The embeds on that page work fine for me on Chromium with no adblockers, and on Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection in Standard mode, but fails on Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection in Strict mode because it blocks everything on instagram.com.


That type of links is new to me. I'll add support for it in the next update.
That's not going to help me sadly, as you require a higher version of php now 😭
 
It works fine on my local board. What URL did you try? Paste it in a [code] block so it doesn't get replaced here.

Definitely isn't an issue with the code/URL. IG just changed something on their end. Other ones work....I feel like this is a setting they gave some publishers maybe. If you go to the URL and take the embed code:

you'll get this as well:

IG works on my forum. It loads after a few seconds.

It also loads on mine and here, just not certain posts now. It isn't a Xenforo thing though as I showed with the embed code from IG, I made a quick page on my dev server that only contained the embed code and it also didn't load. As well as on here.

I think it has to do with the reel part.

This is the link to the post:
Code:

But if you clink the 3 dot menu and select "Copy Link" you will get this URL which is a reel:

Ah ok. See I only just posted an IG video so I went by that. I see what you’re saying though.
 
All new IG emeds are just loading as links now for me.


I'm on 2.2.something. But seems to have started this morning.

Edit: If I grab the link from the web, they work as normal. I tried a different page on mobile and the same thing, just embeds as a link.

Here is a link that wont embed from my phone.

Good news, embeds work as normal again (even the previous reels that didnt work - reposted them, good to go). We did it!

I feel like an idiot now for missing this post. Disregard my breakdown above 😂
 
Some videos simply can't be embedded. That's an option that video creators can toggle at will. I assume this is one of them.

Some videos may require your browser to send a Referer header too, which is sometimes disabled at the browser level for privacy.

I found the error, it's happening only profile posts but idk why...
 
Yeah, some headers / policies will interfere with embeds. CSP can completely prevent the embed from being displayed, but in that case the error message would be generated by the browser; It wouldn't look like a YouTube page. Or as I mentioned earlier, Referrer-Policy may prevent a Referer from being sent, which would interfere with some videos if the publisher has opted to limit what sites are allowed to embed it.
 
Hey @JoshyPHP I've asked about this before but I thought it was interesting enough to ask here again but I also don't really care considering it's one member and it's such a trivial problem. I asked about playing Twitter videos and whether it opens a new window to play the video or plays in the video player. You said it had to do with clicking the right pixel, etc.

He messaged me and said I found an instance where it's weird because one video plays fine but the one you posted just a minute later kicks me to a new window.

Here is the video that played fine in browser:
Screenshot 2024-08-16 070120.webp

But here is the one that kicked him to a new window. Notice two things, that it says "view post" in the bottom and also that the video is being quote tweeted:

Screenshot 2024-08-16 065927.webp

Any thoughts?

PS. Truth Social got back to me with some generic "thank you for submitting, we'll pass along" but it doesn't appear they've changed anything. That said, if the tweet isn't short, it often displays right so that's uhh nice.
 
@zzlpolitics If you send me a link to those posts I'll look into it, but AFAICT that's entirely Twitter's decision. It's possible their layout does not reliably "linkify" the correct parts of the tweet, or they're running some kind of A/B testing.
