Problems with browsers and playlist display

Can you go to my website link through my profile here and send an email with some screenshots? You should at least be seeing something. Even if the styling completely crapped out.

I’ve testing with multiple devices and OSs. Including the last 3 versions of Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari and Opera respectively across iOS, Android and Windows. Admittedly, I did not test on Linux or OSX nor do I have Dolphin in my cycle yet but I know the styling and fallbacks are valid and have been for some time.

Also, I wouldn’t rely on spoofing the useragent. Results are usually faulty in some fashion.

Edit: I did just test that link on a couple browsers you mention having issues with and they appear fine to me.

Thanks Kentfarst,
I think the problem was actually a result of the valid referrers and odd browser caching problems (I’d disabled the site caching plugin whilst trying to diagnose the issue). When the referrers were set to the domain or even the specific page was when it didn’t seem to display (mostly), not really sure why the user agent seemed to make a difference and clearing out my browser cache wasn’t always effective but I know the ISP uses a transparent cache so that may have factored in.

I’ve disabled the allowed referrers for the moment for the key and it now seems to be working, not ideal from a security standpoint but better than a page without any content apart from the text I put before the shortcode.

Anyway thanks for writing the plugin, I was looking for a replacement to the free tubepress which stopped working with the API update and the new version was severely crippled. This does 90% of what I used to use only missing the paging instead of a link to our YouTube channel for more videos. Also thanks for the quick response I was completely baffled yesterday by the inconsistent behaviour and as nobody else seemed to have mentioned it figured it must be specific to my setup as it was across all the major browsers.

Thanks again,

That made two of us ??

There is definitely something going wrong with Google’s console and setting referrers. Do me a favor and see if setting the referrer back to one of the mention settings (catch all at your domain or full address to the page) and see if they now work. Every client I’ve updated has had the exact same issue and I know it’s not something I can solve via the plugin, or at least I am 99% sure it’s not.

Hi kentfarst,
Well reinstated the domain filter and it at least seems to be working (on mobile browsers) the desktop browsers aren’t showing the gallery at the moment but I’m convinced it must be something I’m running (possible some security software as it affects all browsers).

Cool. Let me know if you figure out which plugin it is. I’ll see if I can’t fix the issue.

Hi Kentfarst,

I’m afraid I spoke too soon (something seems to be caching stuff for a long period which affects some devices more than others). I have had to disable the referrer again as sure enough after a while the videos weren’t available on any platform (I tried from my work machine today just to rule out anything local on my network).

So assuming that the plugin isn’t affecting/populating the referrer in anyway I suspect this is an issue on the google side. Although I didn’t see anyway to find this on first glance it would be useful to know what URLs google think the requests are coming from.

If I work out anything I’ll let you know.
