February 21Feb 21 Community Expert Unfortunately, I can't reproduce item 6. When I post it, it works.Did you just post or did you make any further changes in the editor?
February 21Feb 21 Author I didnt change anything in the editor. Just typed something random, pasted the link, convert to embed, resize it and hit "Insert line after". I tried to make a post and crate a topic but both doesnt work for me.I even tried to edit the post and topic I created and I dont see anything there, not the link or embedded content so Im clueless 😥
February 21Feb 21 I found that for services that are not natively supported by IPS5, such as YouTube and Spotify, you might have to use the actual embed url. This works for Amazon music and Apple music. For example, you can get the url from the browser search field and IPS will auto embed it whereas with Amazon music, you have to get the url that is included in the embed code and covert it to an iframe.

Used the url from embed code. Is there anything in your browser console?How can I check that ?By the way tried both on latest versions of chrome and firefox with no success. Tested to embed a spotify link and it works perfectly.
February 21Feb 21 Community Expert How can I check that ?In Chrome, press Control+Shift+J or Command+Option+J (Mac).
February 21Feb 21 Author In Chrome, press Control+Shift+J or Command+Option+J (Mac).I see this before submitting the topic.And these are the links from 2 errorshttps://s4.bcbits.com/bundle/bundle/1/analytics-5e3acff8141a601a625b611ec84e07ec.jshttps://s4.bcbits.com/bundle/bundle/1/impl-b9ac7fb843a78798aaecc5b095302808.js
February 21Feb 21 Community Expert Looks like your browser is blocking access to bcbits.com which looks to be related to Band Camp. So the embed is going on page, just your browser is blocking it. This could be because of browser extensions or settings.

This could be because of browser extensions or settings.Not sure about browser settings but I tried after disabling all extensions with no success. Tried with VPN too but sill nothing. @Jim M do you think this is happening because Im on localhost ?
February 24Feb 24 Community Expert The only way you would know that is by testing it outside of localhost. However the browser itself is blocking it, as it says in console

February 24Feb 24 Community Expert It's good that it works with those errors there. Unfortunately though, as we're able to embed this URL as an iframe fine on our end in version 5 and your installation is local. We would need to have a version 5 installation of your own on an accessible server for us to see what is happening here. We're just really guessing at this point because we can't troubleshoot your installation.
