Ok, I see. I looked at your site and it appears the add-on's CSS is missing. I can't diagnose it right now but you can always try re-installing the latest version of the add-on to see if it enables its CSS.

For reference, the Spotify embed should be square and the track's cover picture should appear at the bottom. If it looks rectangular, the CSS is probably still missing.
 
@Mave Check out the list of template modifications in your admin panel, especially the one that modifies core_bbcode.less to add the default style. It should be enabled and the last two stats should be 0.

I have no plans for hearthis.at. I had never heard of this site so I've just looked them up; They were founded in 2013 and according to Alexa they've seen some moderate growth in the last 90 days but they don't have much of a worldwide audience. I don't intend to add support for this site at the moment but I'll reconsider if they see more mainstream usage. If you or somebody else want to sponsor its addition by paying for the development time, you can send me a pm and I'll look into it asap.
 
@JoshyPHP perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

With so many forced to stay at home it was suggested we add jigsaw.com to the site. Their code for the embed looks like it should work within this add-on though I've not had any luck getting the right syntax.

Code: 
<div class="auto-style1">
<iframe src="https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&amp;pid=16a6ecde004c&amp;view=iframe" style="width:100%;height:600px" frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe>

Can this be used with the s9e format?

I realize I can add-on a new editor that would allow "parseHTML" but I'm not sure that's the best route.
 
After the newest update i only have two mediasites.
Didnt change anything and dont see option to add

This add-on contains the definitions for some media sites but the media site functionality itself is part of XenForo. So when you create a new media site you're not using this add-on, you're just using a regular XenForo feature. There's a tutorial for XenForo's media site feature on Vimeo:

I don't know, I've never seen anything like that. Try reuploading the files and reinstalling this add-on.
 
Love this add-on - just tested it for the first time. I first thought it did not work because as I scrolled down the media that was embedded didn't play in bottom right of screen - then I realized I had to click a button IN the media itself to make it auto jump as I scrolled.

Is it possible to make this a default setting like on other media sites so that if you have an embedded clip as you scroll it automatically continues playing at the bottom of screen?

Thanks and be safe and well everyone!
 
No, it's impossible for the add-on's code to know whether a video is playing inside of an iframe. The short explanation is that browsers will not let the code running outside of an iframe know what's going on inside of it, otherwise it would be theoretically possible to open your bank's website inside of an iframe then read your account info.

So it's not possible to know whether a video is playing unless the third party site wants to make that information available via an API. Very few sites offer that and each of them has a different API. Some time ago I wrote a prototype that implements YouTube's API and automatically moves YouTube videos in the corner as you described but it didn't seem like something every user would want to use. Having the video move across the screen unprompted is fairly disruptive so it felt safer to let users trigger it manually.
 
Great addon, but Youtube videos don't work when using Safari on iPhone. When I uninstalled (the latest version) it works fine again. I notice that other users have the same problem, and perhaps something to look at...
 
It's probably the same issue I had a few days ago. All of my users, using an iPhone (and Safari) including me were affected. Even on Safari for macOS it didn't work. We found a workaround for that but maybe @JoshyPHP has a better solution. Otherwise I can post, what we did to fix it. :)
 
JoshyPHP updated s9e Media Sites with a new update entry:

Added option to use the default YouTube embed

Some YouTube videos impose restrictions on which websites are allowed to embed them. This appears to be done by checking the content of the Referer header and/or accessing the iframe's parent. Because this add-on loads videos dynamically, some browsers such as Safari anonymize the origin of the request. In response, YouTube may refuse to serve...

No, and I don't think that would be maintainable. I don't know exactly why YouTube refuses to serve some videos but from what I gathered I expect most browsers to start failing soon, unless the trend towards protecting users' privacy suddenly reverses itself.

I also don't know how many videos are affected. So far, I'm aware of one.

Fair enough
 
I've just realized I didn't finish my thought; The trend in browsers is to withhold identifying information and only transmit what's absolutely necessary. If YouTube rejects too many requests on the basis that the browser doesn't disclose enough information, I expect them to change the way they handle that situation and allow those videos to be played. In other words, I expect YouTube not to let it become a problem. That's why I consider the new "Default embed" option a temporary workaround rather than a long term thing. I'm also considering other options.
 
When posting a Facebook classifieds post (when its public), the embed doesnt work, you just get a white box. Is that not supported or is it broken for me? Other FB embeds work without issue.
