Coub player embedding doesn't work

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Search for a Coub.
  2. Click/Tap on the Share button.
  3. Copy the URL. (https://coub.com/view/[ID])
  4. Open a Discourse community with the latest release.
  5. Paste the link into the editor.
  6. Publish.

The embed version of the link (coub.com/embed/[ID]) works, but it’s just the preview of the site, not the actual player.

I’ve never heard of this; why should we build custom support for it?

This is not a feature request, just a bug report. The mentioned feature (embedded player) worked perfectly in older versions.

OK, can you post an example here? Note that OpenGraph and oEmbed are generally expected on the target site.

Basically the space for the player is the only visible thing.

Post the actual URL here.

Try add to admin > allowed iframes settings the domain: //coub.com should work with iframe and url version also.

The //coub.com is works :arrow_down:

<iframe src="//coub.com/embed/2p1n8u?muted=false&autostart=false&originalSize=false&startWithHD=false" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" width="640" height="360" allow="autoplay"></iframe>

The https://coub.com/view/2p1n8u also works well with this.

Thanks!

I’m not an admin in the community where I discovered this problem, so I can’t change the settings but I’m gonna link them this post immediately and hopefully this solves the problem.
