Why doesn’t OneBox work for my YouTube links? Here’s a link I just put in a post in Cafe Society.

I’m putting a blank line in front:

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/f15jKxf2nLs/maxresdefault.jpg "WAS (NOT WAS) - Knocked Down, Made Small (Treated Like A Rubber Ball) 1983 Restored Video") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f15jKxf2nLs)

And one space after

It looks like embedding YouTube videos is inconsistent. Checking Cafe Society, I see a lot of URLS with a space above and after with no OneBox, but I also see this [post](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-sample-is-used-in-this-primus-song/913112/3), with a nice embedded video.
