Video stills taken from GoPro videos are in jpg format. When members try and upload these specific images to my forum they do not Onebox or even display at all (end up as a non-clickable url).
The thing is, they work fine here.
All other images (i.e., non GoPro video stills) work on my forum just fine. Oddly enough, if I take the offending GoPro jpg and export it without making any changes (again, as a jpg) from any image editor then the same image displays just fine.
354KB – well under the size cap. I can reproduce the issue at will. A couple members that have GoPro’s cannot get any jpg (from still) to work. I was happy to see that the images work fine here, and am hoping I’m just missing a plugin or something. My forum is up to date.
AFAIK there is no plugin that handles oneboxing or uploads. That all is built in to discourse.
one question though! Do they not get oneboxed even after you click post/reply?
Have you rebuilt at the command line recently? You need that to get the latest container, etc. If we can’t repro this on try or meta, it’s not a bug in Discourse by definition.
All done. I also ran OS updates and upgrades, then upgraded the Droplet to the new pricing plan specs (4GB/2CPU/80GB). Unfortunately, the same issue happens when I try to upload the exact same image that was uploaded (and working) in this thread.
When trying to insert the image the result is simply a line of plain text:
Your image, on disk, must have ] in the filename and this is causing problems:
bad filename].jpg
Perhaps this is a bug in Discourse, we should probably remove those bracket characters @vinothkannans as they are valid in filenames at least in Windows, and we are only using them for the alt text anyway.
