Google Places Bug: Videos Go Missing

Google MapsYet another Google Maps bug to report but to be fair, they might all be related - this one is of the videos not showing on Google Maps/Places landing pages for businesses.

A Google Places Help thread has confirmed reports from Google on the bug. Vanessa from Google Maps team said:

Thanks, guys! So this might be related to the bug from last week — we're pushing out a more permanent fix for that one Thursday/Friday. I'd like to check back in end of day Friday to see if these videos are back up. (So don't touch anything in your account, just sit tight.) And then if that doesn't work, I'm gonna do an edit > submit on some of your listings, Susan, and Linda if you have some examples, see if the videos come back by Monday. And from there I'll check back in on next steps.

As far as I can tell by scanning some examples and the forum thread, the bug is still not fully fixed.

I think Google is working really hard on the underlining bugs with Google Maps/Places and when they do their new release (who knows when), I am hopefully the number of bugs will drop drastically.
