Alrighty then, the bug I found involves youtube and video links. When posting a video link from youtube, like so It automatically embeds it as a video. This is perfectly fine. However, when I post, say, a link to youtube that is NOT a video, like so It acts as it is an actual video and does the auto-embed. The link was this youtube.com/user/K7SniperX/videos (Minus the http://www part) Another example, this! https://www.youtube.com/feed/music That was the link to the music feed, which seems to work fine. Trying out this one: https://www.youtube.com/user/K7SniperX The issue seems to only be videos. Or if you link one video, the next link will also be autoembedded.
The forum automatically embeds YouTube URLs without you having to use the Media button. [EDIT] OK, you can't link no matter what you do. Hmm. We'll look into that one - thanks!
The official xenforo response is to disable the entire thing. From now on I suggest you link to your channel url using Code: the code bb code
Also, only link to the channel url. https://www.youtube.com/user/K7SniperX There's no support for playlists or the videos page (and the videos page is embedded in your channel link anyway)
Didn't want to start a new topic, but it seems that instead of just embedding the video window with the video thumbnail and the play button, it goes straight to the video player, making (at least for me) the firefox memory consumption go sky high, specially in a topic like GameMaster14. Here's some pics to explain what i mean. All videos should be like this: But most go straight to this:
Could you describe the problem more? I use Chrome on Windows 8.1 and K7sniper's post above has the video exactly as you want it - with a play button, not playing. Just tried Firefox - browser sitting on Google 107Mb. Goes up to 135Mb on our home page (not logged in). This thread takes it to 159Mb and the video has a play button in the middle and isn't playing. Hitting play takes it up to 190Mb.
Will try disabling some add-ons and post if something changes. Edited: Yeah, i discovered the problem. It was the Youtube High Definition Add-on. Sorry for not checking this previously.
