phpbb-ext-mediaembed's Issues

(Mobile) Scrolling issues when multiple images are linked in a row

Hi again,
We're having some issues when multiple images are linked in a row (ie more than will fit on the screen at a time). With such a post (example) scrolling on mobile gets a little tricky.
The scroll events seem to be getting captured in the iframe, so in order to scroll the page, you have to very carefully find the spaces between the images, if any exist.

So I'm hoping that there's a way to work around this so that, on mobile at least, you can make sure that phpbb deals with the scroll event, and not the iframe.
Since the iframes are resized to fit the theme, there's no particular use for the scroll inside the iframe anyway - obviously until you zoom. It might make implement the iframe scroll block on mobile only?

Thanks for your consideration -

Some Google Drive formatted sharing links don't work

Hi,
Thanks for such a great plugin - a forum I frequent has been hit badly by photobucket changing their external hosting policy, and this plugin has made a lot of our users lives much easier.

I've discovered this morning that google drive provides two different url formats for sharing, and your plugin only handles one of them.

Example 1 (doesn't work):

1. Open Google Drive in desktop browser
2. In file browser view (ie not preview mode), right click picture and choose "Get Shareable Link"
3. The pasted link then looks like:
   https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TAnofDHLM-Mreaju0l3--9SQAESEIpD9AA
4. (Doesn't work)

Example 2 (works):

1. Open Google Drive in desktop browser
2. In file browser view (ie not preview mode), right click picture and choose "Share"
3. The link to copy then looks like:
   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TAnofDHLM-Mreaju0l3--9SQAESEIpD9AA/view?usp=sharing
4. (Works)

It'd be fantastic if you could handle/reformat the non-working url -
Thanks a lot -

Imgur embedding is not responsive

Hi again,
I know this was reported previously for twitter, so I thought it was worth reporting that the imgur embedding is not responsive either:

Thanks -

Add Support for Google Photos

I've been asked by a few members if it would be possible to add support for the new Google Photos—they use it to share photos and, of course, right now there's no native embed for them.

Not sure how feasible it is but I figured I'd ask on their behalf!

Error Code: 1054

builtin filer urldecode break images on phpbb

If you have the extension installed and you do a post with an [img] like this, the extension break the image as it urldecode. http://www.theroyalwindsorwebsite.com/images01/LocalEvents/Schools/StStephens%3FPlayHA.jpg

Parsing in quote tags

Not as much an issue as it is a question but is there a way to hide the parsed content in quotes?

As an example, I have a topic on my forum where users post a lot of youtube videos. One user posts 5 videos that are quoted by another and suddenly the post becomes very long since all the quoted youtube links are also parsed.

I'd like the option to hide it but I don't know if that is possible or - if not - is something you can easily integrate.

Video (MLB, etc.)

Unable to embed this type of video:

http://web.yesnetwork.com/shared/video/embed/embed.html?content_id=1190113083&width=400&height=224&property=yesnetwork

What can I do to allow this to embed.

Thanks.

Show Version in Backend (Green/Red) including Link to update

Could you adjust the behaviour of the extension in the backend. Usually all other extension are indicating if they are up to date or outdated with green/red.

Also switching to a version number instead of timestamp seems to be more common.
Thanks!

Twitter embeds aren't responsive

Is there a way to make Twitter embeds responsive using this plugin? Currently, they are cut in half on small viewports:

GooglePlus Events

Hello. Google+ events are not showing in forum. Neither posts about events. Facebook events are working ok.
Can you add this please?

Embed Spotify without cover art ("view=coverart&" in the URL)

Hey, love the extension, works great on my site. Was trying to mess with the rendering.php to remove the "view=coverart&" from the Spotify embeds, so it would instead show the track list.

I removed the 2 instances I could find, but when testing it out, it still puts the "view=coverart&" in the embed URL.

No need to push any type of update, just wanted to know if there was something I could modify to get the desired result?

Facebook live videos

Hi all

Well, I don't know if it's a true issue, but I would like to share with you an anormal behavior of the extension, especially with Facebook videos.

FB standard videos works very well on my board with and without [media] BBCode, but "live" video are not working, even if the videos are not alive anymore.

I opened a thread on phpBB support board : https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/mediaembed/support/topic/183061 with a screenshot.

If it can help :)

Regards,

Charles

Instagram support

Hi,

First of all... great work on this phpBB extension. Keep up the good work.

Now the question :-) ... is it possible to support embedding of Instagram for URL's like this?

Didn't work with facebook video

Many thanks about useful ext, but i see that i didn't work with facebook video. Can you double check.

Many thanks.

not an issue, more of a request

this isn't really an issue, it's more of a feature request. Lets say people want to resize posted images open up with either lightbox, highslide extensions out there by just posting the link to the image, this would be a big use and great addition to the extension.
