Onebox regression: simplecast.com

bug
1

We’ve noticed that the oneboxing for simplecast.com has recently broken.

Here’s an example of how it used to appear:

Now, however the Oneboxing a simplecast link does nothing (raw link is displayed).

PM me and I can give an example link to use for debugging.

Looks like using the SimpleCast embed code directly is working (as long as the iframe is allowed in the site setting). Where you using a different method @Grayden_Shand ?

Thanks Rafael, good to know that the direct embeds work.

We’ve always used the second link structure:
https://aboutpodcasting.simplecast.com/episodes/podcaststructure

To show that it used to work, here’s a a post on one of our private sites which uses that link structure and still has the embed: https://pod8.akimbo.com/t/about-the-2-the-magical-power-of-starting-small/17

If you look at the raw markdown for that post, you’ll see the embed uses the link structure I referenced. I’m guessing that if I edited the post now, the embed would disappear.
