I assume your site uses HTTPS? Liveleak has had issues with HTTPS. I sent them an email about it a while ago but I don't remember getting an answer.



No, I don't think that's possible. Can you send me a link to such a post in your forums so that I can take a look at it?

Yes we are using https and that makes sense, I will keep an eye out for a potential update, thanks.

On the other guys issue we had the same problem and are using the same them and here was our fix.

We needed to put an override of the iframe background color into extra.css because the frame it makes is not visible on UI.X Dark.

iframe { background-color: white; } <-- this is what we placed in extra.css and it works. We don't have an iframe anywhere else on the site as of yet so it works for us but might not for others.

Oh, I didn't know Reddit's embed was transparent. Actually only their thread embed is transparent; Their comments embed is opaque. That seems like a bug/oversight, I'll see if they can change that.

Note that all of the embeds from this add-on have an attribute that lets you target them precisely in CSS. For example:

[data-s9e-mediaembed="reddit"] { background:#fff; }

Oh perfect we will switch to that instead, I like to have things targeted instead of global.

Did you ever figure out the Amazon showing an advertisement instead of the item or is that basically something on their side?

Actually I changed my mind and decided to add a white background to the embed rather than try my chance reporting the issue. Normally you should be able to remove that CSS rule altogether.

Nope. I noticed such occurrences dropped from ~50% to ~10% the last time I checked. I think they have a faulty server and every time their load balancer hits it, you get the orange thing. Anecdotally, it seemed that disabling "Do Not Track" in my browsers helped but I think it's just a coincidence.

Maybe they were being dirty and thought that it'd be a good chance to advertise, lol

Not too sure what kind of sinister voodoo magic you used, but when I checked my website this morning I did get the white background, without even needing to update your addon.
Everything is working perfectly and looks neat now!

Thanks!

@JoshyPHP got a new hiccup with the new york times video

@Rambro That's because it's an article. In the article there's a link to the video's page: Watch in Times Video » If you post this link, the video will be embedded.

Ooops, my bad. I thought the link I copied was the break out video page. Sorry for the bother.

Hi there

Is there a way to get images from Google Photo Albums to show in posts?
This is the share url from one of my members - https://goo.gl/photos/inFC3ZqnnekoDaydA

But when inserting it as an image it doesn't show the image.
Thanks.

 

[Chromaniac]

I do not think Google Photos has any official embed code. Picasa had that and those embeds were also disabled few weeks ago. I wonder if Joshy can find an unofficial way!

 

[JoshyPHP]

No, I'm not aware of any way to embed photos from Google Photo Albums directly. The image's URL contains what looks like about 455 bytes of information encoded in base64 so I guess there's a good chance the URLs are not even permanent.

@JoshyPHP

CBS news acting up on this one . Its some weird embed link code though so I'm not sure if its the video or not.

Apparently it's Anvanto Universal Player, some sort of third-party video platform I presume. They're used by "Wink News" and they ended up in the middle of that CBS News article. CBS News videos are still hosted on their network and Anvanto doesn't seem to be used by too many people so I don't think I'll try to add support for them.

don't stress about it. its the first time that i've run into yet, thankfully. if you can do it easily, great. if not, i wouldn't think twice about it.

I might be not using my brains but is there a way to disable a single site (since LiveLeak isn't working for us with https) without just deleting it?

 

[JoshyPHP]

@suineg You can disable individual sites in the Admin CP in Home > Options > s9e Media Pack, look for "Excluded sites" or enter "s9e_excluded_sites" in the search box in the top right. Enter "liveleak" in the text field and it will be removed, never to be added again.

Perfect, I did that and will just monitor any changes that happen but I know that's not on you it's on them and the way SSL works.

Just had a strange case with Google+ integration. On my board.

This did not get embedded: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/GggyvfecwrW
This got embedded: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/JKV6ehJxSqW

Both are part of collections and not communities from what I see. Community posts do not get embedded.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Yup, no idea about that one. One post has the "Embed post" option in the top right menu, the other does not. There's nothing in the URL that differentiates them and I can't find anything in the page either. (the option menu seems to be built dynamically) Ideally URLs to posts that can't be embedded should be rejected but I can't tell them apart.
