YouTube embeds fail frequently

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Vimeo and Flickr embeds are working perfectly, but standard YouTube embeds 
using exactly the 
same syntax (and on the same page) are failing most of the time (the link is 
simply not replaced). 

To reproduce:

1) Edit flickr-example.html to use a Vimeo URL instead - it works perfectly
2) Edit it again to use any YouTube URL - it fails

The problem seems intermittent - the same embed may start working again 
tomorrow. Ah... it 
appears the issue is the fallback on http://oohembed.com/oohembed/ -- a Google 
App Engine app 
that's currently over quota. 

Dependency on this 3rd party app may be too delicate. Recommended workarounds?

Ah! I found that replacing the URL on line 149 with embedly's API endpoint 
address fixes it nicely. Not sure 
whether this is an ideal solution, but gets me over the hump for now.

this.oEmbedUrl = (oEmbedUrl != null) ? oEmbedUrl : 
"http://api.embed.ly/v1/api/oembed?";

Navite support for embed.ly has been included in version 1.1 of the 
jquery-oembed plugin.

You can see how it works in the example file "embedly-default-provider.html".
