CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 After the last update they stopped auto embedding for example I will paste this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv2ZMN3T18E and it used to convert to an embedded video. Now it remains a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Looks like the issue is it will not recognize the youtube url when it is a hyperlink when it's pasted, I had to remove the hyperlink formatting to get it to work. example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaOSCASqLsE vs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should still be plain text and embed. I wouldn’t know which browser turns that into a rich text link. 18 minutes ago, CornRages said: Looks like the issue is it will not recognize the youtube url when it is a hyperlink when it's pasted, I had to remove the hyperlink formatting to get it to work. Yes, if you paste a rich text snippet containing a link, it will paste a rich text snippet containing the link. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. People would also complain if it is the other way around and the software would take for example a long text containing dozens of links and basically rip that apart and turn every link into embeds.

Chrome used to do it a few years ago but not anymore, I had a huge issue in 3.4. @CornRages can we have more info, browser etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 @chilihead Happens to me and my users on any browser. IE, Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Nobody has mentioned safari though. 12 minutes ago, opentype said: Yes, if you paste a rich text snippet containing a link, it will paste a rich text snippet containing the link.

Really the forum software should take into account a url that starts as https://www.youtube.com/watch and automatically recognize as a url that requires embedding regardless of format. I thought it was a bug since it previously had zero issues converting to an embedded video in older versions. It only started acting up after the last two patches got applied. What's also interesting to note is that the remove formatting button only appears occasionally when pasting a youtube link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That's odd, they should be embedding I have no issues with Chrome and embeds. I'd file a support ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's embedding once it's converted to plain text, the issue is that it shouldn't matter if it's a hyperlink or plain text, the software should just recognize https://www.youtube.com/watch as something that requires embedding for simplicity with all users. Something for the developers to think about going forward IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Seems something else is at play, I am not getting the hyperlinks. That's right click, copy URL, paste from the 1st listing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Really, that is odd. Whenever I grab the url from the search bar and paste it the software always makes it a hyperlink. example https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/425473-anyone-having-an-issue-with-posting-youtube-links/ https://www.google.com/ Those are both pasted from the search bar in IE11 and they both got auto converted to hyperlinks. :btw will post my last reply in the feedback forum per your suggestion.

If as you say, the difference is plain URL vs. link HTML snippet, then why would the recent updates change what all your user’s browser have in the clipboard. 1 minute ago, CornRages said: Those are both pasted from the search bar in IE11 and they both got auto converted to hyperlinks. Sounds more like a bug report for Microsoft then. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That is right click copy link paste. That is from browser address window. That is from share box. All IE 11. File a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornRages Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/Wq2LQZS.gifv Tried another url to see if it auto converts to a hyerlink and it does. Does that happen for you guys too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very odd. I'm using Firefox and copying and embedding the links worked flawlessly. I right click the links and click 'Copy link location'. I've never had issues embedding youtube in IPS4.x and this is even better in IPS 4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
