V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Hmm... I just see the blank white Youtube video placeholder... Flashblock disabled AdBlock disabled Click&Clean disabled etc. I don't understand. I see embedded youtoob vids on other sites just fine. Quote
Pete! Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Worked for me with Adblock enabled (not using Flashblock or Click&Clean). Had to tell Noscript to "allow this page". If you thought cartoon mating dragons was objectionable....You might have censored it. 1 Quote

V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Nope. Sure didn't. I still don't understand why this board is the ONLY site online where I cannot EVEN SEE embedded YouTube vids. Strange. Quote
zlim Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Well it has to do with something in linux because those of us running Windows see the embedded videos with no problem. Quote
Pete! Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Well it has to do with something in linux because those of us running Windows see the embedded videos with no problem. Likewise, w/ Win 10 & Firefox 55.0.3 (64-bit).... At the top of Sunrat's post (# 4) I see some html that looks like he's trying to make a couple of IFrames, followed by an a href paragraph, followed by the words "Nope, that doesn't work." Below that, is a video, that's being blocked by my "noscript" browser add-on. If I tell noscript to "allow this page" it will play. By clicking "quote" to see what he typed. The working video appears to be nested in "media" forum code. I can't speak for the administrators of this forum, but back when "dunning forums" were popular, we avoided a lot of mischief by blocking html in posts. Edited September 4, 2017 by Pete! 1 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 The ONLY browser I have on this system that can "see" embedded vids here at Scot's is Seamonkey. Neither FF nor Pale Moon show anything but a 3" x 5" or so blank image holder that when right-clicked just shows my adobe flash settings. I've tested this with ALL addons and plugins disabled in FF. Still just shows the above. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 This is what the board's software actually creates when you embed a video here (source taken from Roger's post above): <object height="[url=""]390[/url]" width="[url=""]640[/url]"><param name="[url=""]movie[/url]" value="[url=""]http://youtube.com/v/gZyjJtBIlow?version=3[/url]"> <param name="[url=""]wmode[/url]" value="[url=""]transparent[/url]"><param name="[url=""]allowFullScreen[/url]" value="[url=""]true[/url]"> <param name="[url=""]allowscriptaccess[/url]" value="[url=""]always[/url]"> <embed src="[url="view-source:http://youtube.com/v/gZyjJtBIlow?version=3"]http://youtube.com/v/gZyjJtBIlow?version=3[/url]" type="[url=""]application/x-shockwave-flash[/url]" wmode="[url=""]transparent[/url]" allowscriptaccess="[url=""]always[/url]" allowfullscreen="[url=""]true[/url]" height="[url=""]390[/url]" width="[url=""]640[/url]"></object> So, what's different about Scot's and say my board at ProBoards, for example? Here's the source from an embedded video at my board: <iframe title="[url=""]YouTube video player[/url]" src="[url="view-source:http://www.youtube.com/embed/oxHnRfhDmrk?wmode= transparent&start=0"]//www.youtube.com/embed/oxHnRfhDmrk?wmode=transparent&start=0[/url]" allowfullscreen="[url=""]1[/url]" frameborder="[url=""]0[/url]" height="[url=""]349[/url]" width="[url=""]560[/url]"></iframe> Hmm... very different. The second one (at my board) is very simplistic and does not use param values. Well, that may be a hint as to what's going on here. Quote
Pete! Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) I copied the last line of sunrat's post.... I can watch the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZyjJtBIlow Edited September 4, 2017 by Pete! Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZyjJtBIlow I can watch it too, if I copy the raw vid url, but embedded vid does not work for me. Quote
sunrat Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 The first part of my above message was testing to see if Vimeo could be embedded. That's what didn't work. When I tested the YouTube video (with the http tweak) it worked fine. In Firefox in Linux. Lately I've been getting the latest Flash directly from Adobe, extracting it and putting libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins. Works every time whereas the old automatic packages like flashplugin-nonfree are currently broken. 1 Quote
zlim Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I'm running Palemoon v 27.4.2 on a Win 32 computer and can see and play YT and Vimeo. In noscript, I've allowed scottsnewsletter.com , google.com and youtube.com Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Meh... embedded vids issues at Scot's are NOT high on my priority list right now. Quote
Cluttermagnet Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) You guys obviously solved whatever YouTube video embedment problem. Good job! I watched both videos. Clutter P.S. Vimeo? I dunno... web pages have gotten waaaaay too complicated... Edited September 12, 2017 by Cluttermagnet Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Hasn't been solved for me, but I'm special. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Hey! I just noticed something.... Now I can see the embedded box, but it has an image and a notice that YouTube no longer supports flash-embedded videos. Well, that's an improvement over the blank white space in these posts. Clutter... Vimeo's nothing new. It's been around since 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vimeo Quote
sunrat Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOd4-T_p5fA This has Codecs 243/opus (251) according to debug info. 243 webm 640x360 360p 379k , vp9, 24fps, video only, 4.45MiB 251 webm audio only DASH audio 114k , opus @160k, 1.90MiB Check if you are able to play those.

zlim Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Plays fine in Palemoon 27.7.2 I don't know a thing about codec 243 or optus 251. Quote
sunrat Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 ...I don't know a thing about codec 243 or optus 251. vp9 is the new open video codec from Google - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9 opus is the new open audio codec from Xiph.org who also developed FLAC and Ogg - http://opus-codec.org/ WebM is the new open media container format - https://www.webmproject.org/about/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM These are open, free alternatives to the proprietary HEVC H.265, AAC, and mp4. When I say "new", WebM has been around for 8 years and VP9 for 5. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 This is what I see... It plays fine when I actually go to YouTube, though. Firefox ESR 45.9.0 Quote
sunrat Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 But it's not a Flash embedded video. It's HTML5.

sunrat Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 WebM has been supported for years. That shouldn't be the issue. From the Wikipedia link I posted above: Native WebM support by Mozilla Firefox,[7][8] Opera,[9][10] and Google Chrome[11] was announced at the 2010 Google I/O conference. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I've had embedded YouTube issues on this (and ONLY this) forum for a couple years already. I've gotten used to it. Quote
