s9e Media Sites 2.18.9

[HJW]

@HJW Yes, a few days ago TikTok started rejecting some HTTP requests based on browser type. The latest update uses a different "user-agent" which seems to be better supported.

Brilliant, that's fixed it now thanks

Does instagram API allow embedding of reels? I'm noticing a lot more are posting these now

 

[JoshyPHP]

I don't know. What would be the URL of an Instagram reel?

FYI

On uninstall of this add-on, even the basic youtube links would no longer embed on Xenforo. I checked settings, and the selection to automatically embed media was still selected, but it wasn't embedding.

I've since reinstalled and embeds work again, just letting you know because I had to disable add-ons briefly while tracking down a problem on my forum. Seems like the uninstall might not be completely clean, not sure.

 

[JoshyPHP]

I've just tested uninstalling version 2.6.19 of the add-on on XenForo 2.2.2 and it automatically reinstalls the default media sites that ship with XenForo, whether or not the add-on was disabled before uninstalling. It may be possible for unrelated issues to interfere with the uninstall step or add-on but afaik everything's fine under normal circumstances.

If you simply disable the add-on (while leaving it installed) none of the supported media sites will work.

Hi
can you added support for krakenfiles.com ? thanks .

 

[briansol]

running the latest update, my amazon links aren't expanding any more, did something change?

Even when they allow embedding, file hosters are generally not a good fit for a media site so I'll have to decline.

running the latest update, my amazon links aren't expanding any more, did something change?

No, the last change was in October 2020 and it was very minor. What URL did you try?

 

[briansol]

sent a pm with a sample url

Everything okay with *****ite for you guys?

My Embeds are not showing the title of the video, only the frame video. But plays normal. I just can’t reach the *****ute site.

What's being censored in this comment?

 

[Paul B]

It's BitChute.

 

[djbaxter]

Thanks. Why would that be censored? (and why wasn't it for you? Staff override?)

 

[Paul B]

The first 5 letters form a word which is in the censor.

There's no staff override - I just used bbcode to bypass it.
That's not something we typically permit but in this case it's a false positive.

 

[djbaxter]

Ah. That makes perfect sense. Thanks.

hi josh

is there any way to stop reddit videos form autoplaying? they are a proper mare, have you noticed or had similar issues? (it might be default xenforo, i'm not sure, but hoping you might know more about it than me)

It looks intentional on their part.

is there any way to stop reddit videos form autoplaying?

None that I know of. The add-on uses their default embed code and they don't provide an option to toggle autoplay. In theory it would be possible to disable autoplay at the browser's level but in some cases it may prevent the video from playing at all.
