opentype Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The person has added a space behind it, turning it into a regular link (because there is other “content“ on the same line). I can reproduce here: Link with space after:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxy4n0UT82o Link on a truly empty line: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opentype Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Did someone change the post? I am pretty sure it was there when I checked it. But whatever—as I have demonstrated: If the media URL is not the only content in a line, it wont convert, which is a good thing, because people should also be able to just post links. The auto-embedding also needs JavaScript to kick in, which tries to reach the external service. That can also fail for various reasons (JavaScript not working, external service not available and so on), and if that is the case, the URL also won’t get converted. But I don’t see anything wrong in general. I am able to post a link to the video or the video itself. So everything is working as expected.

To make sure tehre si no space....I edited the post and just pasted the url back...........It was showing video before upgrading to IPS 4 Since upgrade it is not showing .........RegardsSaurabh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It was showing video before upgrading to IPS 4 Since upgrade it is not showing .........You could have mentioned that in the first post. There is no auto-convert for plain URLs in a post anymore. That was handled through Media Tags in 3.4, which don’t exist anymore in 4.0. The upgrade routine should convert those links. But maybe it didn’t because the URL was not the only content on the line. But it’s hard to tell now after you edited the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
