Broken video embeds

I was going to wait until I had more info, but it turns out setting up MySQL is complicated.

I haven't ever seen a working YouTube embed on the forum, while Vimeo appears to work beautifully. As far as I can tell, this is only because the YouTube iframes are being requested as HTTP, which any modern browser (namely, Chrome (I didn't actually test Firefox)) blocks, leaving a gaping hole in the webpage.
According to the MyBB docs, it appears that providing an HTTPS YouTube URL should result in a secure widget. I think it somehow... doesn't.
I have no idea why they aren't working or if it's fixable, but that's what I can see from here. I haven't double checked Vimeo embeds, and I've never seen any others attempted. Hope that helps!
