Chief jim boy for some reason when I attempt to watch video clips on tweets embedded on the site it endlessly buffers and doesn't play at all.
Clicking the tweet to watch on twitter website and it works fine.

Is this different on the new style compared to the old one?

EDIT: No.

Every video in a tweet that is embedded onto the site.

Short answer: I don't know.

Long answer: ****ed if I know - Twitter seem to be playing silly buggers. There's no conceivable reason in my mind why this would be something caused by this site particularly as the embed code is all from Twitter. Unless we're using an old embed code? I will see if it has been updated.

Updating the embed code makes it play. But cuts it off.

Yeah that's definitely worse. Cuts off videoless tweets with a few lines.

I need it to take the IFRAME height as variable instead of setting it at my end.

I'll keep looking. Not sure sorry.

 

[Chief]

Yay I fixed it!

Cheers. Twitter clips now play on the site too.
