Avea Type Youtube Embedding

[FrizzleFried]

All of a sudden as of today the youtube embedding for AVEA MEDIA (which I see is no longer even available here) stopped working.  Is there a modification that does what AVEA media did an allow for youtube embedding WITHOUT having to put tags?   I have 5 years of posts with THOUSANDS of videos embedded... if I switch to a tag based system ALL those videos are gone.

HELP!

Sorry...wrong forum. 

Please move.

BTW - I just determined the issue is happening ONLY on Chrome oddly... (it worked YESTERDAY?!?) ... not Firefox...

EDIT: It's also happening in IE.  So Firefox it's fine... Chrome and IE not so much so.

There are a few mods that allows autoembed from a link:  http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;basic_search=youtube

Is up to you to determinate if any of those mods suits your unique requirements.

I see one... yours.  However it doesn't want to play nice with my site requiring manual edits.  I'll have to dig in and see if I can get it to work.

I find it very odd the Avea just stopped working for two browsers but not Fire Fox overnight.   Very strange indeed.   Of course we can't get any support for Aeva because of the disposition of the author.

Yes, youtube embedded videos not working now in Pale Moon, Vivaldi, IE.  Still working in FF.

I think youtube must have changed something ...

Yikes!

Is it the HTML5 embedded videos or the Flash. Chrome is suppose to drop all Flash support soon and Firefox was planning to do the same. Not sure about IE though, probably so since everyone else is doing it.

If this is the case you'll have to update the Flash embeds to the HTML 5.

I just checked my site and Firefox defaults to the HTML5 player and works... CHROME/IE default to the flash player and don't work.

How do I force the HTML5 player for all browsers?

Not too sure if this will work since the site I use Aeva on is anything but stock, luckily I still had the original source code laying around. This is not tested, just after examining the source I think I found a workaround that should do the trick.

In
Aeva-Embed.php Find

Code Select Expand

$use_object = $use_object_init || (!empty($arr['plugin']) && $arr['plugin'] != 'flash') || !empty($arr['allow-script']) || ($arr['id'] == 'yav' && $context['browser']['is_firefox']);

Replace

Code Select Expand

$use_object = $use_object_init || (!empty($arr['plugin']) && $arr['plugin'] != 'flash') || !empty($arr['allow-script']) || $arr['id'] == 'yav';

Ultimately you can just...

Code Select Expand

$use_object = true;
However without being able to test this, I am confident the last code snippet will fix YouTube among breaking other embeds.

Unfortunately replacing that single line of code did not force CHROME or IE to use HTML5 player rather than flash player... there was no change in behavior.



I checked Firefox and it still is working fine loading the HTML5 player rather than the flash player.

Thank you for the attempt at least.
