dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I used to be able to play YouTube videos embedded into posts either directly in the browser, or by clicking on the title to launch then in the YouTube app, but now I just see the image with the play button and nothing happens when I press it. Not sure if this is a site update or Chrome update that's broken something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Nothing has been updated here Danny. I've had a little dig around and if you go into Application Manager and select 'Chrome' you get an option to 'Force Stop'. Click that and try again.

dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Nope, tried a few other sites with embedded YouTube videos and they're all working except for Basschat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Still does it. When I press on the video image, all that happens is the Quote and Edit buttons appear, as if I just pressed on the text area of a normal post. HTC One Max btw.

molan Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I think there's been some odd stuff happening in Chrome recently. A few sites, including our BassGear home page, haven't been working properly but it's all been quit random. Works one day and then nothing the next!

On the very odd random occasion it works, but 99% of the time it doesn't. That's a Sammie S5 with KitKat 4.4.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I've got the same problem, so it's not just Danny. I guess there's been an "upgrade" Videos work in the Android browser though. Edited November 12, 2014 by Grangur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Same for me, but there's no Android browser on my phone (Nexus 4 running 4.4.4) so the only way around it I've found is to flip to the full site and open the clip from there. Something similar happens with any other links in posts - it still seems to activate the quote functionality - but then the link goes on to open. Not sure why the result is different for youtube clips, but I'd have thought having hyperlinks nested within each other is likely to yield unpredictable behaviour..?

dannybuoy Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Chrome updated today, videos now launch the YouTube app when clicked. On the other hand, I can no longer reply to any threads on Talkbass (Basschat is fine)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 This has become an issue again, I've tried multiple Android phones with Chrome and Firefox, both are getting a 'missing plugin' box instead of an embedded video. iOS works fine and that doesn't support Flash - so these videos must be able to play over HTML 5 but something is broken when it comes to Android!

Luulox Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I cannot see any embedded videos on bass chat either. I use chrome and all other sites are fine. Started about a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The 'missing plugin' message is a bit of a red herring as it can appear if the plugin is installed but not enabled or if an alternative plugin has been installed (at which point the 'proper' plugin is disabled by default). Unfortunately, there are so many variables that advising a specific fix isn't possible but my first step would be to check what plugins are installed and ensure that the one required is there and hasn't been demoted by a third party one. The plugins are outside the control of Basschat as they aren't written or released by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 There are no plugins installed, and Chrome on Android no longer supports them. The issue seems to be that the site is trying to serve up Flash content to my Android device when it used to deliver them via HTML5. Safari and Chrome are still able to play embedded content on my iPad, and none of these devices have ever had Flash player installed. Assuming the site hasn't had any code changes recently, this was probably broken by a recent change in Chrome for Android. But since I don't have any issues viewing similar embedded content in other sites such as Talkbass, this suggests that whatever the issue is, it should in theory be fixable at your end!
