Hi Chris,

I am able to reproduce the issue in my local instance. Will log this in our tracker so the devs can investigate further.

For links on Firefox, I did not encounter the issue: https://take.ms/PYBFl

Thanks Raymond,

For Facebook-Videos as links on Firefox:
I test "Add-Blocker" with Firefox because I want to see what is blocked. And videos from Facebook that are recognized as a link by ES are blocked as add.

Therefore, videos from Facebook that are posted as a link will be blocked.

But if ES automatically detects that it is a video (.../video/...) then nothing is blocked.

In other words:
If the videos from Facebook on ES are automatically recognized as videos and so posted, then everything is fine.

This is due to the Add-Blocker.

Hey chris,

Can you provide me the link to the addon you are referring to? I could not find an addon called 'Add-block'. I also tried with some ad-block addons but could not reproduce the issue.

If Facebook videos are saved as a video and not as a link in the future, I haven't looked any further.

But since you ask, I tested it again.

It's not the Add-Blocker. I have deactivated everything in Firefox. I made you a video. I made the video on the demo page of stackideas with firefox. And as you can see, html is empty...

But apparently it works for you. That's why I think there are settings in my Firefox.

And in Chrome you can see I have the same video/link with html content. (See photo) So I'm assuming my Firefox is blocking something. At least if it works for you.

Hey chris,

I am able to see the link that you uploaded on the demo. I also tried sharing the same link and it displays fine(top is mine, https://take.ms/yjynK). Inspector: https://take.ms/nbtem

I have also asked me colleague to try and they could not reproduce the issue.

Hi Raymond, it's okay.

Like I said. I assume it's my Firefox. Where exactly the problem is I cannot say yet. If I have time I will explore that.

But important is:

1. Facebook videos are recognized as links and not as videos.

2. If you post it as a video (Facebook-Video), no thumbnail will be displayed.

3. 9by16 Videos are too small... Please use the following CSS:

#es .es-context-videos .video-container.is-9by16 {
max-width: 100%;
}

Then the problem is solved anyway, because videos are displayed correctly. This only affects videos from Facebook that are displayed as links.

Hey Chris,

Understood. The issue has already been logged into the tracker.

Thanks Raymond.

You're most welcome Chris.

Regards.
