Cannot view embedded links

Cant see embedded links on Android. Videos or pics. Anyone else have this problem...?

I do have the same problem. Usually need to open them on Windows or iPad.

What browser are you using on Android?

Are you viewing in mobile or desktop mode?

Is it just pics and videos you can't see or do you have problem with vanilla hyperlinks?

Have you have a browser update applied recently?

Have you checked whether the setting that only allows rich media to be displayed when you have a Wi-Fi accidentally got flipped on? This is a setting is sometimes used as a cost saving measure depending on the data plan one has on their phone.

Post back when you get a chance so we can get you sorted.... or at least your mobile device sorted. :evil: :saint:

After reading your post i checked opening the embeded videos on Chrome and it works. Samsung internet does not. Thx

Images appear fine in Firefox and Puffin browsers on Android.

Inline Flash based videos display fine on Android Firefox. Puffin won't let you browse it inline, but will redirect you to view it on the YouTube website.

I expect the latter is because Puffin is a cloud based browser that has actively deprecated Flash. Seems fine with HTML based video. Moot point as I believe it is the forum software that is displaying inline videos using Flash.

I am using Samsung internet. I only mention this because the problem just started. Quite possibly with the latest android update.

Is it just PKF or do you have problems viewing video on other sites?

What happens when you go to YouTube site through the browser instead of the YT app?
