XF 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 s9e Media Sites 2.16.8

This add-on will:
  • Add a carefully curated collection of the most useful and most requested media sites. A list of supported URLs can be found on this page.
  • Improve the performance and efficiency of the default media sites. Pages will load as fast whether there are no videos or 100 videos.
  • Improve the loading of embedded tweets. Content does not jump around while tweets are loading.
  • Add a button to supported video players (YouTube and others) to make them float in the corner of the screen and allow the user to keep an eye on the video while reading the rest of the page.

Version 2.3.28 Added option to use the default YouTube embed :
Some YouTube videos impose restrictions on which websites are allowed to embed them. This appears to be done by checking the content of the Referer header and/or accessing the iframe's parent. Because this add-on loads videos dynamically, some browsers such as Safari anonymize the origin of the request. In response, YouTube may refuse to serve the video and display a "Video unavailable" error instead. As a workaround, an option to use YouTube's default embed as been added. It will disable the lazy-loader and the miniplayer and it will allow YouTube to gather info about the parent webpage.
Download V2.3.28 :

TL;DR: if YouTube videos don't load on Safari, check the "Use the default YouTube embed" option. Otherwise, don't.

Updated lazy loader. The new version should be slightly more efficient on pages that contain many embeds.
Added support for GiPHY.
Added an add-on option to use a native player for the following embeds: Gfycat, GiPHY, Gifs.com.
Added an option to disable auto-embedding links on a per-site basis. If "Do not auto-embed links from this site" is checked when editing a media site, URLs from this site will remain as text links. Users can still embed third-party content by using the "Insert media" tool in the editor. This option is currently only available for media sites that belong to this add-on but may be extended to other media sites in a future version.

Version 2.6.0 change : Added "click-to-load" option. Updated Audiomack and Twitch
Added a new option to replace the YouTube player with a lightweight placeholder. The placeholder is a single image with no text that loads and starts the YouTube player when clicked.
Updated Audiomack and Twitch. Note that the new Twitch embed only works on HTTPS sites that are served on port 443 at the moment. Hopefully Twitch will relax those restrictions.
Download V2.6.0 :
mega.nz
Obsolete workarounds for the Vimeo and YouTube embeds have been removed.

Version 2.6.1 change :
An option has been added to display the video's title in the placeholder used when "click-to-load" is enabled.
The option to disable auto-embedding links on a per-site basis has been extended to all media sites.
Twitch has been updated to support new clip URLs.
The add-on's CSS has been split on a per-feature basis to reduce its size when some features are disabled.

A word about adding video titles to the "click-to-load" placeholders. The name of the video is retrieved via oEmbed, using XenForo's oEmbed service. The data is cached in the database according to your oEmbed settings. If the data is already in the database, a single sub-millisecond query is all that's needed to retrieve the title of all the videos on the current page. Otherwise, it is fetched from YouTube's service which is typically fast but can add up to a second to the page loading time, so make sure your oEmbed cache is set to a comfortable value. The default is 7 days but it can be increased to 30 days or more, even indefinitely.
Below are screenshots of a typical YouTube video using the default embed, the click-to-load placeholder with oEmbed enabled, and with oEmbed disabled.

Version 2.6.2 change :
The add-on's CSS has been updated to correctly handle long titles.
The oEmbed logic has been updated to limit the number of concurrent fetches to prevent resource exhaustion. The number of fetches is limited to 1 per page, with a maximum of 3 concurrent fetches across processes.
This is a recommended update if you use the click-to-load feature with oEmbed enabled.

Version 2.6.4 change : Added Kaltura, updated lazy loader
The lazy loader has been updated to load visible elements more aggressively. In previous versions, the lazy loader would wait up to 3 seconds for the rest of the page to completely load before displaying embedded content. Starting with this update, visible (on-screen) elements are loaded immediately and will compete for resources with the rest of the page. This will prevent slow resources such as ads and large images from delaying embedded content.

Added Rumble.
Thanks to [H]ard|Forum for sponsoring this addition.
Updated lazy loader. It may help with dynamically-sized embeds (e.g. tweets) being cut off.
Updated Twitter. Tweets are now slightly wider (550px vs 500px) and should load imperceptibly faster.
A word about embedded tweets. At the time of writing, embedding a text-only tweet using Twitter's default method requires 20+ HTTP requests and 3.5 MB of resources. This update reduces both by approximately 10% and saves about 100 ms on loading time on a fast network. It is unclear why Twitter loads 3.4 MB of JavaScript to display ~140 characters of black-and-white text.

