Hi everyone,
I’m trying to solve an issue with missing images.
What’s the problem
- We have a category with posts that contain video URLs (PeerTube instance).
- The JSON contained
"image_url" : ....
- We switched to another PeerTube instance and replaced all the old URLs in the posts with the new ones.
- The preview is shown, and everything looks okay; however, in the category JSON file →
"image_url" : null
.
What I’ve tried
- I went through the settings
- I searched online and also here; however, I found nothing useful for our case (also old - May 2020; this happened suddenly, so I suspect it’s on our side)
- rebuild html for posts didn’t help either
Questions
- How does Discourse actually extract thumbnails from these services? From what I’ve been able to find, it should be automatic.
- Are there any settings I missed?
- Do we have to do something on the PeerTube instance (is there some setting like “allow thumbnail scraping” or something like this? IDK PeerTube, just spitballing here)
Info
- I have admin access to the forum
- Discourse 3.5.0.beta4-dev
- We are using Cloudflare
Thank you for any help or pointers you can give me.
