I embed a video on a Blazor-powered static page. I want the video to loop. According to docs (https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#loop), I need to have both loop and playlist params. Easy enough.
So I generate URL like this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/tFbVZCbLhOk?autoplay=1&loop=1&modestbranding=1&disablekb=1&playsinline=1&rel=0&fs=0&playlist=tFbVZCbLhOk&controls=1&origin=http://localhost:5134 - as you can see, loop is set to 1, and playlist is set to the same video itself tFbVZCbLhOk.
The problem I am having is that when the video is embedded (or the link is accessed directly - the issue occurs there as well), it errors with This video is unavailable. Refreshing the page fixes that, however it of course is less than perfect. I am not sure what causes this, as some videos appear to randomly work on first attempt - but it's inconsistent, cause the same video might fail other time.
Removing the playlist param fixes the issue, but then the video doesn't loop properly, which is even worse for my use case.
I am not sure if it's a regression on YouTube's side, as a month or two ago, I did not have that issue - I think so at least.
It also seems like it's not bound to the tab or anything like that - when I open video once, next time I open it on a separate tab, it works - almost like if YT took its sweet time to create playlist for the video, but that's just my guess
I tried your video sample (i.e. tFbVZCbLhOk) and with the following code (which I modified from this answer), and the looping of the video works fine:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/tFbVZCbLhOk?enablejsapi=1&loop=1&playlist=tFbVZCbLhOk&autoplay=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&color=white
Probably what you're describing is another YouTube undocumented change.
<iframe onload="this.src+='';this.onload='';"
This reload once the iframe and after that it stops. I hope it will help you.

My WordPress website takes a lot of time to load pages, a problem that many of us face. I used GT metrix to check my WordPress page and then checked my website waterfall.
One thing I saw taking more than half time of my page is an image which is not uploaded in my website.
check this image of gt metrix waterfall:
I checked it, and I found this is an image which I have not used in my entire webpage. Also I could not find where is this image used.
Same thing happens in different pages that has different images to it.
I deleted one image from my media but now when I check the GT metrix waterfall I get a 404 error code which means its still trying to load that image and I cannot find it.
This is a theme which I had purchased and its not a popular theme like divi or ocean and hence could not contact the support.
How to check where a particular image is used in my webpage using
the media library (can I do that?)
How to find out and remove this image? Or at least is there a way where I can delete the image from the library and hence my webpage should not look for this image wasting its time instead of getting a 404 code
Your problem is quite common indeed, for your specific case i can suggest by starting to search the image name in both code + DB, it MUST be somewhere.
If you cannot find it inside your stuff there's only one answer left: there's some JS third party script that is loading that for you, but in this case i seriously dubt it would be in the same domain as your site.
Using the media library there's not much you can understand, if you are VERY lucky it will have a message like "attached to" but that thing cover like 10% of the cases, most of the time the image ARE used but are not attached to anything like a post, so the media library won't tell you anything
I've had this happen before a few times, too. Isn't it frustrating!? If you could provide a URL, I (and others, I'm sure) would be happy to take a look and try to figure out what's going on. :)
I've made no code changes, but in the last few hours, all my embedded youtube videos (using the new iframe html5 method) started autoplaying.
From searching around online, I found some that recommended putting ?autoplay=0 in the src URL, but that doesn't work.
Another suggestion said I'd have to go back to the old method, and that that's the only one that allows us to turn off autoplay.
I'd really rather not do that, but certainly will if I need to, but the bigger question is,
Q1: Is there another way to stop it from autoplaying other than reverting to the old embed?
Side question: What changed in the past few hours that made all my videos start autoplaying?
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/N2tlvo5CI4Y?autoplay=0"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I hear it's the GoogleCast extension.
Disable it
Close Chrome
Run Chrome
Should be fixed for now.
Currently, I'm investigating several tips/recommendations for improving the performance of web sites. So, I've started with Steve Souders' excellent books (High performance web sites and even faster web sites), but I've got a couple of questions regarding some of the rules that are presented. FOr instance, chapter 5 of High performance web sites say that CSS stylesheets should be put at the top of the page because putting them at the bottom stops the progressive rendering that is performed by the browsers. According to Steve, some browsers (most notably IE) do get stuck with it and show a blank page instead of showing the items progressively. Here's the url for that test page:
http://stevesouders.com/hpws/css-bottom.php
Now, I do understand that we're talking about a book with a couple of years and that browsers (including IE) have been updated and improved. The reason I'm asking this is because I can't reproduce the behavior he mentions with any current version of FF, Chrome or IE.
Well, the thing is that Yahoo (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#css_top) and google (https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/rendering#PutCSSInHead) still say that.
So, what I'd like to know is if browsers have evolved in this area and this is only problematic for, say IE 8? If that is the case, why haven't yahoo and google updated their recommendations? (btw, I've tried simulating IE7 from within IE11 and still don't see the expected result that is described in the book...)
*UDPATE*One more final note: I've decided to reproduce Steve's cgi script in asp.net and I've created a simple generic handler that does the same thing as the sleep.cgi script. what I'm seeing here is that putting a stylesheet reference (which takes some time to load - I've went with 10 seconds) inside the head ends up producing the blank page problem that is reported in the book. If you put at the end, the browser ends up rendering everything and making a second pass for applying the styles after they have been loaded. In my opinion, this makes sense because when you put the style in the header element, the browser is holding up until it gets the styles before rendering (notice that the other referenced components are still being downloaded on the background, but they're not being shown in the screen). On the other hand, when they're at the bottom, the browser will simply apply the current styles until it gets stuck in the stylesheet. WHen that happens, it will only show the html it has loaded until the stylesheet (if there are any images below it, the browser will still download them but it will only render them after the styles have been loaded).
So, after these tests, I'm starting to think that 1.) I'm missing something here or 2.) yahoo and google recommendations are no longer valid today.
Thoughts?
Thanks guys!
Simply inserting a <link> tag in the footer is not the way to defer stylesheets. The currently accepted method is to attach it using javascript:
<script>
function loadStyleSheet(e){if(document.createStyleSheet)try{document.createStyleSheet(e)}catch(t){}else{var l;l=document.createElement("link"),l.rel="stylesheet",l.type="text/css",l.media="all",l.href=e,document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(l)}}loadStyleSheet("/your/stylesheet.css");
</script>
Optimizing your page for speed involves determining what CSS is above the fold, inlining that part in the header, and loading the main stylesheet later using the above method.
I recommend doing some searches for "above the fold css" and check out Google Pagespeed Insights.

