Public bug reported:

Hello,
Every summer we update a bank of shared embedded video resources on Mahara that are accessed by students. This year we've discovered that we can't add a title as part of the text of the embed code - we can add it as the block title, but the block header font is different (much larger) so we had introduced it as a line of text in the embed code and it worked well - see screenshot (at least until YouTube deprecated "showinfo=0").
This might be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1381807 but was working last year so whatever has changed was introduced in 18.04 or 18.10.

My problem is we've now got around 2500 videos displaying the title the old way, but can't add new videos with the same display method, so we now need to change all of our content to fix something that wasn't broken. Is there any workaround for this - all of our old videos are still working and displaying the titles as we intended, so it's a major headache if we can't add new content in the same way.
Regards, Gordon.
