SweetRose Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 How come I can no longer click on YouTube videos within a thread?Nothing is happening when I click on em on my phone. Hmm,seemed to work just now. Lol don't know what the problem was. But have noticed it doing it before also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 BumpStill doing this from time to time.Same for me. Not sure if HV has addressed the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 What exactly is happening? Like, if there's a YouTube video in a thread and you hit the "Play" button, it just acts as if it hasn't been clicked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works at times but I've noticed it most when the video is in the OP. It might be that some copy and plaste the link in while others use the url icon?

Black Sabbath Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I always copy and paste what's in the URL. As simple as it sounds, have you tried clearing cache and cookies and trying it again?I'll post different links when I get home from work for you guys to try to see if you get the same results.

It is only in the mobile version that I experience the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Interesting.I personally haven't had the issue, but it's possible it's something to do with the mobile version if that's the case for you. We'll see if we can take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetRose Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yes what they said,if you click the play button nothing is happening. Doesn't do it every single time. Just now I clicked one and it played then in a different thread it the video wouldn't start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetRose Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just tried clearing everything on my phone. So it's not the cache thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 try those and see if there's a difference in either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 What model of phone are we talking about, and are you using the full skin or the mobile skin?I'm happy to try to help you out, but this really seems like an issue with your phone rather than the forum. Some handsets just aren't particularly reliable playing embedded YouTube videos (it's intensive work for a small processor) - this is why many of them include a YouTube player or app outside the browser.If you use iOS (iPhone) or Android, you can always try installing a different web-browser (like Chrome)... this might help?

Issue is with the mobile skin (full skin is fine but isn't that eye-pleasing on the i5) and doesn't happen all the time. Strange... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 OK, I made some changes at our end. How about now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Works for me now. The video (when not clicked) doesn't fit in the window but that's not really a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out there was a bug to fix:http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/guides_old.html/_/knowledge-base/342-youtube-videos-do-not-show-on-mobile-devices-r271Other people are complaining about it not fitting in the window too, but not sure if there's much that can be done about that.

SweetRose Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Yes working now. Ty : )The day that I actually noticed the bug was when I made this topic. It had worked perfectly fine prior to that day. So didn't know if you guys had done an update or something on your end or what. Just know it started acting sketchy only working here n there. Doesn't fit in my window either. But it's working! Edited May 23, 2013 by SweetRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
