Hello,

A few issues that have been noticed lately on the standard <iframe> embed when viewed in HTML5 mode -

1)  The full screen button has been missing for quite some time unless explicitly added to the URL string as &fs=1
     and then viewed through Chrome browser.  However even doing so - the FS button has no affect as if "allowFullscreen" is disabled or broken.
    I know this was brought to issue a while back - but any official new word on the situation.
   ( I do know that it's possible to eventually get to FullScreen through the Pop-Up windo + F-11 key for the browser ) but a bit unconvienient.

2) The YouTube logo button ( for Watch on YouTube ) no longer appears on the embedded HTML5 player.
    So the only way to link back to and watch the video at YouTube proper is to click the Title on the embedded player.
    The trouble with this though is that if the video has not been started or is paused - clicking the Title both opens the
    video at YouTube but also starts the embedded video - so two streams occure at once.
    And if the embedded video is in the Play State when the Title is clicked, the video will open on YouTube and the
    embedded player will Pause - however it will continue to buffer - wasting network and CPU resources.

3) The right-click menu on the embedded HTML5 player will not overlay beyond the borders of the embedded player.
    It gets chopped off so must be right click near the top middle of the embedded player to be able to see the complet popout menu.

Regards,
Klementine
