Do embedded videos appear for you? Please check this out and let me know.

[MannDude]

I've seen a couple reports of embedded videos not working for some people, while for most I do believe they appear properly. On all my devices, whether it be Linux or Windows powered (or Android), I've had no issues seeing the embedded videos in posts. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, DWB and even the dreaded IE... it works for me.

But, even people with common setups are reporting videos appear to them as blank white squares or just emptiness in a post. With that said, let's do a little test. Let me know if you can see the below video, and if not, please list your OS and your browser. I'm ticketing IPBoard regardless, but figure the more info collected the better.

Even if the below video doesn't load for you, you've probably already seen it 20X.

Eh? Can you see that above?

 

[MannDude]

FFS. Comically enough I just ran updates on my PC about an hour ago and now I can't see the damn video in Chrome. Firefox, sure, can see it. Opera? Yep. DWB. You betcha.

 

[GIANT_CRAB]

I can see it.

Opera 12 (Presto engine)

Hint:

 

[Nett]

No, but when I visit the URL (https://www.youtube.com/embed/W8_Kfjo3VjU?html5=1&fs=1) it works.
 
 Error code: 

[removed]

 

[MannDude]

It is https. If you quote my post you'll see that the URL in the media tag shows https

 

[MannDude]

Hmm, seems to be working now. Can you guys confirm?

Made an edit to the media tag.

Yep.

 

[splitice]

works for me. Chrome / Windows 8

 

[MannDude]

To those of you who saw error codes, what are you using to have those displayed? Seemed to me like it was a nice organized list, but I am not seeing this feature in any of my browsers...

 

[Nett]

Chrome --> JavaScript Console

 

[ndelaespada]

Works fine on chrome

 

[sv01]

works fine on Firefox 28.0, Fedora 20 64 Bit. I don't use flash

 

[blergh]

Seems to work now, didn't work earlier as it would just display an empty space.

Looks like curtis changed the URL to src="//youtube instead of http:// or https://

It finally works for me again. I know there was more than a few times that I had to edit a post

to give a link to a video because it wouldn't load.

That one works.
