  Currently, it is possible to text link a high quality version of a YouTube video by adding &fmt=18 to the URL, but the code does not work for embedding.

  Text Link

  Original Code: href=”URL&fmt=18″
  Wordpress Correction: href=”URL&fmt=18″
  Result: Link to high quality video works

  Embedding Video

  Original Code: [youtube=URL&fmt=18]
  Wordpress Correction: [youtube=URL&fmt=18]
  Result: Embedding of a standard quality video instead of a high quality video

  Please consider adding support for embedding high quality YouTube videos.

  Thank you,
  Kitsune

  Looks like I can’t edit the post…

  Typo:

  & is missing from the corrected versions:

  It should read:

  WordPress Correction: href=”URL&fmt=18″

  WordPress Correction: [youtube=URL&fmt=18]

  ……..

  It seems that the WordPress forum is omitting the expression ANDAMP; from my posts… I’ll try to repost it in the code tag.
