I'll take a look when I have to upgrade it.

Just re-visiting this. Any idea when you'll take a look/upgrade the plugin? This continues to be an issue for us. Thanks for your efforts.

I just re-installed this plugin (Thanks Adriano for maintaining it) but I'm running into an issue with a custom field. It appears to be cutting off characters after a certain point. Below is a screenshot of the location field both of the actual content as well as what it looks like in the plugin. This only is happening on mobile. Everything looks correct on the desktop mode. THanks for the help:

 

@Adriano Fariabumping this up in-case you didn't see my post. It looks connected to a space character. Thanks

Apologies for that - I've submitted a request to IPS for them to put a block on v2.0.x being available while I look into this one further. Will either have the JS sorted out, or a revert back to the previous back-end processing, in a few days time...will update here when all good.

Thanks- I had to disable as well as it appeared to slow down the site and at times break the rendering of pages especially on mobile.

It will strip out ALL html...there is no in-between, it's all or nothing.

Got it! Thanks!

In the ACP, for the editor settings...there is a setting to handle pasted content and what to do with it (keep as is, or strip to plain text only)

Thanks, I noticed that. I was concerned that there may be some downside where users are pasting something with a table or something of that nature? 

Some users on our forum will copy and paste content from other sites. When they paste the content, the paste includes appears to include some of the HTML content from the original site. Specifically, I am seeing <pre coding including html colors and fonts. This code being included is breaking the default fonts on posts. I already checked and I do have the html setting off for the member groups. Is there something else I can do to prevent the html formatting code to come with the users posts?

Thanks

Yes Cloudflare needs some time to enable the certificate. They have a status indicator and usually is around 10 minutes ...

Also setting the ssl to Full is needed !

Happy new year 🙂

Sometimes having patience is helpful. Unfortunately I prefer instant gratification...

Next up figuring out why my AWS to Wasabi migration for attachments is hung at 23% for the last 12 hours...

Happy new year to you as well. 

Here's my latest update on how I got everything figured out: 

1. Utilizing the set-up I referenced above for the usawxcdn, I had to wait about 10 minutes and then Cloudflare seemed to kick in with its SSL certificate.

2. The fix re. Full vs. Strict SSL enforcement on Cloudflare did work as well. However, I had to first switch the setting off and then switch it to Full. It didn't seem to take until I did that.

With all that said, I have everything working as expected. Thanks to all for the tips in this thread, all the information together helped me to get this up and urnning. 

Editing my second update- I'm testing with the following: https://usawxcdn.usa-wx.com.s3.us-east-2.wasabisys.com/

When I try to access it in Chrome I get an invalid SSL error. It looks like it's because it needs multi-level SSL?

When I try: https://usawxcdn.s3.us-east-2.wasabisys.com/ it returns clean

When I then add it to Cloudflare as https://usawxcdn.usa-wx.com/ I get a 526 error. 

So I have gotten everything set-up fully. However, I am running in to an issue when I put my sub-domain in to the configuration. I am receiving a 526 SSL error from Cloudflare because of the SSL mismatch. I tried changing to Full as previously suggested. However, this doesn't seem to resolve the issue. If I configure my storage without the custom domain everything works perfect. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and has any other ideas on what I can try?

From what I remember, you need to use "create new distribution" on CloudFlare. Link that to your S3 bucket using the built in methods (I remember it being fairly easy), I left most other things default. Create the distribution and it gives you a Url (you can cname a subdomain to this, but I can't get this to display as SSL yet), plug that URL into your S3 storage method on your IPS site, and done. I'm mobile and in vacation, all I can offer at the moment.

Yup that's similar to what I did. You set up a distribution on CloudFront pointed to S3. I then added a DNS entry for images.xxxx.com. In IPS,  my endpoint still is s3.amazon.com, but at the bottom I enabled Custom URL and have the images.xxxx.com entered. Now all my images are served off of CloudFront as opposed to S3. In terms of SSL the Custom URL I'm using is https and I also set up a Custom SSL certificate in my CloudFront distribution. Once all this was set everything is now being served via CloudFront. It works pretty well. 

Hope this helps, I know it's simplistic, but once I understood it conceptually it was fairly easy to implement. 

So an update. Figured out how to do a cname for my site so now url shows as files.xxxx.com.  Looks like all is good to go now and still have cloudflare in the mix as well. 

Just set it up for my server. I have files going to s3 with the cloud front URL. I still have cloudflare up and running too. Trying to decide if that’s even necessary. I still have my cname records pointing at cloudflare, and the custom url setting for the storage files pointing to cloud front. Just hate how the url isn’t my site and is a cloudfront url. Seems like I’d need to point my cname to cloudfront to adjust the url?

Looking for feedback and thought. Happy holidays!

Thanks!

Correct - it's all down to whether the browser can play the codec. If it can't, then there is nothing that my plugin can do about that - the plugin is intended to display the ability to play the audio/video items, from there it is up to the browser, and its user(s), as to whether it can play (as indicated in the plugin description, there is a link there that can help people determine if their browser can play a certain format/codec combination)

Sorry, but there is nothing (to my knowledge) that I can do that will force a browser to play a video in the native HTML5 player if it can't support the codec that is used.

What I can do is try to check the codec that the video is using and then not display the player if the browser doesn't support it, with a clear indication of why the player isn't displayed to that user. I've still got a little work to do on a planned update for a previous issue, and will start looking into adding that functionality (if that is achievable then I might be able to incorporate a fallback to a player such as videojs....no promises though. Maybe even provide an option for the admin to determine whether to use the native player or to use the videojs player.....hmmmmm)

Thanks for the detailed response, and it confirms my understand of what is occurring. The videojs fallback I think would be a great solution. I was testing last night in my mods only area, and having to explain to each user the nuances of what is occurring. I'm definitely going to leave the plugin in-place but I don't think I'm going to market it hard because of the confusion that may happen amongst users, since many just expect things to "work". Absolutely not your fault at all, and obviously an issue on the end of the browsers/too many codecs out there. I'm more than willing to throw a beta version on my server as well once you go down that path, since this is something our users have been asking for, for a long time.

I'll be watching for the updates!

Hey @Nathan Explosion just bought your plugin, which is awesome. Though I did notice something strange. When embedding an MP4, it plays on Chrome on all devices. But on Safari on my iPad it does not play back. I'm assuming it's an encoding thing, so I was wondering if there was a way to force some sort of compatibility? From what I can put together the video is dependent on browser support, but it seems Chrome and Safari don't support all encoding codecs of MP4. I can share with you a login and sample via PM if you want to take a look or the file that I used. Thanks
