s9e Media Sites 2.16.8

[Moshe1010]

Hi @JoshyPHP,

What's the best way to add bunny.net embed code?

Their videos look like this in terms of the URL:

https://video.bunnycdn.com/play/{video_library_id}/{video_id}

which translated to:

https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/embed/{video_library_id}/{video_id}?autoplay=false

Thanks

You'd need to create a custom media site, which is a default feature in XenForo and doesn't require this add-on. There's a section in the manual about it. XenForo 1.x used to require PHP in order to support multiple variables/IDs, but I'm not sure how those are handled in XenForo 2.x. My own media sites are generated programmatically so I don't normally use XenForo's admin panel and I'm not familiar with it.

Would you mind adding bunny.net to your add-on ? It’s pretty common media hosting these days after Vimeo

 

[JoshyPHP]

I looked into it but I don't see much link sharing from that domain on Reddit and I don't think it's really popular among the average users, so I'll have to decline.

If you want to sponsor the addition of that site into this add-on, send me a message with an actual example of each type of URLs you'd like to support and I'll give you a quote asap. Otherwise, if you're having troubles creating a custom media site for yourself, ask about it in the general support forum and I'm sure someone will help you.

When I "create" a link via the share button in the amazon app, I've get a URL like: https://amzn.to/3XNctZf
This isnt converted with your add-on as "real" amazon links are.
Any possibility to include this shortend version as well?

 

[Chromaniac]

amzn.to are usually affiliate links. might be better to use an addon to tag all amazon links. amazon here in india has started generating links like these https://amzn.eu/d/0PWauUu which are more annoying if you are creating affiliate links on the fly using an addon.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Yes, it would remove the tracking/tag from the amzn.to URL, although it would re-add the associate tag configured in the add-on, if applicable. The issue with those short links is that in order to embed them, they need to be resolved (by the server hosting that forum) and Amazon does not like that kind of automated activity. They tend to block those requests, causing them to fail unpredictably.

I recommend add veed.io
Good free service. Allows you to upload videos of large sizes (250 Mb) without registration.

Sample url
https://www.veed.io/view/3bb96100-cec4-4051-aa66-0363e0336094?sharingWidget=true&panel=share

Embed code

<iframe src="https://www.veed.io/embed/3bb96100-cec4-4051-aa66-0363e0336094" width="744" height="504" frameborder="0" title="123.mp4" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

My users get problem with Tumblr. If they use Share → Copy link via Tumblr dashboard (https://www.tumblr.com/) or search page (https://www.tumblr.com/search/), media won't inserted.
For example:
https://scianvih.tumblr.com/post/691082761549856768 — ok
https://www.tumblr.com/scianvih/691082761549856768?source=share — error
While default Xenforo media here works ok with both links:

I didn't know the www. URLs existed, that's why they were treated as normal links. I'll add support for them in the next update.

XenForo's default media site for Tumblr works differently than this add-on's, that's why they may support different kinds of URLs.

I post a lot of news on one of my sites which has to do with politics. For some reason of late, some CNN links to articles unfurl, while others don't. They seem to have the same paths other than the article name, yet it is his and miss now.

Examples of URL's that don't Unfurl...

Examples of URL's that do...

DeSantis appointees would oversee Disney's theme parks under bill to revamp Reedy Creek | CNN Politics

Gov. Ron DeSantis may soon get to pick the people who govern Disney's Orlando-area theme parks, a move that would give the Republican leader new authority over the state's largest employer and a recent political foe.

The GOP-led House select subcommittee on so-called weaponization of the federal government will draw upon a prominent ex-Democrat, two of their Republican Senate colleagues, and a former FBI agent in their first public hearing to discuss how they believe the government has been weaponized...

Any idea why this happens?

For some reason of late, some CNN links to articles unfurl, while others don't.

Unfurl'ing is a default XenForo feature, unrelated to media sites or this add-on. Judging by what you posted, that's something you could report as a bug.

Bug reports

If you find an error or something that looks out of place in XenForo 2.x, please let us know here. A developer will look into your report as soon as possible. Please do not report bugs in add-ons here. Official add-ons have their own bug forums.

Hello! I'm (finally) upgrading a 1.5 forum which was using the old s9e Media Pack add-on, and I wondered if once the 2.x upgrade's complete, installing s9e Media Sites will mean previous embeds show up as they did before? Thanks!
