TYPO3 Core

In TYPO3 6.2 the "media" content element does not handle Youtube videos correctly: it renders a wrong URL into the object tag.

I compared 6.1 and 6.2, added a "media" element in both and used the same Youtube URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0AW-wtPl1o); in 6.1 I get the following URL in the object tag:

http://www.youtube.com/v/e0AW-wtPl1o?fs=1

In 6.2 I get the following:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/e0AW-wtPl1o?fs=1

When examining the URLs, I found out that the one from 6.1 loads a Flash file, while the URL generated in 6.2 fetches an HTML page (which in turn does not play in the Flash object). So in my opinion there are two options:

1. Revert the URL rendering to what it was in 6.1.
2. Change the media element so that Youtube videos are not rendered using Flash, but an Iframe (which is what Youtube recommends anyway).
