I embedded a Youtube livestream video and the live stream chatbox into a web page, the video was loaded successfully but the live chat box shows "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at xn--www-gn0a.youtube.com." I am not sure where xn--www-gn0a.youtube.com is from, in the code, I did not refer to this youtube URL at all.

This issue happened only in Firefox. Chrome, IE are fine. Anyone knows why?

Thanks!

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the built-in Inspector with this element (iframe) selected.

Thanks cor-el, from the code I could see my original iframe code, which starts with "www", but the error message is xn--www-gn0a.

Can you open the chat URL in a tab ?

Does YouTube allow to open this URL in an iframe if you check the X-FRAME-OPTIONS header in the HTTP response headers ?
