I have set “enable flash video onebox” on but still can’t embed swf link

flash url:  
[https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx\_1.swf?room\_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE](https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx_1.swf?room_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE)

control panel:

I’m no expert, but checking the site in [iframely.com](http://iframely.com/debug?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic-s.bilibili.com%2Flive-static%2Fswf%2FLivePlayerEx_1.swf%3Froom_id%3D10694%26cid%3D10694%26state%3DLIVE) it doesn’t look like it’s providing the stuff needed to onebox it. Contrast [this youtube](http://iframely.com/debug?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DA3PDXmYoF5U).

Looking at the regular expression URL matching I believe is in play here:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/0f7aaf5ab19f593416a0012f223e2f91e6cb0329/lib/onebox/engine/flash_video_onebox.rb#L6>

You may get it to work by modifying the URL from:  
`https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx_1.swf?room_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE2`  
to:  
`https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx_1.swf?room_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE2&.swf`

But really this is not something I’ve tried.

I’ve tried

[https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx\_1.swf?room\_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE2&.swf](https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx_1.swf?room_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE2&.swf)

[https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx\_1.swf?room\_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE2&format=1.swf](https://static-s.bilibili.com/live-static/swf/LivePlayerEx_1.swf?room_id=10694&cid=10694&state=LIVE2&format=1.swf)

still nothing happened.

Have you tried restarting discourse? some settings are not immediately updated and require a restart.
