Can't view drupal posted youtube videos on firefox 2.0/macosx

fiveness - December 30, 2007 - 18:33

Setup: Drupal 5.3, the latest firefox (2.0.0.9) on a leopard mac. Using Garland theme. No cck media fields or other modules that handle video. Just ran update.php. No error mesages.

When I use youtube embed code in a plain text input field I cannot view the video in firefox.

I can see the video on the same node in Safari but it's just a big white space in firefox (although I can still click on that white space and it opens up a new window to the youtube video.

I can view youtube videos just fine on any other site. No luck in the forums. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Works fine with the mozilla browser on my Nokia N800 (Linux).

Only an issue when Logged in

Views fine when I'm logged out. Unviewable once I log in. Weird. What's that about?

I am experiencing the same issue...

I am trying to implement the embed media field module into my testing site. The video shows up fine on Safari, but not in FF 2 for MAC. On a PC everything looks fine in all testing cases.

I experience the same results when simply posting embed code from youtube into a generic page or block. Works fine on a PC, or Safari, but not FF on a MAC.

Frustrating...

**addendum to above**

I just found that when I logout in FF on a MAC the video DOES show up. When I login, it disappears. All other testing cases are the same as mentioned above.

Same problem with Audio module

I think this is a problem with the Flash/SWF in conjunction with Firefox on a Mac. The same bug appears when I use the Flash-based Audio module (and their nifty 'pull-out') player. When logged in, pages don't show the player (even though my cursor turns into a little 'pointer hand' when I hover over where the player should be). When logged out, viola! - they appear. Wierd.

Same problem

Embedded videos don't show up when logged in, show when logged out.

Drupal 5.7, Garland, Firefox 2.0.14, Leopard 10.5.2

I tried to deactivate Adblock Plus and didn't see a change.

Do you have admin_menu

Do you have admin_menu installed? There's a conflict between that module and embedded youtube videos with the css alpha filter. You can fix it by putting this in your style.css file:

/* Fix Youtube and admin_menu conflict */

#admin_menu li li {
opacity: 1;
}

However, this will make your admin menu opaque.

confirmed fix

Wanted to confirm that this works. Thank you! Having an opaque admin menu is a small trade off to have YouTube and Audio modules players work for me!

I replaced:

#admin_menu li li { width: 160px; background: #202020; filter:Alpha(opacity=88); opacity: 0.88; }

with

#admin_menu li li { width: 160px; background: #202020; opacity: 1;}
