Okay, I was messing aroung this morning, and did a <CTRL><f5> (forced) refresh of the threads page. I just went to post a vid to the "Last Supper" thread, and I SEE IT THERE!!

So try that folks. See if it works.

Okay, I lied. It is DEFINITIVELY the "some content is blocked" issue. Setting that to ALLOW will show the Youtube vids.

Which is NO help on my Android fone....

I know. The browsers on my phone don't appear to have a setting to allow unsecured content. I'll have to research that further. But at least we now have the root cause.

deadmau5 - "Sofi Needs A Ladder" [Meowingtons Hax 2k11 Toronto] HD (Runtime 6:40)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evAKTK3G234

"Sofi Needs a Ladder" is a song by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5, featuring vocals from German singer SOFI. It was released as the third single from deadmau5's fifth studio album, 4×4=12.

The song was originally an instrumental track, "You Need a Ladder", which Deadmau5 previously performed, but vocals were added on afterward to allow the song to be published and avoid any copyright infringement (the song previously included an intro and outro featuring a slightly remixed version of "Overworld theme" from the NES game The Legend of Zelda). The song was first played on the radio by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 on October 22, 2010.[2] The song won a 2011 Juno Award for Best Dance Recording.[3]

I feel like a brand new newbie for asking, but where the heck is the Setting that will ALLOW showing the Youtube vids?

On Firefox open up a new window and go to about:config
Search string for security.mixed

Change this one to false:
security.mixed_content.block_active_content;false

Change these three to true:
security.mixed_content.block_display_content;true
security.mixed_content.block_object_subrequest;true
security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content;true

Close the page and reload the page with youtubes and it should appear from now on. This does modify the standard security settings for your browser so do it at your own risk.

I'm running Windows 10 with Edge and first I see click here to enable Adobe flash. After I click it and hit a popup to allow flash one time on this site I can see the picture of the video with a notice that flash-embedded videos are no longer supported, but I can watch on YouTube.

Microsoft's IE 10 and Edge stopped supporting embedded YouTube videos about a year ago.

That is when I started using Chrome when I visit TB2K and want to embed videos.

Worked just fine until the last week or so.

This worked out here. What other risks are there to doing that, though?

Ok, got it back again...

Changed the first two strings you outlined, but my browser config didn't have the last two, but embedded videos work and I can see them now... Thanks!

Well RB, you now know the root cause is your browser rather than the server-side software. When you find a solution, let everyone know.

I don't know how you can make such a blanket statement in the open forum when I have done nothing to change my Chrome browser and am attempting to unsuccessfully embed videos the same way I have for many --years- now. Nobody had a problem until a few days ago. Now we have numerous problems.

- What browser are you and Hfcomms using that allow you to see the embedded video?

- Have you and Hfcomms embedded any videos yourself? Link?

I'll try some other browsers and tinker with Chrome some more. I did restart my PC and do a cleanup.

I'll be interested if anyone else can embed and view YouTube videos.

We need a larger sample size than just three of us to make a determination of what is actually going on.

RB, *I* successfully embedded a video in the Last Supper thread. YOU successfully embedded a video in post 6 of this thread.

The issue IS NOT SERVER-SIDE OR CODE-RELATED. The issue is the fact that these vids are “http”, and TB is now “https”. This is generating “electronic schizophrenia” on the part of web browsers. The solution requires adjustment of settings in the individual browsers on people’s PCs. There is nothing *I* can do for you. You have to change settings on your browser.

In Opera, it's the "Content blocked" setting (yellow box) that comes up in the toolbar. Also went into the Settings / advanced / privacy, and set an exception in the Flash area allowing timebomb2000.com

Real pain that the settings have to be set in each browser though. Was it a server setting change that triggered this?

edit: woops just saw dennis's post above mine. SSL. yup.

OK, got Chrome to work. . . :eleph:

On the far upper right of the Chrome browser there is a tiny security shield that did not appear on the Main forum Page but the shield did appear when I clicked on the thread that had a Youtube video embedded within that thread. Pretty dang sneaky.

Click on that shield and it advises that you are attempting to load unsafe content.

Override that warning and embedded videos can now be viewed.

I logged in and out and it appears that one must do that each time one logs in using the Chrome Incogneto Mode which I prefer.

I'm looking to see if a permanent exception can be made.

Time to pour another cocktail . . . .

Might have to do a sticky on steps for the most common browsers because this question is going to come up again, and again and again...

The “neat” solution is for the video embed to correctly process “https” YouTube content. I’ll go post over at the support forum to see if that issue has ever been addressed.

Hmmmm. I overroad the shield, not TB is no longer "secure" and the https: is lined out. Now what?

It's going to do that now on pages that have mixed content from now on once you change your browser settings. If you click on a thread that is text only it should still show as 'secure'. Not a real big deal.

THANK you, Red Baron, for your detailed and kind response.

I use two (VERY DIFFERENT) computers to see TB2K

One (at home) a fairly old machine running Windows 7, with both Firefox and Chrome (can use either one, but prefer Firefox at home)

One even MORE ancient (at work) but usually use Chrome; not sure what OS it's using (that's for the boss to worry about, not me--and they are SO cheap they don't even buy Microsoft office for the office)

All features WORKED--on EITHER--until, as you said RB, about a week / week and a half ago.


I will try this on Chrome, what you suggested.

I don't dare weaken the security settings in my registry because it IS "at my own risk" and I am not a computer guru like our leader and can NOT fix my own problems if something goes south....

I know I'll get beat up for this, but---




can't we just go back to the older system?



It seemed to work just fine.............
