[YouTube-API] Re: iframe api + height size and playback restriction

Hello Holli,

That response indicates that the video is explicitly blocked in
Germany, not that the video is only playable in Germany. Perhaps your
IP address is being incorrectly geo-located in Germany instead of
Austria? Also, what version of the YouTube player are you attempting
playback with? Finally, it's possible that there is some domain-level
restriction on that video that isn't reflected in the YouTube API
response, but I can't tell for sure.

Cheers,
