Heads-up: the PWA videos do not load. Tested in Edge, Firefox and Chrome.

And, since I just noticed this, a bug in the above highlight-quote. The link is not preserved.

Im not sure which videos you are looking at there, but all videos load here with no issues

    That's a stilly statement, absolute rubbish to make that claim. Personally I have zero plans to move to Cloud and will resist it for as long as I can. It's often slow, unreliable and is overpriced. S

I just took a closer look. In Firefox, it reports no suitable mime type. I don't have an unusual system here - and I experience no problems with videos elsewhere - except, I am using a Win 10 machine. I don't know if that is relevant and helps.

Unfortunately I'm not really sure what to tell you there. I can play all videos no problem at all. It appears to be an issue on your end there

I guess so. I have no idea why though. What type of videos are they? I'll test it out if I can to confirm.

Appears to be an issue only on firefox. I will get that reported internally

The problem appears across browsers for me. And videos displayed for me at an MP4 test.

@Marc Those video's don't work intergraded in your website either. When pressing play nothing shows up.

However directly going to the source chrome just plays it ok.

Confirmed - this worked for me too using Firefox.

We have a lot going on, including a website refresh and documentation which is all in progress.

Why not see if knowledgable community members can assist with the documentation, then have a staff member review it before updating?

There's always willing helpers within a community, that would assist in those areas where time is restrained for those who take on more time consuming tasks. I am sure there's capable people who can at least take some of the strain off you guys, the amount of things you do will always leave some areas difficult to update.


Eagrly awaiting the release of 5.0.10. 😁

On my test install with the beta 4, i see the following in javascript console.

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> is deprecated. Please include <meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

On my 5.0.9 site i don't have that.

Edit: Did also something change in javascript parsing? If you have a custom javascript. That contains: =>
Then the javascript that is used will become =&gt; so it gives an error in the javascript console. And custom javascripts don't work. This does however not happen on all the =>

=> still works on my end. I can confirm the JS console error though.

It happens on on this first line with =>, however not on the second line.

const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {
  mutations.forEach(mutation => {

In chrome console.

I just got on my non IN_DEV site the message to update to the Beta 4. Seems wrong to me :)

The changes are from 5.0.9.

Fixed.

I have never seen a beta version suggestion (Upgrade suggestion) on my board before....

I got the popup upgrade to beta 4 too (On my 5.0.9)....

Version 5.0.10 Beta 4 of Invision Community is now available. You can upgrade your community now from your AdminCP.

Here's what's new in this version:

After some testing, I believe the Apple meta tag is required for PWA splash screens to work. Yes, it’s a deprecated tag but one which Safari still requires unfortunately. Ironically, the “mobile-web-app-capable” tag which they recommend is redundant in modern browsers (they use the manifest file instead).

What I can do is only include the Apple meta tag when a splash screen image has been uploaded. That’ll prevent the console error in some situations 👍

So this beta version showing on my live board is legit upgrade or NOT??????

Fixed in 5.0.10? It's been around for a while, this is the second time reported.

Thanks

Thanks @Ehren , what about tje JS error?

Yes. According to our Github, it was fixed by Esther in 5.0.10

Sure, go ahead 👍

I've not yet tried Beta 4 but I tested Beta 3 and noticed Javascript in AdminCP Theme Settings was still appearing in the page source even when PHP tags wrapped around it were set not to show it (depending upon a theme setting value). This may have been under PHP not being processed rather than JS not being processed though.

I hope they don't release 5.0.10 until the issue preventing theme resource images from showing in the CSS is fixed, as it was still waiting on a fix in beta 3.

I have just upgraded to beta 4 and these 2 bugs are still present:

the CSS one:

and the JS one seems to be partially fixed after coming out of the Enable Theme Designer Mode with the theme setting disabled, the script dissapeared.

but if I toggle the setting back on in the front end theme settings, the Javascript code doesn't come back.

the theme setting is switched off, but the script still shows in the page source

<!-- Theme javascript -->
<script>
    

//  Make sure the DOM is ready first ;)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
    
// console.log('DOM is ready!.')

// Check if IntersectionObserver supported    if ('IntersectionObserver' in window) {
  
// Remove the transition classconst inv_scroll_top = document.querySelector('.inv_scroll_top.inv_scroll_top_icon');
    inv_scroll_top.classList.add('inv-hidden');
    inv_scroll_top.classList.remove('inv-visible');


etc

</script>

Do you have a link for the bug reports for these so I can take a look and see whats happening?
