@JoshyPHP,
I was hoping you could try to shed light on an issue I have been having with Instagram embeds that affects one of my own accounts. I've been trying to figure out what's not working for a year without any success. I'm not sure if the issue is with this plugin or Instagram.
Anytime I try to embed a post from my content creator account on Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/purrfectlygeneratedcats/, the embed shows that the link to this photo or video may be broken, or the post may have been removed.
However, clicking on "Visit Instagram" brings you right to the post.
If I share the link to this Instagram post on other platforms, like iMessage it previews the post image correctly.
The only lead I have gotten was a very old reddit post saying share links may not be found for some users if a minimum age for your content is not specified in your Instagram account settings. However, my profile is managed by the Meta Account Center and not within Instagram and there is no such option to set.
Other instagram accounts have this same issue. The only thing in common is they appear to be commercial, influencer or content creator accounts. But it's not the majority of those account types that have the issue. Only some. I have seen it with some news paper publications Instagrams as well as.
Additionally, the accounts are set to public. They are not private accounts.

I can't read your full post right now, but off the top of my head, some content is restricted by the publisher even if their post is public. You can try posting that link in the test forum here, see if XenForo's default embed (which works differently from this add-on's) behaves the same way, which would indicate it's a choice at the publisher's level.

Yeah, the same happens when I test my post there as well.
So, it looks like the issue is on Instagram's end. However, that is my account, and there are no settings anywhere that I can find to adjust that have anything to do with restricting content.
Do you, or anyone know what I need to do so that my account isn't restricting my content?

probably best thing to do to check is to get the embed post directly from the post and put it on a local html file. or use something like this: https://htmledit.squarefree.com. both meta and x are mysterious with embedding content blocking randomly. the above post is not generating embed code for me.

Yeah, any and every post from my account seams to generate an iFrame either in this plugin or XenForo natively. And that iFrame, no matter where I place it shows the post not found message rather than my actual post.
The share post on X or Facebook links all resolve the post correctly as well as Apple's iMessage app. Hmm...
I looked through every last account setting I have and there is nothing that controls this that I have control over.
I have contacted Instagram's support about this in the past, but never received a response.
Wish I knew what was going on so I could fix it. I want to post my AI art on my Website but can't because it doesn't embed.

Thanks again for adding the bluesky integration, it's really beneficial to the site.

“The specified URL cannot be embedded as media.” when trying to embed some links.For example:
Code:
https://bsky.app/profile/turco.bsky.social/post/3lbfhxqgffc27

So, both the links you mentioned embed for me.
It does appear that embeds does not work if user profile has this setting enabled on account.

I don't know about settings but I did notice that un-embeddable posts don't have the "Embed" option in the
... menu. Other posts do have it.Like Chromaniac, that link embeds fine here. The host that's allowed by default,
bsky.app should also allow any of its subdomains such as embed.bsky.app.It's possible that your server is blocked by Bluesky's servers and is unable to retrieve the data it requires. If you open the page with your browser and look at its source, you will find an
oembed URL. That URL may be used to embed the post without having to connect to Bluesky:
Code:
https://embed.bsky.app/oembed?format=json&url=at%3A%2F%2Fdid%3Aplc%3Auu676udkbe3ybbyqw5oratam%2Fapp.bsky.feed.post%2F3lbkhdrwwvs27

Please add support for vkvideo.ru domain for VK (vk.com) processing. Because VK decided to make a new domain for video processing and at the moment they have redirect from vk.com to vkvideo.ru and now video previews don't work.

is youtube hopeless now? im a little confused.....works on mobile but not on laptops? is there a way around that new policy? i notice that downloader sites also have no problem with youtube lol....but i cant access
I'm not sure what you mean. youtube embeds are working fine on my site (whether browsing via mobile or desktop). You might have an issue with your laptop (javascript / security settings / browser extensions / etc.)

its this anyway....what all my links result for me.....it just hits you too because its a lie to begin with unless captchas dont work anymore?

that was basically my main source of music
Yeah. I see that on my work MacBook a lot because I'm not signed into YouTube / don't have account credentials saved.
On my personal Mac BookI rarely see this, and when I do I solve it by opening a new tab in Chrome and signing into YouTube. Then I can refresh the forum page and the videos load.
Not sure much can be done about when not signed in.
it seems like they got a vpn detector and decided to try to force ppl to sign in so they can sell more data etc.....the silver lining is it doesnt work 100% and switching vpn connection can sometimes get around it.....annoying tho, always scheming these big corporates are.
