Hi Jon or Craig-

Can you reproduce this one on prod?

Thx,
Jen

[Craig Cook (:craigcook)]

Doesn't seem to be happening on prod. Maybe it got fixed along the way?

I can't reproduce on production or on demo3, whether using OS X or Nightly on my Windows 7 VM.

We did see this a bit during development and chalked it up to the YouTube API being weird. It looks like there's a bug filed for a similar (if not matching) issue: https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=6267

However, I can't reproduce using the steps listed in that bug, either.

As far as I've seen, when this 404 does occur, it doesn't affect playback or any other functionality on the page.
