Embedding a Twitch clip does not work, it somehow generates a bad parent parameter.

At first I thought meta.tag had to do with Discourse Meta, but it’s the same value on every instance.
When you manually change the link into the actual hostname of the forum, the iframe will load.
A quick Google search leads me here , to another piece of software having the same issue, and the gist of that topic is
This suggests that it’s scraping the Twitch page for the Embed code. And is not replacing “meta.tag” with the correct parent.
Which seems to be the case here as well.

The link you posted above the pic. Is that the one not loading the iframe? When I created a post in my instance (Tests-passed) up to date it loads

Here on Meta doesn’t load
Screenshot from my forum.
I thought it might have been added via the iftrane Theme component
My dashboard for version

On my tests-passed instance (same commit as yours), I get a regular onebox when I paste that link, just like on your forum. But when I add ?foo (or any other query parameter) I get the behavior like here on Meta. So I guess that’s a second bug (or at least: something I don’t understand)
But anyway… that’s a regular onebox. I want an embedded player (and that’s what I get when I manually “fix up” the parent parameter in the link through the dev tools inspector)

Is the clip a bit different than this
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1845242876?tt_medium=mobile_web_share&tt_content=vodThe above works on my instance for twitch video.
Okay was able to repo. As you said it is the clips that are not sharing correctly. Full twitch videos seem fine.
Interesting bug. I am wondering if it might be more on twitch’s side as Video works with player but the share clips doesn’t
