Anyone else have a problem viewing videos on here? Like the Toskola one. I can see it on est1967 fine, but here it's just a blank white box. ???

you mean like this? i thought it was just me, as i've been having issues with flash & firefox....

hm. anyone else?

Yeah, they show up like that for me as well. The youtube ones mostly work for me though. It's just the other videos.

ok, von has confirmed he gets it too. he's the "mod tech" for lack of a better term here, so he'll eventually check it out. thanks everyone for pointing it out. it's seemingly random - not ALL youtube vids, not ALL other vids, etc.

Alright, should be sorted. Let me know if you're still having problems. Also, for YouTube, make sure you use the URL from the embed code to the right of the video and not the URL of the page itself.

well, now i get this:

this page works just fine, btw.

if it helps, every vid on this page is working for me, while 3 or 4 on the first page of that thread are not.

The broken videos in my own and Mike's posts are because the URL is wrong (see my post above re: YouTube videos). The one in Kanuck's post is because it's some moon format.

Basically, the problem was that the tag was forcing the content MIME type, and this broke videos that weren't that particular "type" of flash (don't ask). Now that no MIME type is being forced, when you fuck the URL up or use some moon format, your browser doesn't know what the content actually is. Fortunately, broken YouTube links are easy enough to fix - change watch?v=blah to /v/blah.

Edit: Kanuck's link is in RealPlayer format (retard). For that to work inline, you'd need a specific RealPlayer plugin for your browser, which doesn't exist. You might as well just embed a .exe.

Von's my hero.

If you were stateside, I might....well, on second thought, not a chance in hell.

Except that now that you "fixed" it it doesn't work for me anymore, where as it used to be one of the few that did. Oh well, it wasn't that exciting a video. I'd say about 3/4 of the ones do work at least, which is better than before.

This post, right? (note to self: need to fix link colours). Can I get a screenshot of what you're seeing? Make sure to clear your cache too.

Yes, my cache is clear. This is what it looks like for me.

Hmm. What happens when you go directly to the video URL ( )? You can see the video in my post fine I take it?

Yep, plays fine there.

yeah, my bad - sorry. will get on that today.

I really don't know why it wouldn't be working in that case. This is the only video that's broken for you, right?

Well, I haven't checked every single video on the site. But most of them seem to be working, yes.

So what's exactly the proper way to copy and paste YouTube videos here?

Never mind, got it. Change the ? and = to /.

yep, right here - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4070
