FIXED: YouTube videos showing as broken, but play

   EricDockettposted 8 years ago

   This morning I'm seeing several broken link warnings on this account and my other two, all related to YouTube videos. The note in the Broken Links Report says "Error: 410 Gone". When I hit retest it just says "Link Bad".
   
   The videos are there, and they are working just fine. They work when you view them in the Hub. They even work when you click the link in the Broken Links Report.
   
   This appears to be a bug or something.

      I had one of these too.  I replaced that video of another one, and the "broken link" went away.

      I checked those links.
      Each of them does play, but if you check the HTTP return code for each of them, the server response is
      SERVER RESPONSE: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
      
      It looks like Google may be blocking the check.

      I have let our engineering team know in case there is a way to not show these as broken if playable.

      We have addressed this issue, so those video should no longer show as broken.
      You may need to re-test the links on the broken link page for them to update.
      http://hubpages.com/my/hubs/broken-links
      
      Please make sure to read over the explanation of how it works on that page as well.
      
      
      Important - Please Read
      
      Most Hubs are checked for broken links within 1-2 minutes after being edited. Due to technical limitations, a small percentage Hubs will not be rechecked right away. If you correct a broken link but still see a warning, it is probably because your Hub has not been rechecked by our systems. Please note that clicking the "retest" button may not get rid of the link, because it only checks whether a link is valid or not. If this happens, don't be alarmed — your Hub will be rechecked eventually, but it may take up to a couple of months. Keep in mind that your readers are unaffected by this as the updated link will be shown in the live Hub.
      
      Please note that the "check for violations" button in My Account > Hubs > Stats will not recheck your Hub for broken links. Instead:
      
          You can click the "ignore" button to not be bothered by a broken link warning.
          You can make a simple edit to your Hub and that *may* cause it to be rechecked right away.
      
      For more information, click on the blue "help" link. Thanks!

   The  link Matthew shows under location;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO6IU5xDlOY
   
   I tried it for ha ha's.  It is a video about Angel fish with a beautiful fish swimming around, 
   
   In other words, it worked for me.!!     I also tried the same URL on blogger, and it works there as well.
