s9e Media Sites 2.18.6

[PompeyFC1878]

Hi Joshy - uploaded all the the files, gone to install and it says I have 41 files missing. But I have deffo uploaded all the files from within the Zip file. Running PHP 8.1 and Xenforo version 2.2.8

 

[JoshyPHP]

There are exactly 41 files in the archive's file registry, so my guess is that you didn't upload them where XenForo expects them to be. Check out the general support forum about installing add-ons directly from the archive so that you don't have to unzip or upload anything manually.

That'll be fixed in the next update. VK does a thing where it checks whether it's a browser accessing the page, so the add-on has to pretend to be a browser in order to retrieve some of the IDs. They also check whether it's a recent browser, so the add-on needs to be updated whenever VK update their requirements. Currently the add-on pretends to be Firefox 62 ESR, next update it will probably pretend to be Chrome 124 and from what I can tell that should fix it.

In the meantime, you can either craft the BBCode manually as you described, or post the full URL of the video which can be found in the page's source, and possibly in the "Share" menu which I can't access because I don't have a VK account. In this case, this:

https://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=-131607049&id=456240812&hash=f28d20fc3d6edcb6

The situation happened again, only now the processing is not on FireFox and the message "An error occurred" is displayed. To be more precise, no processing works on VK via FireFox. Everything is fine on other browsers. Apparently, the processing requirements you mentioned have changed.

FireFox console:

<div id="video_box_wrap-169717707_456239027" class="video_box_wrap"> <div class="video_box_msg"> <div class="video_box_msg_background" style="background-image:url(https://i.mycdn.me/getVideoPreview?id=6023259949609&amp;idx=4&amp;type=39&amp;tkn=-UQAN6tMuhmNxCKa8SDQriiNaxY&amp;fn=vid_x);"></div> <div class="video_box_msg_text">Произошла ошибка</div> </div> </div>

I'm not sure what's in those screenshots but I tried posting https://vk.com/video-169717707_456239027 to my local board and it was automatically converted to this:

[MEDIA=vk]hash=f28d20fc3d6edcb6;oid=-131607049;vid=456240812[/MEDIA]

What happens when you try to post a VK URL? Does it get replaced with a [MEDIA] BBCode? If not, it might be that VK blocks your server's IP. Otherwise, if the BBCode is created correctly but the video isn't displayed correctly, it might be that VK doesn't like your browser or your residential IP.

Specifically for the example, here's the video https://vk.com/video-169717707_456239027 and when you publish it, it converts it to

[MEDIA=vk]hash=8bc8f2f2bdd2b7e560;oid=-169717707;vid=456239027[/MEDIA]

In fact, your plugin works as it should and converts correctly. Other browsers can see it. The problem is in FireFox for some reason...
The display problem is specifically in desktop Firefox 128.0 x64. I have checked FireFox from different ISPs and VPNs. Everywhere is the same exactly with PC. On the mobile version everything is ok. Google Chrome and others load without problems in any form. Ideas? It's strange that everything is fine for you, it's not clear what's wrong yet. IP definitely doesn't affect it, the problem is different.

If the BBCode is created correctly then it's something in VK's software. I don't know why they'd block some versions of Firefox though, it might be some kind of false positive.

I tried an early version of FireFox and everything works. The cause has been found... We have to figure out what they have updated that killed the processing on version 128.0.

Spoiler

Looks like VK just hasn't been updated to the current FireFox support changes. The only thing that's obvious. Because past versions show everything as it should.
Maybe we should just wait.

Added... but all X videos now jut say "Loading Tweet"
Did I miss a setting, or forget something obvious?

 

[JoshyPHP]

There's no associated setting. Most adblockers prevent tweets from loading, so make sure to try it with a fresh browser profile with no extensions installed. If you send me a link to a public page in your forums that shows a Twitter video, I'll look into it.

Thanks for the qwik reply. I disabled the add-on so my members wouldn't freak out.
After I posted my post, I did a search and found others having that issue.... something about it being a twitter issue and beyond your control. I am using xen 2.2.... php 8.3, and Brave browser - could that be the issue?

 

[JoshyPHP]

As far as I can tell, my Brave install loads tweets normally. You can try loading the iframe directly with the following link, see if your browser works.

Same answer as above: works for me, send me a link and I'll look into it.

and any change can u support php 7.4 atleast?

None. My Linux distribution doesn't even support PHP 8.0 anymore, so I'd have to compile it myself.

but we cant use updated version then i got ur point but there should be some way for u to still support older versions sadly our one of the core addons work 7.4 and we cant change that we have to stop using s9e media addon then

 

[JoshyPHP]

FWIW, the last version of this add-on that supports PHP 7.4 is version 2.10.5.

i add it to a post just as it sits. Saved it, it created a link called "Content from twitter"



When that link is clicked, it loads a new page and says "Loading tweet"

 

[Chromaniac]

https://s9e.github.io/iframe/2/twitter.min.html#1779873378368688367 loads for me so the embeds are definitely working. What he was suggesting was to try it with ad blockers disabled and different browsers. Though it does work for me with ublock enabled. FWIW, the link loads for me on Firefox as well.

If you can't load it on its own either, it means the issue is related to the browser. Brave has an option that blocks embedded tweets, my guess is it's enabled in your browser.
