Hello, previously when I pasted a YouTube URL into the title of a new post, the title of the YouTube video was automatically retrieved, but this no longer works. Do you know why?

What Discourse version do you use exactly? There was a change related to getting titles of YouTube videos last week: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/2b04fbeb305386f275d5ecdc05b87c5b3a6ba7e3

I use this and the link brings me here: Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub [image]

Are you still experiencing this issue? Could you try it here and see if it works? You don’t have to save your topic to test it.

Yes the issue persists here on Meta and on my 3 Discourse sites.

Ah ha that is interesting. It works for me here so I wonder if there’s something going on with your device/browser? :thinking:

It’s now working on my PC but not on mobiles (tried on two different Android mobiles, Chrome and Edge browers). The title extracted is always on mobiles “ - Youtube” This is my test Youtube URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQUnHEgKlUE

Inching ever closer to a repro! I tried it on my iphone but it works. Now we just need someone on android to try it.

Well, working, not working, now it does not work anymore, I guess it depends on the latest update?

Hi Patrick and happy new year! Can you help us to help you by providing more specific repro steps? “It’s not working” is not very meaningful and doesn’t bring us closer to helping you fix your problem. Are you still taking about this? [image] patrickemin: Hello, previously when I pasted a YouT…

Hi, happy new year ! Works on Meta for me, does not work anymore on my site https://dessein-tech.com/ after a period of time where it worked. Some URL work, some other do not like this one https://youtu.be/Jh0jPUBP9Iw?si=s9wQGHPF1rryNyED

I suspect this could be due to the server where this site is hosted being denied or throttled by YouTube themselves?
