As the title says, af_youtube_embed plugin stopped embedding YouTube videos into body of feed posts after a recent update.
- It’s the web version of TT-RSS, so I’m not referring to API.
- I’ve tried to install a fresh copy of latest version of TT-RSS. New DB and untouched files and everything. It’s the same. What you see is just a link to YouTube video, not an embedded video.
- I’m on Tiny Tiny RSS v21.02-6f29ecbbb (latest version as of 22 February 2021).
- I’ve also tried it on TT-RSS demo website. It’s the same.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Head over to https://srv.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/ and sign in by using demo/demo credentials.
- Open Preferences > Plugins settings page
- Check af_youtube_embed plugin and make sure no_iframes plugin is unchecked.
- Click on Enable Selected Plugins button and then exit Preferences page.
- Subscribe to feed of a random YouTube channel
e.g. National Geographic
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCpVm7bg6pXKo1Pr6k5kxG9A
After feeds are updated, you’ll see each post shows a hyper link instead of an embedded video.
In plugin descriptions, af_youtube_embed says
Embed videos in Youtube RSS feeds (and whitelist Youtube iframes)
So, I expect it to work without any additional setting/configuration, which it used to do in the past.
ps.
I read a post where Fox said YouTube is one of the few white listed websites when it comes to iframes. So, I think this may be a bug which was introduced during a recent amendment by mistake.
Feel free to test it on TT-RSS demo website and see it yourself. Also, don’t hesitate to chime in and tell me if somehow I’m missing something here.
