Hi there,
when I try to embed a Youtube Video I always get the error message: "Video link is not supported."
Example: https://youtu.be/p-orfyjBSmA
Any ideas?

Thanks
Markus!
So strange, can you update your site backend and FTP access at https://stackideas.com/dashbord/site so we can better have a check?

By the way, is it this issue only happen on YouTube link?

Hi Arlex,
Thanks for the reply!
I tried a Vimeo Link and it works, really strange.
I updated my site backend details for you.

Best regards
Markus

Hm, it seems like when the your server trying to CURL to any of YouTube link then it will return this error :


"Client error: `GET https://youtu.be/p-orfyjBSmA` resulted in a `429 Too Many Requests` response:


Perhaps you can try consult with YouTube support and see whether possible to help you check if YouTube really ban for your Website IP recently?

Keep us update then.

Hi Arlex,
Thanks again for your quick reply!

I have embedded 3 Videos from Youtube for testing on my Site.
Two on https://brosass.de/youtube

The first one is just with the "standard iframe-code" from Youtube, the second one is with the AllVideos Plugin by JoomlaWorks.
Both works in Joomla Articles.
The third Video I embedded in a Easysocial Group: https://brosass.de/gruppen/33-keyboarder/28-discussions/eintrag/2-arturia-polybrute.html
Also working.
Does it still seem possible that youtube has blocked my IP?

Best Regards
Markus

Actually that is different thing as what I mentioned at above.

And yes, the embed video part will work correctly but what I am trying to explain is when you share the YouTube link from the Easysocial story form and the video creation page, the system will actually trying to crawl this YouTube link https://youtu.be/p-orfyjBSmA using PHP CURL whether this video accessible or not while it can able to retrieve the video title, description, duration and etc but somehow there do not allow your site IP address to retrieve any content from YouTube, this is why the process failed.

You can do one simple testing when you access this file https://brosass.de/debug.php , it will show empty content when crawl the YouTube video from your server.

In the meanwhile, you can edit this file JoomlaFolder/debug.php from your server, then you can try to modify it to crawl vimeo video link e.g.


$url = 'https://youtu.be/p-orfyjBSmA';


Replace with


$url = 'https://vimeo.com/76979871';


Then you refresh this page JoomlaFolder/debug.php . you should see the vimeo page mean Vimeo side allow this IP address to access their video content.

Hi Arlex,
it was a very long journey through the web for me (-> 429 Too Many Requests...), but now:
After the latest update of EasySocial, the integration of the YouTube videos works now!

Best regards
Markus
