Title: Videos not visible
Post by: K K Iyer on December 24, 2013, 10:51:46 PM
For the last few days I've been seeing only blank space where videos posted by members should be.
Even the link is not visible.
Occasionally, the videos become visible, later they vanish.
I mentioned this on the RC Bolt thread, and maahinberi was kind enough to pm me some links.
His mail was one long blank page, followed by the links right at the end. After each link, it said
(Embedding disabled, limit reached)
Any idea what this means?
(Am using an iPad2. Able to see videos on youtube etc. The problem only occurs in RC India)

Grateful for any help. Thanks

We have embedding limits of 4 videos per post, and 50 videos on a page.

What is more interesting is if you are the only one affected.  Can you tell us of a thread where you are experiencing this right NOW ?  Then we can check if we can also reproduce the same error and investigate the same.

@anwar sir,
You fixed it even before replying to me. Amazing!
Links are visible now where they were not till a few minutes back.
Eg,
Your favourite non RC videos
RC Bolt
Etc.
Thanks a million. Hope it lasts.

@anwar sir,
By the way,
earlier (till Nov) I used to get the videos in the thread itself.
Now I get only the link, and that has about ten blank lines space both above and below.

Title: Re: Videos not visible

@anwar
Checked laptop in Indore.
Videos visible.
So it seems to be problem in the iPad / RC India interface.


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: anwar on December 25, 2013, 01:30:25 PM
What program in the iPad are you using to access the site ?  Can you use alternatives (Chrome, Safari, Tapatalk) ?


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: K K Iyer on December 25, 2013, 01:53:59 PM
Using Safari. iOS 7.0.4. No change on reboot.
Videos working on sister's iPad. OS is iOS 6 or 7. Not yet updated to iOS 7.0.4.
So seems to be a problem related to iOS 7.0.4

Post by: aman1256 on December 25, 2013, 01:58:23 PM
Helle anwar sir I would like to say that Ipad uses its own browser You know Safari , If you want you can download Tapatalk,Opera mini,Chrome is also available for that but Safari means the ipad own browser is the best one ;)  :)


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: anwar on December 25, 2013, 02:04:08 PM
Tons of people use Chrome instead of Safari as their primary browser on iPads/iPhones (including me), but that is completely different discussion.

I think you should check your settings and try an alternate browser, just as investigative input at least.


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: aman1256 on December 25, 2013, 02:06:09 PM
Hey iyer try Opera Mini It is great it is not a java browser but it is great i use it on my phone and if there is any video posted it directs you to the website, Once you click on it  or the app in you ipad if you have it in your ipad . :)


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: K K Iyer on December 25, 2013, 02:09:29 PM
@anwar sir,
Will do.
Thanks for all the trouble you've taken.

@anwar sir,
EUREKA!
After 2 months of not getting videos on my iPad, was watching them on wife's laptop.
She asked why i was not using the iPad. Told her the problem.
So she took the iPad and 2 minutes later:
VIOLA......
Videos visible on iPad!
 {:)} :hatsoff:
What did she do? Switched it of and on again. Seems she learnt that trick on some forum.
(Maybe now i can let her fly my Tiger Moth.......)

or just get tapatalk? It plays back YouTube videos natively. ::)


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: K K Iyer on February 14, 2014, 10:04:37 PM
@anwar
@rcpilotacro
Remember RC Aunt solved the videos not visible problem by turning the iPad off and on?
I still have to do this to see any videos.  :banghead:
When i get a post notification (like i got from RcBolt just now), i am able to see the video (as i saw the Decathlon just now). Provided i am not logged in.
As soon as i log in, poof, the videos vanish.
Any assistance in getting rid of this pain in the posterior is most welcome.


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: anwar on February 15, 2014, 08:03:54 PM
You mean the videos vanish once you login to RC India website ? Or if you are logged into Youtube.com ?

Seems related to the below problem... but I don't see why it has anything to do with logging in !

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=511652.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=511652.0)

Also, why is no one else affected ?  Have you enabled any content settings on your iPad (like Parental Controls) ?


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: K K Iyer on February 15, 2014, 09:04:12 PM
@anwar sir,
Yes. No.
No parental controls etc.
No problem with RC Aunt's laptop on Google Chrome.
No problem on my sister's iPad not upgraded to iOS 7.
Problem seems similar to the link you sent.
Must be an iOS 7 issue.
Switch off and on, video visible on the screen held before switching off.
(Going to check if videos on other pages of same thread visible. Of course can't change thread without login)
Log on, and the video goes.
The problem with Apple is if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. No solution.
Eg, have tried and tried, but iPad will not talk to either of my two Sony Bravia TVs.

Will take up with Gusty tomorrow, but no wifi on field.
Thanks for bothering with what seems to be an individual problem.
Regards.

Earlier in My Samsung Note-2 videos were visible in its native IE browser. After I installed Bit Torrent now every time I open a thread with video embedded. The Bit torrent even though closed pops up open with a error message of "Failed to add torrent file:///android_asset/webkit/" Now the video is not visible in the native browser but I can see in Chrome browser where it does not open bit torrent.

I don't see anything in settings of Bit Torrent nor in Internet setting which I can change to prevent this.

Any Pointers Anwar Bhai

Sandy bhai -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046401 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046401)

What version of Android are you on ? BTW, IE should not be the default browser on Android phones... something is amiss here.

[Note] Link updated.

Anwar Bhai

My Android version is 4.3. The Browser is the native one which shows by the name "internet" may not be IE. in settings if i dissable plugin. Then the you tube link is vissible not the video window and it neither pops open bit torrent. But when enabled plugin in pops open bit torrent with error message unable to add torrent file and the video space is empty even after you exit the bit torrent.

Un installed bit torrent and videos are visible again.


Title: Re: Videos not visible
Post by: anwar on February 24, 2014, 10:05:03 AM
That was the obvious solution, to remove whatever introduced the problem in the first place. But I thought you needed BitTorrent anyways.  You can try alternate BT clients, and see if they also cause the same issue.

Will try that Anwar Bhai.  Thanks.
