You're using an old version of the add-on. This is not a recent version. Try updating the add-on manually, using the archive downloaded directly from the add-on's page. You don't need to rebuild anything, installing the latest version of the add-on is all you need.

JoshyPHP updated s9e Media Sites with a new update entry:

Added Castos. Updated Vimeo and Stitcher.

Added support for Castos. Thanks to Ask Andy About Clothes for sponsoring this addition.
Stitcher has been updated to support their shortlink URLs.
Vimeo has been updated and remains functionally the same.

Starting with this update, the release version of add-on will be tested on XenForo 2.2.

Thanks, that fixed it!

Hi Joshy, thanks for a great addon! Is there any way to stop Reddit videos from autoplaying?

 

[JoshyPHP]

As far as I can tell, there's no option for that. Judging by Reddit's code, they explicitly enable autoplay and there's no way to change it.

@JoshyPHP there're hardcoded phrases in the options. Could you please change this in the next release? Thanks a lot.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Sure, I'll add the credits at the bottom too.

Two quick questions:

I realized some of the embeds are not matching due to case-sensitivity of the URL, is there a reason why all of the embed matches are set to be case insensitive by default?

I realized while trying to figure out why an embed was not working that the match URL shown in admincp is different than match key in Parser.php. Is that expected? I was scratching my head the admincp match URL even worked given it didn't match and then found the matching one in Parser.php.

Thanks!

Most regexps are case-sensitive by default. What URLs did you try?

Yes. The regexp used by XenForo only determines what URLs should be inspected by the add-on. The URL is processed and validated within the add-on itself.

If you want to read the regexps in a more readable format, you can find them in their original format in this directory.

For 247sports, a user posted a link with a lower-case p for "/player" context path instead of "/Player". I am not sure how this user got the URL as all the player URLs from 247sports has the P capitalized.

 

[JoshyPHP]

It could be from an overzealous URI normalizer. It's a good practice to lowercase parts of the URL but not that one.

If you send me the URL that your user tried to post, I may update the site's configuration to make the user-facing regexps case-insensitive. I'll keep the regexp that work on server-supplied data case-sensitive so I get alerted if 247sports change their embed URL.

spotify links like https://open.spotify.com/track/7D8FObvhT4xSWUDfq6tUIa?si=Iyj5eh4zTzid4iaoU6nPow are sort of breaking at my end.

Does this embed Facebook pages/live streams?

Looks like an interaction with something else. This add-on does not capitalize "spotify".

Does this embed Facebook pages/live streams?

I don't think Facebook provides a way to embed pages. I don't know about live streams. If it's the same URL as a video then yes, otherwise probably not.

 

[Chromaniac]

Hmm. Looks like https://www.siropu.com/products/keyword-linking was creating issues. Have filed a bug report with him. Let's see!

Update: He provided an updated file which seems to have fixed this issue so cheers!

@JoshyPHP Not sure, but here's a currently live livestream (if you see this in time) -

If Facebook allows embedding live streams then I would assume those will work the same way regular videos do.

 

[DarkGizmo]

but see above, it does say 'video unavailable'? hm....

 

[JoshyPHP]

I can't watch this stream by clicking on the URL either, it asks me to log in. It's possible that private streams can't be embedded. I don't know how Facebook works.

Thank you so much @JoshyPHP for designing this add on. It was the solution I needed to embed .pdf files in the media gallery (hosted on my Google Drive).

I have managed to embed spreadsheets and many other items from my drive, but at the moment I can't seem to get a Google Documents file (the word processing segment). Is there something I am missing on my end or is this just not supported at this time?

Thank you again, donation being sent for the excellent work.
