s9e Media Sites 2.15.6

Is Youtube video start time supported?
Eg. The video will commence from the 10min point with https://youtu.be/qEwqgEn4ZLI?t=600

 

[Chromaniac]

Yup

 

[Mave]

Yes. As Chromaniac said, IMDb probably gives you a German title because your server's IP is associated with a location in Germany. The way to fix it is to ask the IMDb server to return content in English using a Accept-language: en-us, en header. However, the box you see when posting links is not from this add-on, this is a default XenForo feature called "unfurl." Armed with this information, your best course of action is to head to the feature request forum and ask for a way to set a Accept-language header when unfurl'ing, if there isn't already an option for that. In our age of distributed, geographically-diverse cloud servers, this should be useful.

@Chromaniac @JoshyPHP done.

Lack of interest - A way to set a Accept-language header when unfurl'ing - Embedded links now use server's language

Hey, My server is based in Germany. Unfortunately this results in many addons (like s9e media sites) using German language. See below the embedded IMDB link for "Back To The Future". Source: https://forums.tms.sx/threads/movies-general-discussion.24954/page-18#post-339509 The only way to...

@JoshyPHP Could Amazon Associate tag for .com.au be added please?
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com.au/ advises that ?tag=<affiliate code here> is added to any amazon.com.au page.

Further, is it possible to support Amazon's shortlinks, inc. unfurling? eg. https://amzn.to/3rUJc14

@JoshyPHP suggest remove/replace LiveLink support, as it's been migrated to ItemFix now.

LiveLeak - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

https://liveleak.com/

All Livelink video URLs are 404 now, I cannot see a correlation between Livelink and ItemFix, eg. https://liveleak.com/view?i=c5c_1467484605 doesn't work if trying to instead use https://itemfix.com/v?t=c5c_1467484605, as per the latters' URL sharing. Anyone know how to translate the liveleak videos to itemfix working urls?

Not every Amazon TLD supports embedded products but if there's an embedded product widget for .com.au links and you can provide its HTML I'll consider it. I don't intend to add support for amzn.to links because those redirects are burdensome to maintain and as I recall, Amazon's redirects also contain referral/tracking info that would be lost when embedded. If your goal is to monetize links, I'd advise looking for a specialized add-on which will be more comprehensive and focused on the monetization aspect. I think there's at least one or two of them that support Amazon links.

Wrt ItemFix, do they have the old LiveLeak videos? The replacing LiveLeak's domain with ItemFix's results in a mostly empty page here.

 

[Mouth]

If you can provide the HTML used for the embedded product widget, I'll consider it.

This?

Yeah, same result for me. Apparently they do have the liveleak videos, but maybe no direct transfer/translation because of new CMS?

 

[JoshyPHP]

The Amazon embedded product HTML is an iframe that looks like this:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" scrolling="no" src="//ws-eu.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/cm?l=as1&amp;f=ifr&amp;o=3&amp;t=bar-20&amp;asins=B00ET2LTE6"></iframe>

 

[Weppa333]

by the way this (important) integration is blocked by adblock, a widely used tool if any.
I would propose, if I were you, multiple ways to integrate the amazon links...

 

[JoshyPHP]

The purpose of this add-on is to replace text links with something richer. There's an option in this add-on's options that adds a link to Amazon embedded products. Apart from that, there's nothing anyone can do if people install extensions that remove any mention of Amazon from a page. Otherwise, you can always disable the Amazon media site and hope that text links aren't removed.

JoshyPHP updated s9e Media Sites with a new update entry:

Updated Instagram and Vimeo

Added support for dark theme in Instagram.
Updated Vimeo to make the BBCode more compatible with XenForo 2.2.9's format.

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[TCGMook]

While I appreciate dark mode for IG, is there a way to disable it? It appears to just be inverting the colors and this sticks out like a sore thumb...

 

[JoshyPHP]

There's no option to force its value (it always matches the forum's theme) so you'd have to edit the _media_site_embed_instagram template.

With that said, I've just checked it visually and it does look wrong. The embed's border should be darker; That part is on me and I've just fixed it. The rest of the embed however is styled by Instagram and after looking into it more closely I think it's not currently functional. It doesn't match Instagram's desktop site's theme and the text colors are wrong. Some of the code looks suspect too, like they started to implement a dark theme and gave up, or it worked at some point but they didn't keep up to date. I can't find any docs on it and the old docs I had have been replaced/removed.

So for now I'm going to disable Instagram's dark mode and I'll keep a note for the next time it comes up. It's a server-side change so you don't have to do anything. I'll re-enable it if it becomes usable.

 

[TCGMook]

You're a rockstar.

 

[The Grand Potentate]

@JoshyPHP lately we've been having issues with embeds auto-playing, especially reddit embeds. the option in the acp for auto-play is turned off. any suggestions?

 

[JoshyPHP]

Not really, no. I've tried disabling autoplay at the browser level via a feature policy but it's not being obeyed by any browsers as far as I can tell.

 

[oO5 Dynasty]

Heyyyyyyy, would it be possible to add deviantart.com?

 

[JoshyPHP]

As far as I can tell, DeviantArt doesn't have a dedicated way to embed their content so it's not particularly useful in the context of this add-on.

You can add DeviantArt to your own forums as a custom media site using XenForo's default feature. They provide an oEmbed endpoint that you can use. https://www.deviantart.com/developers/oembed

 

[hazemomier]

Twitter and Facebook stopped working any idea what's going on?

 

[Chromaniac]

This appears when tweets are deleted.