Compatibility with the default media sites installed by XenForo 2.2 has been improved both ways; Most media that were embedded using a default media site work seamlessly after the add-on is installed. Media embedded via this add-on still work if the add-on is uninstalled, provided the media is supported by XenForo's default media sites. The new additions include support for SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube playlists.

Version 2.7.0 Added support for custom URL fallback :
This update contains a new feature that you will find in the add-on's option or the "Media embedding" section of your admin panel. It will add a selector that will affect how embedding media works. You will get to choose between the regular [MEDIA] tag (which is the default position) or a customized [URL] with a media attribute. Here is an example of such a custom tag :

Code:
[URL unfurl="true" media="youtube:QH2-TGUlwu4"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4[/URL]

gf.png


For all intents and purposes, this is a URL BB Code that will be automatically be transformed into a YouTube video when viewed in a rich HTML page. However, if the YouTube media site is disabled or if this add-on is disabled, it will be displayed as a normal link, possibly unfurl'ed as per XenForo's configuration.
This feature is quite new and there may be unforeseen side-effects so please report any issues in the discussion thread.

Version 2.7.1 Fixed unfurl'ing when creating a custom URL BBCode :
Custom URL BBCodes with a media attribute should be unfurl'ed properly now, even if the URL has never been used before.

I want to install and use this addon for instgram integration. When I look at FAQ page I see that : Q: Does this add-on replace the default media sites? A: Yes, it replaces several of XenForo 2.0 media sites such as Twitter or YouTube. The new versions of those media sites are backward...

Download V2.7.3 :

Version 2.7.4 Changed the way line breaks are handled :
The handling of line breaks around media embeds has been changed to match the text layout more closely and be more consistent with XenForo's default media sites:
When two BBCodes are on the same line, the two embeds are on the same line.
When two BBCodes are on consecutive lines, the two embeds are on consecutive lines.
When two BBCodes are separated by a blank line, the two embeds are separated by a blank line.
The default behaviour in XenForo is similar, with the difference that it is not possible to have two embeds on the same line using XenForo's default media sites. The technical implementation is different though: while XenForo uses block elements and removes line breaks around media embeds, this add-on uses inline blocks and does not remove line breaks after its embeds.
You can tweak the layout of this add-on's embeds in CSS via your extra.less template. For example, you can force this add-on's embeds to be displayed as block elements using the following snippet :

Experimental support for Guzzle has been added, disabled by default.
Guzzle is a PHP library used by XenForo to retrieve data from external sources. This add-on uses native cURL calls for the same purpose. If this means anything to you and you want this add-on to use the same Guzzle client as XenForo, you can add the following to your config.php file :
PHP:
$config['http']['s9e.client'] = 'guzzle';
Future versions of this add-on may default to using Guzzle if it proves beneficial.

Version 2.7.9 Updated Getty and Twitter :

Version 2.7.10 Updated tags, updated lazy loader :
Overloaded URL tags in the form [URL media=...] are now processed as and counted as [MEDIA] tags and should be subject to the same restrictions. Thanks to Xon for the helpful report.
JavaScript event listeners used for lazy loading are now passive and apply during the capture phase. This isn't expected to make a practical difference but it may help with inconsiderate third-party scripts that hijack events.
Note that support for XenForo 2.0 and 2.1 has become harder for me to guarantee and will be phased out in future releases. If you haven't upgraded to XenForo 2.2 yet, let me know.

Version 2.7.11 Lazy loader improvements :
A number of improvements have been made to the lazy loader. The goal is to generally improve efficiency and make dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets as nondisruptive as possible.
  • The size of dynamically-sized embeds (e.g. tweets) is cached locally in the browser. This will improve the user experience on repeat viewing or when the same embed is shown multiple times on a page.

  • Visible embeds are loaded as soon as possible. Previously, the lazy loader waited a tiny fraction of time (32 ms) before checking for visible embeds while the page is loading. Combined with the aforementioned caching, it can reduce and even eliminate Cumulative Layout Shift.

  • The visibility of all embeds in collapsed quotes is now checked to determine whether they should be loaded. Previously this only applied to regular-sized embeds such as YouTube videos, and has now been extended to all embeds. This means that an embedded tweet in a collapsed quote is not loaded unless it is at least partially visible.

