View Full Version : Video links broken

Somehow our Vimeo support is broken now. The BBcode is correct, but the videos won't show anymore when we post them. Likewise for DailyMotion.
Could it have something to do when we transferred the forum to https?
And if so how do we fix this.
Many thanks.

Make sure you embed the HTTPS version of the URL and in case you use custom BBCode, it should embed as HTTPS and not HTTP.
You can also try adding <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests"> to the headinclude template.

These are the two codes i have in my template bbcode.Do any of these need an update .
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'vimeo'" />
<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" data="//vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id={vb:raw code}">
<param name="movie" value="//vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id={vb:raw code}" />
<param name="wmode" value="{vb:raw wmode}" />
<!--[if IE 6]>
<embed width="640" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="//vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id={vb:raw code}" />
<![endif]--></object>
<vb:elseif condition="$provider == 'dailymotion'" />
<object class="restrain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="349" data="https://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{vb:raw code}">
<param name="movie" value="https://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{vb:raw code}" />
<param name="wmode" value="{vb:raw wmode}" />
<!--[if IE 6]>
<embed width="560" height="349" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{vb:raw code}" />
<![endif]--></object>
We are using 4.2.1
I am also thinking it may be a flash issue

Update
Ok i have fixed this and its just a flash issue.
In google chrome I had to go to settings and then content settings.I then clicked on the flash icon and it gives you an option to add a website.As soon as i added my website it all worked.
I am not sure why you have to do that but there must be something in the firefox browsers also where you have this option.
Yes flash is being deprecated everywhere these days, which is a good thing.
If possible, see if you can find a HTML5/JS version of the embed code.

I've found that in order to get vimeo videos to work you must tell chrome to "always allow flash from this site".

Also here's an interesting answer from Vimeo staff:

You will need to use our standard embed code unless you're a PRO member. Our embeds default to HTML5 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35055233/vimeo-video-player-in-html5) and use it wherever possible.
