Forcing youtube to run in 720p

Any ideas on how to get Google (YouTube) to solve this problem?

Answer 1

It seems that the only way out of this (for now) is to remove the vq parameter or set it to auto. This seems like a widespread problem, although this has happened recently. You can leave this problem on google so they notice:
