[Help!] Embedded videos on social media do not play. Previously, they did. What plug-in setting, where to enable it?

[walt93]

Describe the question
This was working before I inadvertently blew out my plug-in settings. My bad lol. Where to re-enable? Issue: paste a link to a video on Gab, Twitter, etc. In the social media app the video player used to work. Now it does not; a play button appears, and disappears when pressed; no media player.

Screenshots
1 - before hitting what looks like play button

2 - after hitting play button (button disappears, still frame remains)

Please make sure you have twitter_player option checked

[walt93]

[DanielnetoDotCom]

I turned off embed videos months ago. Every time I embedded a video it was corrupting 10-20 non embedded videos DB entries. I’ve got no embedded videos on the site now. We acknowledged but never fixed that bug AFAIK.

Looking at the social media page code ... there's no media player there ... just the jpeg

The Twitter player is for Twitter

I am not sure if gab uses it or not , it is something gab site must implement

Daniel this was working before I blew out my plug-in configuration, and I don't think Gab removed the functionality as it's still playing videos inline from other sites. Something in the open graph or twitter tags changed?

I found the issue but I am still not sure where it comes from.

I have sent a fix to try to prevent it happen.

the issue was that the gap embed URL was

https://conspyre.tv/videoEmbed/8318/more-vaccine-bloodwork-blood-cells-reportedly-clotting-after-vaccine-clotshot-nuremberg2?channelName=VeritasWorldNews&modestbranding=1&showinfo=1&autoplay=&controls=1&loop=&mute=&t=0&objectFit=%22&autoplay=1&auto_play=1

where does the %22& &objectFit=%22&autoplay=1& come from?

how are you posting the URL? are you posting the main URL or the embed URL?

[walt93]

I don't know where those additional params came from. My posts will have the url as follows:

I just did a pull and tested, all social media links are playing now. 🙏