Version 2.7.19 Added support for XenForo's internal-data://temp cache
Starting with this update, pages scraped via this add-on are saved to the internal-data://temp, which is usually located at the root of your forum in the internal_data/temp directory. The filenames will appear as s9e.xxxx.html.gz where xxxx is a string of 32 alphanumeric characters. The files are automatically removed by XenForo after a few days.
In most cases it will not make any difference. In some rare cases, it may slightly speed up embedding links from unreliable sources that require scraping.

Version 2.8.0 Updated Facebook and social media sites :
This update contains many small changes that are purely technical and shouldn't have any visible effect, and it adds support for Facebook "pfbid" URLs. If you do not care about or use Facebook, you can stop reading there.

Concerning Facebook, it has come to my attention that they have recently started obfuscating their URLs, encrypting them with an unspecified algorithm that generates a different value every time. According to Facebook's public announcement, this change was effected to deter what they call "unauthorized scraping" and is meant to "protect people’s privacy". Cynics will be quick to remark that Facebook's business is based on monetizing its users' information, and that change just happens to interfere with Firefox's query parameter stripping, a privacy-enhancing feature that had been released just a few weeks prior, casting doubt on whether encrypting a URL's identifier is meant to protect users or optimize Facebook's money maker. Facebook/Meta denied via a spokeperson that this has anything to do with blocking privacy features.

Starting with this version, embedding content using Facebook "pfbid" URLs is now supported. The add-on will attempt to revert the encrypted value to its canonical ID whenever possible.

This feature is accessible through the "Insert Media" dialog when posting a message. It adds two options (unchecked by default) that allows the user to look for embeddable URLs if the one they submit does not match any active media site. For example, if a user tries to submit a t.co (Twitter's URL shortener) link to a YouTube video it will not be recognized by default, but if the user checks "Use the canonical URL" then it will be recognized as a YouTube URL.

You can enable or disable this feature in your admin panel. When you install the add-on for the first time or you upgrade to this version, the status of this feature will match your preference for unfurling. If you have unfurling enabled, then this feature will be enabled. Otherwise, it will be disabled and you will have to manually enable it in the add-on's options.

Version 2.11.0 Added option to link to the original URL when using a custom BBCode to embed content
- An option has been added that will display a link to the original URL used to embed content. This is only available when the add-on is configured to use a [URL] BBCode instead of the [MEDIA] BBCode. The option is enabled by default buy only applies to content embedded via a [URL] BBCode.

Version 2.12.0 Added web scraping selector :
- An option has been added to select how scraping is performed; It has four options: auto (default), native cURL calls, XenForo's client (Guzzle), or disabled. The default value is fine for the overwhelming majority of users so you don't have to care about it unless you use a special configuration for your network, in which case you should select the default XenForo client. Disabling scraping may prevent some content from being embedded.
- The current default is to use native cURL calls because XenForo's client (Guzzle) does not seem support HTTP/2 at the moment. Future versions will eventually switch to use Guzzle, and the option will be removed.
- In addition, defunct site Gfycat has been removed from the add-on and Facebook has been updated to support more video URLs.

Version 2.12.3 Minor Quality of Life improvement to the lazy loader :
This is a minor improvement to the lazy loader that only concerns dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets or Reddit posts.
The way dynamically-sized embeds work is that the content provider loads the embedded content then notifies the host page of the size it should be displayed as. This add-on usually acts as a middleman and caches this value for later viewings to reduce/eliminate Cumulative Layout Shift. Some content providers (most notably, 𝕏) are too eager to declare the size of their content, before their own images are fully loaded. This leads the add-on's lazy loader to create a placeholder of the correct size for the embedded content (e.g. tweet), then shrink it as the content provider incorrectly notifies that its content is smaller than expected, only to grow it back to the correct size once all content has loaded.
In this update, the lazy loader has been changed to provide a grace period before shrinking an embed. They still grow as soon as a new size has been determined, but they'll wait a little bit (5 seconds currently) before they shrink.

Version 2.12.4 Added support for Facebook Reel :
Facebook is being wishy-washy about reels so it's possible they won't work at times. Probably growing pains that'll disappear once the product matures.

