 * Hello
 * We’ve been using this widget successfully for the past 6 months.
 * When we plug in a YouTube url that is http like this:
 * [youtube video=http://youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ]
 * it works and plays fine, but when we plug in a YouTube url that is https like
   this:
 * [youtube video=https://youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ]
 * the player gives an error of “An error occured. Please try again later.”
 * Why? How can this be fixed or worked around?

 * Hi, i have found the problem
    when you put the url inside the wordpress editor
   on “visual” mode you can paste the link, so the shortcode [youtube video=http://
   youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ] in the truth will be
 *     ```
       [youtube video=<a href="http://youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ">http://youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ</a>]
       ```
   
 * and obviously the shortcode don’t will work,
    if you put the shortcode without
   url o in “text” mode the shortcode will be ok
 * Little tip, you can check on visual mode the url, because the link of video will
   appear with underline like
 *     ```
       [youtube <a href="http://youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ">http://youtu.be/1j80LIHVblQ</a>]
       ```
