youtube api loaded via http instead of https

hello there

i am experiencing some issues when using jwplayer in a secure environment over ssl. some resources, like the youtube api itself, seem to get loaded over http instead of https. in chrome/firefox the following console warning occurs:

_The page at 'https://mobile.bekb.ch/de/Produkte-Dienstleistungen/fuer-familien/familienplaetze/bern-spielplatz-laengmuur' was loaded over HTTPS, but displayed insecure content from 'http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3&modestbranding=1': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS._

this ultimately results in playback failure on certain devices. for example a samsung galaxy S4 mini with android 4.2.2 (chrome 33) won't display the video at all.

this page can be used as an example implementation: https://mobile.bekb.ch/de/Produkte-Dienstleistungen/fuer-familien/familienplaetze/bern-spielplatz-laengmuur
the jwplayer-version used in this example: 6.8.4616

many thanks for your help

patrick

Yes, we are loading their embeds over http.

ok. are there any plans for changing those into https when jwplayer is embedded via a secure connection?
this should be fixed some time, because it could potentially (in cases like we have here) limit playback ...

How long do you think this will take? Do you have a hotfix which I could use to patch the files or at least tell me where I have to look to fix it by myself?

This bug keeps us from using jwplayer and therefor buying a license.
