It *seems* to happen if there is something embedded, may it be YouTube or Twitter.

I just made the generic Invision theme available, switch to that and find an embedded video that hasn't worked for you in the past and try it on that theme and let me know.

HazletonEagle Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The twitter vid not playing is not a problem just with this site. Im on PC. I just tried to watch Cuomo take the covid test on live TV and act like it didnt hurt. The vid wouldnt play on that site till I visited the actual link to the tweet. Here is the website. See if it doesnt play for you guys till you go to the actual tweet. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2020/05/17/new-york-gov-andrew-cuomo-takes-covid-19-test-live-national-tv/5209175002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I click the tweet and watch it on twitter it plays. Now with the article I just posted. Id didnt play for me on that website. I went to twitter and it played. I embedded the tweet here in the blog and it actually played there too. Just now, Mike030270 said: I'm able to watch that video on that site on PC hmm weird.

HazletonEagle Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I just tried a whole bunch and right now all are working. Next time it happens Ill post it now that I know its not just me.

I don't know how to give any examples since the link doesn't even paste if it's from the mobile facebook app. It's very strange to have to paste it into safari to get the nonmobile link and then paste it here to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I submit the support ticket, I'll ask them about the mobile issue. Did you try using the generic Invision theme as a test? If things work normally on the generic skin but not our custom one, then I'll go in a different direction. Twitter: Facebook: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
