Solved [Only Topic] YouTube videos in Internet Explorer & Chrome

Post by DJG-Scotland August 12th 2016, 12:07 am

Embedded YouTube videos are not showing in Internet Explorer. There's just a narrow solid vertical black box where the video should be. They appear and play OK in Firefox though. All my members have reported the same problem, and I can see the problem too. Any ideas?

Made into an Only Topic:  Please only posted in this topic if you are having issues with Youtube videos when you use Internet Explorer and Chrome.

It's just any YouTube video. They all do the same, even those that were previously working.

This was happening on our site this morning as well. Any youtubes posted showed a long black square. It corrected itself for a short time but it's doing it again. Posting the link using the youtube icon looks like this:

I see the video.  I am using Firefox.

I just loaded this topic in Internet Explorer.  I just get a post with a big white space.

Question:  Is this happening in Windows 10 Edge?

I just tried it in IE 10, and Chrome, I see the white space/black box.

Firefox is ok. This was never a problem. I always have two browsers open Chrome and F/Fox and never had this issue before.

I am using a PC neither one of those links helped. The chrome link can't find the file in the instructions that tells you to look for.

Microsoft link keeps wanting to update adobe. I updated it three times, it keeps saying to update it.

I've noticed the same issue today. Works for mobile users, but not for PC users. Clearing Chrome and even the forum's own cookies has not worked. Chrome, btw, is responsible for updating Adobe flash player. Even trying it here doesn't work.



Same black bar.

Update:
Checked other sites and youtube videos play smoothly in theirs. The problem is isolated to this forumotion website's.

Post by Syndicate August 12th 2016, 5:28 pm

Came in to say I am having the same issue on our forum. Works fine on firefox but not on Chrome.

There is a way around it. I found a JS which coverts youtube links into auto-embed.

In the topics only

Code:
jQuery(function(){
 
  var ancho = "560";
  var alto = "315";
 
  jQuery('.postbody a[href*="youtube.com/watch"]').each(function(){
      var ytid = jQuery(this).attr('href').split("v=")[1].split("&")[0];                             
      jQuery(this).html("<iframe width="+ancho+" height="+alto+" src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/"+ytid+" frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe><br>");
  });
});

So if you post just the youtube link like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bag1gUxuU0g Then that code will auto-embed it and so far it works fine.

But it's just a temp solution till the old way gets fixed.

Post the link, hit send without previewing and it works.
