I have a .NET application that plays Youtube videos. For that to work I had to hard code a referer and loaded the /embed/ version of the video. That worked on just about all videos until about a month ago.
Now any /embed/ videos do not load at all. The player just shows a black screen like it's not loading flash, but if I switch the video URL from /embed/ to /v/ instead, it plays videos again, but it's not bypassing the playback restrictions placed on VEVO, UMG, etc.. videos.
I have added a user-agent, thinking that was it but still not bypassing restriction like before.
This is what I was using before:
