\"ParentheticalIt started yesterday.<\/p>\n

All of the YouTube embedded video code that I copied over had a extra closing parenthesis mark after it as follows. (It’s in red!)<\/p>\n

Normally, I would have been concerned. But I have this problem of keeping 50 or more Chrome tabs open at all times. This often causes a number a bugs and so yesterday I found myself unable to run any YouTube videos in Chrome. But I didn’t want to have to deal with restarting Chrome and having to put 50 or more tabs back up. So I started to use Internet Explorer for all my videos. IE is clunky, but it is robust.<\/p>\n

So when I started seeing this error, I figured it was an IE bug. But last night, my system forced a shutdown. I knew it was coming and I didn’t intercept it. It gave me a time limit, I missed it, the system rebooted. It happens. Thankfully, Chrome is really good at remembering where it was, even with six windows and, as I said, 50 or more tabs open<\/i>. And when it came back up, Chrome was displaying videos properly, so I closed IE.<\/p>\n

But the embed problem was still there! So I went over to Web Pro News<\/i> and found an article, YouTube Embed Code Has a Weird Parenthesis at The End<\/a>. There are a lot of people around who have noticed the problem. And Google has been alerted. But here we are after two complete days with no resolution.<\/p>\n

Maybe we should change Google’s motto to be, “Don’t be lazy.”<\/p>\n

I noticed that Digby’s videos today have that telltale ) after them. See, for example: Very Serious Clowns<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
