Have lost handle on inserting Facebook videos.

 

Assume this is the original video URL:

https://www.facebook.com/uniladmag/videos/290091731870416/


How to post it as an embedded video here on mt:

[fbv]290091731870416[/fbv]


The result:

click to play

This was, of course, fairly easy before our overlords decided to strip the message composition window of many useful features for no good reason.

 

SOME of the driver was in the tarp. And SOME of the driver was getting absorbed by kitty litter.

 

That's interesting.

I have always just droped the FB video URL right in the reply box, and bam...

https://www.facebook.com/MusicTubepage/videos/850107915370534/

 

Yours just shows up as a clickable link whereas the one Joe did is an embedded video for me. Others may be seeing something different.

 

That’s what I did. Somehow the format of the magic number was wrong.
Well, I capitalized FBV, but I’m pretty sure that that was not my issue.

Really?

Damn, I kept thinking I was posting the actual video all this time.
My apologies.

 

There must be some interesting AAA calls in FLA.

In my browser (Chrome 75.0.3770.100 under Win64), Hakan's video shows up as a small but embedded video.

As a test, let me include it here via the old-school method. I will simply take the relevant portion of the URL from, Hakan's post (based on clicking "EDIT" on his post and copying it from the source) and then include it in this post with the [fbv] tag:

click to play

EDIT: the results are somewhat hard to describe. As I view them, both posts contain a "click to play" window. The difference is that in my post, the video window is rather larger than in Hakan's post. (Hakan's is actually so small as to be annoying, whereas mine is only so small as to make me hate Internet Brands.)





There are not, because that sort of stuff is just everyday noise to Florida people.


I was born in Georgia, and grew up on the west coast of Florida.

Since then, I have lived all throughout the US, as well as brief stints in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Columbia, France, the Netherlands, and... well, a lot of other places, many of which were hot and brown.

And so I feel as though I can say this with some degree of authority: Florida sucks almost as much as Australia. The only meaningful difference is that the number of things which want to kill you is higher in Florida, whereas the likelihood of any one of them succeeding is higher in Australia.

 

Interesting.

For me, your post contains no video, just a large blank space with the instruction "click to play" underneath, which, incidentally, is not clickable.
Same is true for your previous couple posts with FB videos, too.

I think the best method is to print a screenshot and actually taping it on the monitor before posting it. May work.


EDIT: FWIW, I have recently switched to Brave, a Chrome based browser with far less appetite for available resources on a computer than Chrome itself.

 

 

 

At the risk of introducing politics to the picture thread, let me just say that any time I hear someone chant the "#AlwaysBelieveWomen" mantra, I think to myself "Clearly you have never been in a relationship with a woman, and asked them "what's wrong" when they appeared sad / morose."

Yes last week. This mall has always floundered in the presence of another in the area. Now they're both failing. There's two malls (Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza) that do the majority of in town business and it's been that way for the past 25 years. Those two are across the street (Peachtree) from each other.
