Live Youtube Feed Not working in XIBO Player

We have a display layout that consists of an embedded Google slides power-point, some news tickers but we also have a LIVE sky news feed using an embedded youtube link. which does not work anymore, it shows either “This video is unavailable” or “Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available” but when viewing the video within IE it works fine and this is the same no matter what PC we install the XIBO player onto.

What player version are you using?
do you have correct entries in the browser emulation in Windows registry?

finally what Windows version are you using? I believe there are/were issues on Windows 7 for example.

Also, are you using direct link to the stream? embed link or the script with YouTube API?

1.7.9 due to using it with XAMPP, but it has worked in past within any updates, tired both windows 7/10 and yes i have imputed the correct entries.
The live stream i have tried by both a URL link and embeded code
