Chainsaw Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Is anyone else having a problem getting videos to play in The news forums? I click on the play icon but nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I have not had any problem opening them. Perhaps a problem with your browser settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see anything in my browser setting that would cause the problem. Videos from other sources play ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you're clicking on the right vdo? E.g. in the Phuket news, the robbery story has a video on top and one below the story. The one below the story is the right one, the first one is just a picture with the video symbol embedded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chainsaw Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 For example: There's a thread in Phuket news about a Chinese woman having her bag snatched. When I click on the video it just enlarges the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Ok noted i see same clicking on video does not work But there is another grayed out video screen below i remove scriptblock and click on this i can watch seems you have a script block or something similar on your set up How or why i have no idea it could be part of your adblocker even if according to you its switched off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chainsaw Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 OK Stevenl, I bow to your superior wisdom. Now can you explain carefully which image I should click on as there is only one as far as I can see. Also can you explain to us lesser mortals why a video from the Pattaya forum works perfectly, while videos in the Phuket forum don't? I await your wise words with breathless anticipation. ????

Ignoring your snide remarks and trying to help a fellow TV poster, as an example the bag snatch post I referred to earlier, and you as well. Under the headline is an image with in the middle a 'play' link. However that is just an image, not a video. Below that follows the text, and below that, so before the source link, is the real video. Click on that one and all will be ok. If you can see only 1 video I presume it is the first image you're seeing, which is just an image, not a video. And if that is the case I'm sorry, no idea how to solve that. No idea about the Pattaya forum, I don't go there. Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does change your issue, it means you don't see the video. Strange, no idea how to solve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a scriptblock or adblock component that is stopping video segment showing like i said see below On 5/30/2019 at 10:40 PM, poohy said: Ok noted i see same clicking on video does not work But there is another grayed out video screen below i remove scriptblock and click on this i can watch seems you have a script block or something similar on your set up How or why i have no idea it could be part of your adblocker even if according to you its switched off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 might be simple such as you tube is blocked by his adblock on this site (even though adblock is turned off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks everybody for your suggestions. I think the problem is that some videos are considered too 'sensitive' by the powers that be and are quickly taken down leaving just a screenshot.

webfact Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 every video we post is tested if it plays BEFORE we include it in a post! So it would be very helpful if the OP can let us know: - which browser doesn't show videos /mobile app or web browser - some links to posts with videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
