GB's "I'm Messing with the media addon" test thread

Dave · Aug 22, 2016

This thread, folks, is why I made Gas an Admin. He's working on things that I couldn't even begin to fix.

I thought it was because he needed an outlet for his ego?

Aaaaand now it stopped working altogether.

Edit: ok, seems that it still (halfway) works on chrome, but none work on firefox.

Updated my notification to the author.

In case the media plugin isn't working for anyone (like it isn't for me) right now, here's why - it works through github, which is under DDOS right now.

Was at a lunch with a bunch of IT friends from my area. A few are being heavily affected by today's event. Only a minor annoyance for my work, thankfully.

An annoyingly not-insignificant portion of my day today has been spent explaining to people what a DDOS attack is and why it means they can't get to twitter.

Just found out our company moved away from Dyn for our DNS not long before I started. Yuge bullet dodged there.

I kicked Dyn to the curb when they stopped doing free dynamic dns.

Also yay for local caching servers.

The "Upload Files" button (between "Post Reply" and "More Options..." is showing up blank for me. Any particular reason?

Shows up fine for me. What browser and OS is this with? Have you tried a different browser, and/or clearing the cache?

jwhouk · Oct 23, 2016

FF 49.0.2 on WinX.[DOUBLEPOST=1477280216,1477280129][/DOUBLEPOST]EDIT: Strange, it's showing up on Chrome 54.0.2840.71...

EDIT #2: And it showed up briefly before reverting to a white box... :confused:

GasBandit · Oct 23, 2016

Unlike the other two buttons, the upload a file button is a flash widget. That might be a place to start looking...

Most browsers are starting to just outright ignore Flash content by default.
Lotta stuff is gonna break.

GasBandit · Oct 28, 2016

Ok, now my firefox at work started doing it, too. The button still WORKS but it is a blank white box. I suspect, as Pat does, that it is due to new versions of the browsers continuing the steady march away from Flash.

There is an option under your Halforum Preferences "Use the Flash-based uploader to upload attachments". I imagine unchecking it will resolve this problem. (I've had it unchecked for months and never saw an issue.)

Yeah but the non-flash-based uploader suhhhhhcks >_<

Checking to see if updating the s9e media addon has fixed the twitch embeds -

[DOUBLEPOST=1488345971,1488345953][/DOUBLEPOST]And the answer is no.[DOUBLEPOST=1488346317][/DOUBLEPOST]Alright, trying again.

[DOUBLEPOST=1488346337][/DOUBLEPOST]Aaand still no.[DOUBLEPOST=1488346750][/DOUBLEPOST]One more time before bed

[DOUBLEPOST=1488346774][/DOUBLEPOST]Alright, I give up for now, I'll try it again tomorrow.

Some of them I had to cheat on. Some of them are displaying something other than what they're supposed to.

I'm still working on it as we speak.[DOUBLEPOST=1493077421,1493077298][/DOUBLEPOST]Did I finally fix it?

[DOUBLEPOST=1493077529][/DOUBLEPOST]YES. FINALLY.

MOTHER FUCKING VICTORY.

HEY NOTE TO FUTURE GAS BANDIT

WHEN S9E updates you have to MANUALLY change out the PHP file in /library/s9e, NOT the one in /upload/library/s9e, that one doesn't do shit. THEN run the update routine.

Thanks, Past Gas Bandit!

Ok, working now, I think. Though, old imgur links will be busted unless updated to the new media tag syntax. Can't be helped.

But are you actually watching Citrus, @GasBandit?

No, it honestly wasn't even on my radar until I saw that picture today.

I think I'm the only one here who's jumped headlong into the Winter season. I picked up Citrus because of the preseason hype. It's a little bit rapey so far.

I rarely ever watch new anime as it comes out. I want English dubs.

Hey, when I wanna read a novel, I'll read a novel. And at least that'll be a properly localized too, so I won't have to be dealing with the same 7 phrases over and over again. There's just something about the way all the subtitles are done that make every show seem like the exact same show. Somebody always won't forgive somebody else, like that's supposed to be a dire pronouncement. Something can't be helped. Even if you say that! Somebody does something that is "as expected from whatever-kun." But is that really ok? You're a hundred years too early. It's a bother.

And through it all there will always be a liberal sprinking of gratuitous engrish that is neither pronounced correctly or even used with the correct meaning in mind.

I know that stuff seems super cool beans to the weebtaku set, but after a while it grates on us normies.

Occasionally I *will* watch a subbed anime, though even in that case I prefer for them to at least have one complete season out, so I can watch it at my own pace.
