Steve Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I know Dirk is, but I can't figure out what the problem is. I made a test thread using Chrome on Windows and with the editor in either mode, automatic embedding of YouTube vids worked fine. YouTube links have to be in a specific format for automatic embedding to work, but the format that Dirk is posting should work and works when I try it, so I'm not sure what's happening here. If you use Chrome, please reply to this thread and let me know if it's working or not for you. If you need to make a test post with a YouTube link, you can do it in this thread.

djdiggla Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm using Chrome on a Windows PC running Windows 7. I recently updated Chrome because I was forced to by certain streaming music sites and it *appears* this issue started around that time. Could be a coincidence but that's my only guess. I've tried posting Youtube links using the share button and copying straight fromt he URL bar but neither seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm running the latest version of Chrome, but on Windows 10. I really don't know what's going on here. When you submit a post, it's scanned for YouTube links: -It can be https or httpIt doesn't matter if the www is there or notIt can be "youtube" or "youtu.be", so either from the address bar or the share option on YouTubeThe URL has to end in the format, "v=XXXXXXXXXXX"The links you're submitting fit the criteria, but it's just not working. Are you running any extensions that might be interfering with it, such as script-blocking extensions? Maybe try disabling all of your extensions, see if it works, then if it does, re-enable them one at a time and do a test post until you find the culprit.

TBearOne8III Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 its happened to me once or twice. but usually i hit share on youtube and copy that link instead of whats in the address bar. the link in the share dialog box usually works on most platforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexinoodle Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Nah doesnt work here either, normal link or share code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 It'll be one of your extensions screwing with the site's functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I don't use extensions, well unless you include adblock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 I do include AdBlock. Try disabling it and see if that makes any difference. I think uBlock Origin is the best ad-blocking extension, and for me, with that enabled, I'm not having any issues with Chrome, Firefox, or the new MS Edge Chromium-based browser. But yeah, unless I can replicate the issue at my end, or people can give me specific info that helps me narrow the cause down, I can't really do anything about it unfortunately man.

Flexinoodle Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 No worries, I dont post videos here anyway, was just testing for the sake of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Switched to uBlock testing share link from YouTube Looks like it fixed it, will try out uBlock for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Cool man, glad it's working again. Make sure it's uBlock Origin you're using, not just uBlock as they're 2 different things and Origin is much better extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Yeah definitely says ublock origin in the extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
