  to clarify: up to last week, videos I posted a year ago were still playing on my sites, suddenly I get the error message “This video doesn’t exist”…

  thanks, vivian, for your offer of help…i think i figured out what happened…the old shortcodes were in my posts…it seems that wordpress generated new shortcodes automatically and did some kind of automatic translation of the videos…i have to go back to the media library and find the new codes and replace them one by one (unfortunately it seems that the presumably automatically transfer of the videos themselves seem to be a bit jumpy)…it’s all good…

  Have the same problem.
  I have not seen any message about this from WP.
  did I miss it or did they just do it without any information at all?
