I am wondering if it is possible to embed a YouTube video on a https website. As far as I can tell YouTube videos can only be embedded with the http:// protocol. Is there a way to embed them on a page without Firefox throwing an error?

    I really do not know if this works, but you should give it a try:

    • Instead of the YouTube player you use your own custom player (made by youself or take from the web, there are a lot out there. e.g.: JW Player) This player is served by your secure server.

    • Before you play a video you have to call the Youtube API the recieve the source of you video:

      http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VideoID

    • Get you player streaming this video.

    Within your player you should be able to allow recieving unsecure content from a secured website. You probably have to a little bit reading on the Flash Players security sandbox.
