Dr88s Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I used to have no problem seeing the embedded YouTube links in all of your posts. The past few weeks, though, the embedded video windows show up empty space in the middle of the posts on my iPhone and iPad (running the latest iOS). Is this just my problem, or have other forumites run into the same issue? Any suggestions? Sometimes if I repeatedly tap my finger on the blank space it will launch the video, but most of the time nothing at all happens. Seeing as how my mobile devices are my preferred way of reading this board, it is ever so frustrating...

FedzKeyz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yes. I have exactly that. Sometimes it's fine, but sometimes (mostly) just white space that may launch the video when tapped. I tend to use Chrome on the iPad. Not sure if the problem also occurs with Safari. Yamaha CP4 Stage Kurzweil PC361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr88s Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Glad I'm not alone. I wonder if the issue is on UBB's side or on YouTube's... Nord Stage 2 Compact, Yamaha MODX8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenner13 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yep, thinking about deleting the app again...seems to run better through Safari but not sure if that will solve the blank white screen on some of these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, me too. I just switched from an iPad 1 running iOS 5.something to an iPad Air running iOS 7, so I thought it might be that. My wife still has the iPad 1 so I might try it on hers. I'll report back if I find anything. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Joe Muscara Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Before I fired up the iPad 1, I tried something else. I visited this site while I wasn't logged in. Strangely, all the YouTube videos appeared. I could play them. Then, reloading the page seems to make the videos disappear. Also, logging in, visiting the video thread, then logging out and reloading caused the videos to become blank spaces again. This is very odd. I'd suspect Safari or iOS7, but PaulRKeys' report of seeing the issue in Chrome puts that into question. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Joe Muscara Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Everything works fine on the iPad 1 as far as seeing the videos on first and then reloaded pages.

allan_evett Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Same here... Another "feature" of IOS 7... Ugh! I suspect so. I'm having the exact same problems as the rest of you. This is like an expansion of the Flash fiasco - which continues to be a pain in the ass. But.... I do have a workaround for the Flash issue - though sometimes images and videos get distorted: have had some success using the built-in browser in iSwifter, but haven't yet opened it in iOS 7. Will try it and report back. Still...there should be a basic fix for this problem when using Safari, Chrome, etc.. This isn't rocket science: It's almost 2014, and we put a man on the moon in 1969 I've also noticed that embedded images in emails don't always appear now. Anyone else having that problem as well ?

allan_evett Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Just tried iSwifter. Videos / images do appear, and work, somewhat; at times it can be a bit like watching TV in the early 1970's - in a rough reception area. There is a lag for the screen to catch-up, though: scrolling down the selection list on the forum reminds me a little of viewing the moon landing in 1969; it's a little 'crackly' until things settle in.

TKN Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have the same problem after iOS7, but not with the browser 'Coast'. With Coast by Opera I never have problems with YouTube videos in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealvicz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Same problem here with Safari since iOS7, however works fine with Mercury , a fine browser which has the added benefit of blocking most ads.

Joe Muscara Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Oh this is good. If you tap the blank spot where the video is supposed to be, it will load and play. You won't see it, but you can hear it. Definitely a bug. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

allan_evett Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Downloaded Mercury... So far, so good. Thanks, therealvicz ! Thanks, TKN, as well. Will also check out 'Coast', as it's good to have two browsers that can cover all bases - especially when Chrome and Safari both seem to suffer from this issue. I wonder if Coast or Mercury will work with 'Flash only' videos the way iSwifter does. Will check that out later - it's time to go be with family for Thanksgiving here !

Six-string-man Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Interesting! Still using IOS 6, but I frequently get a BLACK box and no video or sound, never had a white one.

WesG Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I got that this morning on my iPad. It is definitely not on iOS 7, it might even be on 5.
