Youtube embeds and Safari browser (23 May 2012)
Hello.

I noticed that Youtube videos embedded on Wikia wikis started to use the AS3 version of the player about a week ago. Chrome, IE10, Firefox, and Opera all display the AS3 player. Only when browsing using Safari are all the videos presented using the AS2 player. I checked both Kirby Wiki (http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Nebula_Belt) and the help wiki (http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:YouTube_extension) and results are consistent cross-wiki.

Now this wouldn't be a problem with traditional videos, I suppose, but if we are hiding the video part and only using the player controls, the AS3 player is 10px higher than the AS2 one due to the relocated seek bar. On the said page on Kirby Wiki, for example, the video under the Video section works fine using both versions of the players, but under Music where only the player controls are displayed, the majority of the browsers are displaying AS3 now so I expanded the template to show the full player controls, but Safari still uses AS2 so there is 10px of video displayed on top of the controls.

I thought this was a problem on Google's end until I checked this using Safari (https://developers.google.com/youtube/youtube_player_demo)

Safari displays the AS3 player properly.

Is this an issue with the Youtube extension v1.10 (of the wiki) showing under Special:Version? If it is, is the AS3 player going to be implemented for Safari, or if it's not, what's causing this?

System details: I'm running Safari 5.0.5 (7533.21.1) with no extensions on Windows 7 x64

Thanks.
