The discussion revolves around a Discourse plugin called discourse-embed-bilibili, which allows users to embed Bilibili videos in their Discourse site. The plugin was originally found on GitHub, but the author’s identity was unknown until whitewaterdeu discovered it to be https://github.com/elcbng/discourse-onebox-bilibili.
whitewaterdeu shared the plugin and provided instructions on how to use it. However, Canapin pointed out some issues, including the inability to disable the plugin and the need to add https://player.bilibili.com to the allowed iframes site setting. whitewaterdeu acknowledged these issues and sought help in resolving them.
Lhc_fl offered to help whitewaterdeu add a config to disable the plugin and provided an example of how to do so. whitewaterdeu attempted to modify the config but encountered difficulties. Lhc_fl then submitted a pull request to fix the issue.
The discussion also touches on the topic of video quality, with zengyunsi commenting that the embedded videos are not clear. whitewaterdeu explained that Bilibili has restricted the clarity of embedded videos.
Rick_Jing reported that the plugin no longer works due to changes in Bilibili’s iframe requirements. whitewaterdeu acknowledged this limitation and encouraged users to submit pull requests to improve the plugin.
The discussion concludes with joo asking if the plugin still works, and scavin sharing a link to a maintained version of the plugin.
I found the plugin by google about how to embed bilibili in discourse and got it in github, but i don’t found anything about the author in discourse meta forum
