Topic: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

Temporary forum glitch? Embedded videos have disappeared, all we have is links.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

And embedded music mp3...

I was to ask the same, but was waiting a bit in case was temporary as part of some Forum feature's update.

It is fixed.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

Well now, if only a glitch could speak possibly it would just announce: I’m back?

Because I’m seeing reoccurrences of “video not available,” wherever there were YouTube videos embedded at this site —and no SoundClould players but only links to the audio outside— I conclude something again is wrong...

This problem has arisen again, apparently. 

Whenever at this site and on an iMac or iPad previously embedded posts are missing.  However, they continually do appear within the browser of my smart TV...

No problem here, strange...

"Computer science" is something capricious sometimes.

I just cleared my cache to no avail.

Here I’m attempting to post from Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington, Love You Madly [Video]:

This is a test...

Hello!

Video working fine ( all ) with Firefox, but only link with Safari ( using both on a Mac mini).

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

As Stig said. Perfect with firefox, just the links with Safari (I never use).
Is it a matter of parameters or a bug ? That's the question.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

I can play the videos - I just can't [reliably] play the embedded MP3 files, and even when I can, the progress bar on the bottom does not show, and the total time of the piece is absent,

Anyone with this problem?  Running Windows 10 on a Microsoft Surface.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

In forum.js, Safari and Firefox are interpreting the scope of "params" in the first line of this function differently:

service: async (name_or_url, params, headers)=>{
        var params = Object(params);
        [...]

Firefox initialises the local "params" with Object([the passed in parameter "params"]) but Safari initialises it with Object[itself]).

Not sure who's doing it right and who's doing it wrong but renaming the local to e.g. locparams makes it go away:

service: async (name_or_url, params, headers)=>{
        var locparams = Object(params);
        [...]        
        return fetch(url, {headers:headers, method:'POST', body:JSON.stringify(locparams)}).then((r)=>{

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

Thanks for debugging
I updated the script. I think it is an error from Safari. Object() should just make a cast here, but for an unknown reason params is set to an empty object.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

Does anyone else have a problem with Chrome just playing the embedded MP3s on Windows 10?  Mine intermittently don't play, or play but don't show that position within nor the total length of the piece.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

Honestly, I have no answer to give to you since I’m myself on an iMac.

Have you maybe an example to post as a test, same as I did?  If you just start as you would reply regularly to a post that includes an example of the audio in question, specifically, that you describe as problematic, you’re able then to copy it and post it at this thread (here), only so that others can see...

Matter-of-factly, I see that’s something still wrong probably with some audio players even on the Mac I’m using and now in Safari and Chrome both!

SoundCloud embedded files appear about three (3) times their usual height.  That’s taking up now quite a lot of area on the pages I’m viewing.

Man, they’re taking up a lot of prime real estate!  (So, there’s obviously a fix still needed.)

Anyway, thank you guys who’ve help so far.  I really do appreciate the immense help I’ve gotten, as now I can see clearly the Love You Madly [Video] I posted on this page and in Safari.

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

Sure, Amen...

Here's a link to an MP3 that plays, but the 'dot' on the line doesn't move on my Chrome browser, and it doesn't show the total time of the file, so I have no idea how far into it I am when I listen to it:

"Here's a late night composition that I put together while I couldn't sleep. I started off by playing a short improvisation with the U4 Midnight preset, then I added a few orchestral layers to add more texture. Let me know what you think!

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

The Pianoteq forum hrefs for the audio contain the shortened-for-display URL text e.g.

<a href="https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?f...shadow.mp3">https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?f...shadow.mp3</a>

Over on the Recordings For... forum the hrefs have the full escaped URL so it's working there e.g.

<a href="https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?file=Chopin%20Prelude%20variation.mp3">https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?f...iation.mp3</a>

Re: Hey, what happened to embedded videos?

OK I've got working video players and working audio players now in Safari on both iOS and macOS.
