If you use the EmbedVideo extension to embed a youtube video eg {{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}} then the html created delivers the youtube content over http. If the wiki running the EmbedVideo extension is delivering content over https then the resulting page is detected by modern browsers as containing mixed content and the youtube embeded video is blocked. Users can unblock the content but they might not know that they can do this. I did not know at first. The solution would be for the extension to deliver the content from youtube over https - youtube can do this. I guess the extension should some how detect if the wiki is using http or https and send youtube data in the matching format.
A comment at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:EmbedVideo#HTTPS_support_with_embedded_youtube says this could be fixed: It's pretty easy : simply modify EmbedVideo.Services.php to replace frame src "http://" by "https://" in youtube* php array.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo says this is not maintained anymore and hosted on Github, so the bug reports should probably be created at https://github.com/Whiteknight/mediawiki-embedvideo/issues instead.
Thanks Andre. I think this issue is being covered as https://github.com/Whiteknight/mediawiki-embedvideo/pull/39
Ah, thanks for finding that. Looks like it should be handled there, hence closing the ticket in WIkimedia Bugzilla as it's not handled here
