Fixed Media slider not showing content

[ojkarlsson]

Affected version

2.0.1

Hi, I‘ve configured the media slider widget in the forum list sidebar.
Media slider configuration is: random, 1 item, max. 1 item, no auto play, no loop, no pager



When refreshing the page, the media slider does not show the image, only sometimes. It occurs that a browser tab switch or a browser back and forth navigation makes the image appear.
I‘ve tested with multiple browsers and themes.
Once I‘ve changed the configuration to more than one image, then it works better.

I can confirm this with Chrome 63.0.3239.132.

It appears to happen on first ever visit, on returning to the site after a while and I can get it to occur with ctrl+f5 too, again this is all intermittent.

Once it has loaded once, every regular refresh afterwards works fine.

Does not happen for me in Firefox no matter what I try.

I confirm, just often enough I see that the block of random media is empty.

Can confirm that the random media slider widget is broken.

Still seeing this in XF 2.0.2

Repro:

1. Navigate to https://dvcinfo.com/forum/
2. Click Ctrl+F5 to force refresh

Result:

• Random Media is blank about 30% of the time

This is still happening in MG 2.0.3

This might be fixed in MG 2.0.4.

I noticed it a lot here, but I haven't since some other changes were made to the media block here, last week.
After updating to MG 2.0.4 (likely next week) let us know if the issue persists.

It seems to work fine, thank you very much (Firefox 59.0.2 (windows 10) and iPad Air 2)

After upgrading from XF2.0.3 to XF2.0.6 (and newer) it's working as expected.

Thanks for the fix
