From where do you get the youtube URL.If for example you load from DB then replace http to https and then load .Hope this will solve your question.

YouTube API Team:
It’s very important to note that this is just a first step in enabling HTTPS for the entire YouTube viewing experience. In particular, only the YouTube player code is accessible via HTTPS at this time. The actual video bitstream, and some additional content loaded by the YouTube player may still be accessed via standard HTTP connections when you use an HTTPS URL in your embed code. Also note that HTTPS remains optional for YouTube embeds; we have no plans to turn off support for the HTTP URLs.
