Who can / cannot see this video:



It would be good to know your browser, its version, and the operating system.

Can see both (in original thread) and the one above here. FF33.0.3 on MacBookPro.

Can see with Safari 6.2 on MacOS 10.8.5.

Is there anybody who cannot see the video(s) when they are definitely browsing EuroGA using HTTP i.e. going to http://euroga.org ?

I think there may be more than one issue here, but probably in all cases it is caused by a browser silently blocking mixed (HTTP and HTTPS) content. One explanation is here.

I can’t find where the config for this blocking is in Firefox or Chrome (does anybody know? – I’ve done a lot of googling and found no simple solution) but a fresh installation of Chrome which I never changed shows the videos OK if I use HTTP (the default you get if you simply go to euroga.org), but it does not show them if I use HTTPS.

But I can’t see any reason for using HTTPS to go to EuroGA. Who cares if the NSA or the GCHQ can see your browsing? At work, if your boss is monitoring your internet activity he will still see you accessing the euroga.org domain name…

Also this issue has come up only very recently…

That is weird. What is the exact URL being used?

The solution to this is not including the protocol in the code. So instead of:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d81TNNZBeRU

one uses:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=d81TNNZBeRU

Modern browsers will then use the same protocol as is being used for the page.

I’ve updated the button on the toolbar so that when you paste in a video (with a protocol) it renders the embed code without it.

That did indeed work. I can see both of my videos.