Version 2.12.5 Maintenance update: lazy loader :
This update contains small modifications to the lazy loader that shouldn't have any noticeable effect. You can keep reading if you're interested in the details.
This update makes use of contemporary JavaScript features to replace boilerplate code with native JavaScript features such as destructuring assignment and the spread syntax. It also adds some small efficiency improvements related to dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets. I do not expect those changes to be noticeable or produce undesirable side effects.
An upcoming update will feature some more fundamental changes intended to improve the experience of the most observant users as well as users with slow connections (e.g. mobile.) That upcoming update will have a greater potential to introduce unintended side-effects, and if that's the case it will be easier to diagnose them separately.

Version 2.12.6: Performance and Quality of Life improvements to lazy loader. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube updated.​

This release features a number of performance and quality of life improvements for the lazy loader. Keep reading if you're interested in the technical details. Also, Facebook, Twitter (now X), and YouTube have been updated with minor changes.

Perf: when browsing to a specific post (e.g. last post of a thread, or first unread post), browsers generally display the top of the page while it's loading, then once it has loaded enough assets (after a second or so), it scrolls down to the target. Recent versions of the lazy loader would ignore embeds at the top of the page until the browser scrolled to the target post, then it would load embeds normally. Starting with this version, the lazy loader will proactively look up what embeds are expected to appear after the browser scrolls to the correct post to load them up as soon as possible. This is expected to slightly shorten the time it takes to display the target post fully if that post contains an embed. If that embed is of dynamically-sized (e.g. a tweet or Facebook post) it may decrease the Content Layout Shift score as well.

Perf/QoL: when clicking on the attribution link of a quote, XenForo scrolls to that post. The lazy loader now proactively loads embeds in that post instead of waiting for the the scrolling to complete. In addition, even if the browser is scrolling up to that post, dynamically-sized embeds such as tweets will expand towards the bottom. Previously, they would expand towards the top, which is the desired behaviour when manually scrolling up but is an annoyance when automatically scrolling to a target.

QoL: after clicking the "back to top" icon, dynamically-sized embeds expand towards the bottom as in the aforementioned situation.

Version 2.12.7; Fixed an issue in the lazy loader​

Version 2.13.0 Updated Amazon, Bandcamp. ⚠️ Read this is you're an Amazon associate ⚠️
As of January 1st, 2024, Amazon has discontinued their Product Link widget. That's the little snippet that shows the product with its name and its current price, which this add-on used. There is no replacement planned and therefore Amazon will be removed from this add-on at some point in the future. I will publish the cutoff date beforehand, with more time to react than Amazon gave their own associates.
For now, I have replaced all Amazon embeds with a text link so that you don't end up with a blank space where the Amazon product widget was. If you have configured an associate ID, it will be added to the link as well. Consider this a temporary fix, so you should start considering an alternative if affiliate links are an important feature to you. I have tried Amazon/eBay Parser 2.1.2 Patch Level 1 locally and it worked as expected, but I strongly recommend properly testing any add-on yourself.

Version 2.14.0 Updated Mastodon + misc cleanups :
Mastodon now supports more types of URLs. Also, the list of allowed hosts can now be edited on the Mastodon media site page directly rather than in the add-on's options.
Other miscellaneous changes include:
  • Bits and options related to the now-defunct Amazon embeds have been removed. The temporary Amazon media site is still present and associate tags are still handled. There should be no functional change compared to previous version.
  • The requirements have been officially bumped to XenForo 2.2, as I don't think anybody is running XenForo 2.1 on PHP 8.0.
  • The Find in page feature now works with unquoted attributes.
  • Some unused code has been removed, some PHP declarations added. No functional change intended.

Version 2.15.0 Added support for embedding external XenForo 2.3 content :
XenForo 2.3 adds a new feature allowing public content to be embedded in any page. This update adds support for your forum to embed the publicly accessible content of any XenForo 2.3+ forum that has enabled this feature.
How to configure: go to your admin panel, go either to this add-on's options or to the XenForo entry in the BB code media sites menu, then add the hostname of the XenForo 2.3+ forum you want to embed from. Make sure that the target website runs XenForo 2.3, which at this time is a very short list.

Version 2.15.1 Removed BleacherReport. Updated Imgur :
BleacherReport's embedded player has apparently disappeared and currently returns a 404 error. To my knowledge, there is no workaround. If you use a custom BBCode to display media content, the broken videos will revert to a link. Otherwise, they will simply disappear. Imgur has been updated to avoid incorrectly converting https://imgur.com/upload to a non-functional embed.
