Rework how we do YouTube embeds

[markspolakovs]

Right now, while we can embed YouTube videos / streams on the website, it is a bit hacky and shit. We should consider a better solution, both visually and in terms of code style.

@Brookke I heard you had an idea about the design?

I think the simplest thing and first thing I would do would be to move the video below the current and next, in the same way banners appear - for consistency. If a banner is currently visible then it should replace the banner to avoid cluttering up the home page.

I also wonder if people would prefer to watch on the homepage of the site or have a banner equivalent that links to YouTube, similar to what we have with our URY session videos on the front page? That was traditionally what happened, but it was a more manual process, I like the idea of this being more automatic based on whether there’s a Video stream or not?

Good stuff. I think it's better to embed it if it's a live stream - it's far more eye-catching than "click here", which people may often ignore. The current implementation only embeds the stream if its associated show is live now, which we'd probably want to keep. VODs might be a different matter (in particular I'd rather not have them autoplay, which the current bodgy solution does).
