Is there any way so that the site can recognise videos and stop them from not appearing whilst browsing?

This has only started happening since we've had https.

It's not so much for my benefit, I know how to make them show up myself, but not everyone here does as whenever I post videos now people seem to be missing them completely, or I've had to say why they can't see videos others have posted as well.

It is becoming more than a little annoying...

Yeah, I can testify to that.
Seeing alot of blank spaces where videos should be lately.

What web browser are you using? If you're using chrome, there should be a shield at the right of the address bar. Click that and then click load anyway - this should sort it out.

^ What Tobie said.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I've had to say this numerous times myself.

Point is people still aren't going to get it. Evidently many of us know what the issue is and how to resolve it, but many users are simply oblivious to the fact that videos are being posted on here.

I'm just wondering if there is any way to stop it from happening at all. At the very least an announcement could be made so browser noobs recognise that they aren't going to see videos sometimes.

My anti-virus software never shows images/videos unless I choose to display "insecure content."
I have McaFee, but I know Norton does the same thing.
You can't ignore the people who disagree and pretend it makes you right.

Related issue (sort of). Is there any way to post a link to a youtube video without it being automagically embedded? I went to post a video the other day, and due to copyright, only one video was embeddable, and it wasn't very good. So I thought I'd post a link to a good one alongside it. Couldn't figure out how to do it. Help?
