Videos showing the Youtube versions, rather than the on site ones

I decided to check out the "Here's What you Missed: Scream", and noticed the video player was a youtube one. I didn't think much of it, until I found out, apparently, the youtube video was a preview video and 4 minutes in or so, it says "Check out the full video on the site". Well, I'm on the site. Anyone else having this issue?

Well I know they've switched to Youtube videos for non-subscribers for one reason or another. The preview part, I have no idea.

Dave posted a news article explaining why they switched all their videos to Youtube. As far as the preview portion I am not aware for I am a subscriber and still have the regular Whiskey video player.

Pretty sure the format change is only for Giant Bomb as Dave would have posted the article over here as well and on all the other sites if it applied to all of them. I just went to that specific video and it was still the usual video format, not YouTube.

The Youtube transition is happening on every site. It looks like that video isn't working right, but someone flagged it so you should be able to watch it through the Whiskey player now.

That particular video still shows the youtube version. Other videos so far that I've tested have played using the Whiskey player, so maybe it's just a couple of the videos on the site.
