Can't embed BitChute videos even after whitelisting the url

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The user Bathinda is having trouble embedding BitChute videos on their Discourse site, even after whitelisting the URL. They’ve tried adding the domain to the allowed iframe source domain prefixes and posting the embedding code, but nothing shows up. JammyDodger suggests adding a slash to the end of the setting value, but this doesn’t work. Bathinda tries both the HTML and JS versions of the embedding code, but still can’t get it to work.

However, when Bathinda copies JammyDodger’s exact link and pastes it into the allowed frames setting, it works.

Bathinda then asks how to allow all video streaming services to be embedded, and JammyDodger suggests that the setting doesn’t support a wildcard and that each service needs to be added individually. However, Bathinda notes that the * wildcard is used by default for OneBox iframes and asks if there’s an alternative setting to allow any website to be embedded.

Even after me whitelisting BitChute.com here:

The image shows a settings page or interface for managing allowed iframe source domain prefixes, where two domain URLs (https://t.bathindahelper.com/discobot/certificate.sv and https://www.bitchute.com) have been added, and an option to restrict who can embed sites via Content Security Policy (CSP) frame ancestors.

When I paste the embedding code in my post (I’m admin), no preview, nothing is shown:

I’ve gone thru this meta topic: first-class-support-for-3rd-party-video-services/121241/11, but not able to get help.

If I post the sharing link directly, then it’s OneBoxed.

Can someone suggest some video sharing service, that lets me embed ‘Uncensored’ videos onto my disco site? (PeerTube needs a linux server, which I can’t provide right now)

Could you try adding a slash to the end of the setting value?

https://www.bitchute.com/

No, this didn’t help. Tried hard refreshing, changing browser from Firefox to Chrome (both latest versions).

One boxing is ok:

Hmm. :thinking: FWIW They seem to be working fine for me. I added https://www.bitchute.com/ to allowed frames and copied an embed link from a random video on the site and it successfully displayed in a post.

5

Which one did you try - the HTML or the JS version?

6

I tried both, one by one.
Exactly same result. Nothing shows in the Preview window at all. As if I’ve not typed/pasted anything in the composer window.

Ah!! It worked. But only when I exactly copied your link and pasted there. (Earlier also I was copying pasting from the Url bar only, didn’t type manually)

The image appears to show a social media post sharing a video titled "5July2024: Another Hindu leader attacked by swords in Ludhiana", along with a video thumbnail depicting what seems to be the aftermath of an incident involving a motorbike and people standing on a street. (Captioned by AI)

Don’t know what was I doing wrong?

And also, more importantly: While experimenting earlier, I removed all the links from allowed list and only inputted an asterisk *
Now it seems to have spoiled all my old embeddings of/from other video streaming services like youtbe?
Why, haven’t I inputted the * correctly?

This image displays a settings interface for managing allowed iframe and onebox iframe domains in what appears to be a content management or forum platform, with one domain (https://www.bitchute.com/) already listed as allowed for iframes. (Captioned by AI)

How can I allow all the video streaming services in one go?

9

I don’t think that setting supports a wildcard. I think you need to add back each one you removed.

10

OH! That’s very bad. Are you sure about this?
Because in OneBox iframes, * has been used by default.

Also/Alternatively, might there be any setting, which could allow any/all websites to be embedded?
