  If you stick with the shortcode, it will never fail.

  The youtube shortcode fails when viewing the blog in Google Reader. The embedded videos appear as thumbnail images instead. When clicked, they open a new browser tab to the original blog post, where the user must then locate the video again and click to start. In other words, it takes my viewers 2 extra clicks to watch any of my videos through Reader, which is what 90% of my readership uses. Is there a way to “opt out” of using the youtube shortcode? I would rather use the iframe code in this case, which seems to work just fine for me.