So, I'm working on a new e-commerce site for my employer, and I've noticed that it displays / functions properly in every browser but IE8 (Which is rather inconveniencing, as about 80% of the office uses IE8.)
The site in question can be found here . When i load the page ( And more specifically, when I refresh a page ) I will sometimes have it saying "(2 items remaining) Waiting for..." and then it just hangs at a blank screen, until I type in a different URL or navigate to a different page.
Can somebody please offer me some insight as to why this might be happening, and what kind of things I can do to regulate it.
I used BrowserStack to test this and I didn't have a problem at all. This could very well be a JavaScript issue.
Try minimizing & concatenating your JS & CSS files. You can also create image sprites instead of loading lots of small images. After all that IE will have less files to download and they'll all be smaller so that should help.
Also, I see you're using WordPress which is a little harder to set up by try loading your JS at the bottom of the page. That way IE doesn't get hung up on a JS file at the top.
I have a Wordpress site that uses a JQuery plugin called Hover-Caption ( https://github.com/coryschires/hover-caption ).
The main page of site: (http://brighidfitzsimons.com) looks good.
However in Internet Explorer 9, a similar page based on Category adds a 282px top offset to the post thumbnail image. (http://brighidfitzsimons.com/category/lifestyle/)
I am new web developer so I am struggling to figure out how to isolate problem. Based on this stackoverflow entry ( How do I get rid of an element's offset using CSS? ) my current train of thought is to add a IE specific CSS sheet to 'reverse' the offset but I can't seem to get at the offending element. Also I'm confused why works on main page but not on category page. If you watch page loading carefully, it initially loads correctly then at the very end the images are moved down. Perhaps this is a clue.
First stackoverflow entry so I hope I have followed correct ettiquete. Please advise if you need me to provide any more information.
Thanks for taking time to read problem.

It has something to do with the substitutions of the content inside the title, probably some quirk about ie9 which someone else would have more of an idea for me
just so you can take my word for it: http://jsfiddle.net/BXjK3/
the first two i have removed all the greater, lesser and quotes and it works, but I would say the browser does the substitutions before Javascript can see it, and it all goes down-hill
edit: worth mentioning the reason it looks like that is because the text is no longer properly contained, and so the display none is not taking effect on it, pushing all the images down and making it a jumble, due to the way the content is loaded the ie inspection cannot show me how the text is after the javascript, only what was loaded on page load, so i can't give you more help than that
