Youtube HD Broken


Hello,
I'm using the latest version of JWPlayer. It seems with the flash player I can see the YouTube video in HD. However, the HTML5 version it plays in low resolution. Switching the quality modes does nothing.

Here is sample:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://player.longtailvideo.com/jwplayer.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<h2>JW Player</h2>

<div id="container"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("container").setup({
file: 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk',
flashplayer: 'http://player.longtailvideo.com/player.swf',
height: 270,
width: 480,
'youtube.quality': 'hd720'
});
</script>

<p><a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/flash_api_reference#Playback_quality">YouTube Quality API</a></p>

</body>
</html>

This works great and looks wonderful. However, the code below it does *not* work:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script src="http://jwpsrv.com/library/kG7hXLU8EeOZLiIACmOLpg.js"></script>
</head>
<body>


<div id='playerebFAbceYKbTq'></div>

<script type='text/javascript'>

jwplayer('playerebFAbceYKbTq').setup({
file: 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk',
title: 'Click to Play',
width: '1280',
height: '720',
autostart: 'true',
'youtube.quality': 'hd720',
plugins: {
hd: {}
}
});
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Can someone inform me of what the issue is? I see the HD icon but changing the quality modes it does nothing. Maybe YouTube broke something?
Thanks,
Asaf
