LDDG Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Is anyone having issues with embedding Facebook videos? All of a sudden, none of my FB videos show up in my articles/posts. It will show the FB post but the video itself does not. I tried embedding a FB video here as well and it does not work. So at least I know it's not an issue just on my end. Could it be that FB changed the way they allow videos to be embedded and IPS needs to update this? Here is a sample video embed and how it's currently showing up without the video: Can anyone try a FB video embed on their site and see if it's working for them by just copying and pasting the video URL?

Simon Woods Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Just tested on my site. Same thing happens -- the update text and everything else appears fine but no video.
Bernardo Rezende Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I'm using version latest version 4.1.12.1 and I'm having the same problem
opentype Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Make it a bug report or support ticket so it gets addressed. It’s not working as intended (anymore) and can be replicated by different users on different (or maybe even all) sites.
LDDG Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 Yes, I already opened a ticket and it has been escalated to Tier II Support.
Daniel F Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 This was fixed for 4.1.13 Cybero, ADKGamers and SaltyBart 3

rllmukforum Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I've noticed the same thing with twitter, although I'm unsure of the exact steps to replicate it failing. However, sometimes it fails entirely, others it crops a portion of the embedded content. This has been our experience of 4.1.x since upgrading from 3.4 in April if you're using Firefox, however it now seems to affect any browser.
CherryGirl69 Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 When I tried to embed a facebook video I got a advert banner for hostgator!! The source for the post was;- <div class="ipsEmbeddedOther" contenteditable="false"> <iframe data-controller="core.front.core.autoSizeIframe" data-embedid="27e677e091317b94549de7711435d3f3" scrolling="no" src="https://www.seaselect.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=embed&url=https://www.facebook.com/mp45workout/videos/1657069681265789/" style="overflow: hidden;"></iframe> </div> <p> </p> But it did not embed the video and instead posted;- IPB support say that Hostgator is blocking the facebook video link and putting an ad link and Hostgator say it is coded in by Invision, Hostgator said "I would begin to question Invision as potentially being maliscious." I told them they were stupid for saying that!!!! Anyone have any ideas please?

I get the same result when posting YOUR iframe code on my site. Pasting the FB video URL you used directly embeds fine with my host.

bern5 Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 I tried in my own ips4 forum. I pasted the iframe code and it didnt show the player?

I see people make that mistake every now and then For example, if this is the link to your Facebook post/video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=305251229919253 You'd just paste that link in, hit enter, and.. Viola!
bern5 Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 I pasted the link . Doesnt work. Its vimeo video not yt or fb
opentype Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 “it doesn’t work” is not a proper error description. How should others narrow down the problem from that?
bern5 Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) I pasted the link http://www.vimeo..... And it doesnt work. Its not showing the vimeo player. There is no error code being shown. What else would you like to know? Edited June 16, 2017 by bern5
CP_User Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Make sure the vimeo link is the DIRECT LINK to the video. https://vimeo.com/26802339
opentype Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 4 hours ago, bern5 said: What else would you like to know? I asked questions before. For starters, the video URL would help to check if it embeds on other sites. And any thing else that narrows down the problem. Is it for every Vimeo video or just some? Is it for every user on your site or just some? Does it happen on every browser? Can you embed the same video here on the site?
Marius Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 There are still issues regarding the playback of embedding facebook videos. Could it be that FB changed the way they allow videos to be embedded and IPS needs to update this?
bfarber Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Can you clarify what the issues are with embedded Facebook videos? Seem to work fine in a quick test ^^
opentype Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 It embeds, but I can’t make it play in Safari. Marius 1
Marius Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Thank you both. Now I have tried another browser, and in Chrome it works ok, but in safari v 13.0.3 on macOS Catalina (10.15.1), the movie does not start.
