The latest YouTube embeds

You've probably seen the new look youtube. But I've just noticed the embeds are now not allowing full-screen mode (there's also a new speed selector).

For pity's sake why?

Allowing "full-screen" mode for me but I did notice a glitch in that they will not allow some embeds to be fast-forward or reversed.

For all the tweaks YT offers with their interface I still only use a few....dotdude should chime-in here, he stays abreast of the new features.

EDIT: more glitches...Playing an embed here on VS then pausing it resume caused the volume control on the vid to become functionless..frozen-

The speed selector has been around for a while - I too find it annoying. I'm getting full-screen on most YouTube videos - for some time there have been a few Youtubes that don't allow you to go full-screen. Not sure why this is.

On my end, the only videos that don't have fullscreen buttons are embeds using the WebM player in Chrome/Opera/Gecko-based browers. Disabling HTML5 on YouTube is usually enough to get it working again.

Have you tried adding "mozallowfullscreen" and "webkitallowfullscreen" to the list of embed parameters?
