The release notes for JWPlayer v8, indicate that support for embedding YouTube videos has been dropped:
Here's a conversation about it on Github that they have locked:
Using JW Player Release Channels. JW Player supports two release channels. Each channel is automatically updated with the latest player versions available. Production channel: This is the default and recommended channel for most customers. The production channel always hosts is the latest stable and tested version.
I enjoyed using JWPlayer because I could use the same api and player interface for embedding YouTube videos and non-YouTube videos.
Is anyone developing a JWPlayer provider for YouTube? Is there an alternative to JWPlayer that supports YouTube and non-YouTube videos?

Please see the Github issue here where the Youtube provider code used in the repo before it was removed can be found: https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer/issues/2894
