Embedded YouTube player doesn't work (Error 153)

[That-Human-Being]

Basically whenever a feed item has a YouTube video attached to it like how most hackaday articles link to the YouTube video that the article is about, the embedded player shows up, but is unable to play the video (I've tried adjusting various settings but none of what I tried did anything)

The article the screenshot was taken of

What’s the URL of the feed? Which syncing system are you using? (iCloud, Feedbin, or…?)

URL is https://hackaday.com/blog/feed/ And currently I'm just syncing to "on my iPhone"

API Clients that use the YouTube embedded player (including the YouTube IFrame Player API) must provide identification through the HTTP Referer request header. In some environments, the browser will automatically set HTTP Referer, and API Clients need only ensure they are not setting the Referrer-Policy in a way that suppresses the Referer value. YouTube recommends using strict-origin-when-cross-origin Referrer-Policy, which is already the default in many browsers.

This should fix it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79805072/6306190

You need to either add this header: 'Referrer-Policy': 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' Or you can add the following to your embed element: referrerpolicy='strict-origin-when-cross-origin'
