    <p>I have a site with an embedded YouTube Flash (AS3) player, and it's no longer working in Safari.</p> <p>Check out <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/q98x8/" rel="nofollow">this fiddle</a>, the code for which is merely:</p> <pre><code>&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer"&gt; &lt;/object&gt; </code></pre> <p>In Chrome, Firefox, and IE, the request to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer</a> returns normally (200). In Safari, the server returns a 303 to <a href="https://youtube.googleapis.com/apiplayer" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.googleapis.com/apiplayer</a>.</p> <p>This player loads, but I am unable to interact with it in JavaScript. I assume that's because it's served over https — though I am explicitly requesting http — resulting in a mixed-mode security issue. Here's error I see when trying to do anything with the player (this is with the full chromeless player embed code):</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; player.playVideo() Error: Error calling method on NPObject. </code></pre> <p>If I change Safari's user agent to something else, or even just mangle the word "Safari", then the correct player is loaded. I also have no trouble loading the Vimeo and Viddler players (<a href="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf</a> and <a href="http://www.viddler.com/player/key" rel="nofollow">http://www.viddler.com/player/key</a>).</p> <p>I see this both in the stable Safari release and in the WebKit nightly. It also occurs with my extensions disabled and in Private Browsing mode.</p> <p>I tried working around it by embedding <code>http://youtube.googleapis.com</code>, hoping that there would be no redirect and I'd get the player over http. But it still redirects to https, and it does so in all browsers.</p> <p>I filed <a href="https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4887" rel="nofollow">this YouTube API ticket</a> last week, but there's been no response so far.</p>

    1. COI don't think it's something that will get much attention on the YouTube side ... it's not really a bug, after all, but a design choice (just as you have a specific use case that prevents you from using https or switching to the iFrame API, Youtube has specific reasons for not wanting to deliver the player over an insecure connection). Perhaps you might set up a little local proxy on your end that could receive things over https but then make them available to your app via http?

    2. COThanks, that's a great point. I think it could be deliberate, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that. And why only Safari? Why is it not documented anywhere? Proxy idea is clever; I think in my case I'd go with one of the other workarounds first, but it probably would work.

    3. COiFrame is the best way I've found to get reliable cross-browser Youtube embeds. What problems would an iFrame approach give you?

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
