nool when will you fix the video player it's been completely broken for me since its implementation :(

I'm on Ungoogled Chromium, on an old version because the new interface is god-awful but that shouldn't be affecting this. My mobile browsers are even older and they're loading the video player fine, playtime bar and all. No custom code for the site, no specific rules blocking anything other than the sponsored banners on the front page, nothing that should be causing this to fuck up. I detailed this issue when the new video player was first implemented and nothing has changed on my end since (except that pausing the video doesn't make the interface even more unusable now).

Subtitles also keep turning on and off at random despite my constant attempts to disable them by default. Help pls
 
I have no idea what the issue could be. Nobody else sees that.
Not a soul? Jeez, what rotten luck. Is there anything I could send over to maybe give you an idea (some sort of log I'm missing, a recording, anything)? Really sick of being unable to watch videos normally.
 
Videos worked for me when you first changed the processing/upload thing but now they don't even show up for me at all, but the little video time will show up around the poster's avatar.
 
Just now, Tartarus has started to re-verify my browser on almost every interaction.

Apparently, this only happens after trying to give a sticker, no matter to which post/user, in the Doomworld thread, but not elsewhere.

EDIT: I cannot post replies to the thread, either. What is happening here?


A few hours later, it magically fixed itself.

Sometimes the video player gets stuck then makes the tab unresponsive and Brave gets all slow. I have this problem on Arch.
 
I forgot to mention that audio is significantly more broken:

None of these buttons work, at all. The audio length doesn't even show up without needing several seconds to increase the time by small increments (eg the length starts at 0:00, then jumps to 0:14, then 0:36, so on and so forth until the full audio length is reached. Then the audio begins to play).

what browser are you using and how many retarded extensions do you have installed
Ungoogled Chromium, and not that many. 90% of my extensions are site-specific and wouldn't be touching Kiwifarms. I've also disabled all of my adblocks and any other extensions that could be causing interference, but the UI weirdness persists.

you have an Ungoogled Chromium feature enabled that breaks hover-over text. I am creating a patch.
 
I’m experiencing an issue on iOS where certain pages of random threads will repeatedly and endlessly load on Brave. The same pages of said threads will attempt to load once and then return an error message on Safari. It can happen when you click on the link at the top of a quotebox too.

I’m on iOS 18.3.1 for context. I have no idea if it affects other platforms.
 
I noticed someone attaching a word doc the other day. MS Office is a pretty notorious and common vector to spread malware. It struck me as an odd file type to allow as an attachment here, since the text can just be pasted in a spoiler or something.

It might be worth thinking about what filetypes you want to allow and/or any backend scanning you do on them for known CVEs. As frequently as MS office RCE exploits are found and as often as this site and its users are attacked by bad actors it might be advisable to just not host those filetypes.
