Redgif links all show as “failed to load media” both in the feed and when viewing the post. The only way to view the these links is to leave the app and open the post in a browser.
I remember they worked for a while so perhaps Voyager just needs a new API key or something.
You must log in or register to comment.
Voyager doesn’t have a global API key, it requests a temporary one per device. There are limits, but not really clear, really depends on what redgifs feels like doing.
I do plan on exposing the error message received from redgifs for more clarity in the future
if you chill on the porn for a day or so it should start working again 😜
I haven’t opened voyager for a couple days now and the embeds still don’t work. When I first noticed the issue, I hadn’t used this account in weeks.
Do you have a specific post example you can share?
The link in the op consistently reproduces the issue for me.
That’s strange, it works for me.
I forgot to mention that this is the native android app from Google Play. I’ve tried clearing cache, clearing all data, and even reinstalling voyager. I get the same results:
- Log in
- enable embedding external videos in settings
- open the link on the op
- tap the prompt to enable embeds from redgifs
- immediately get “failed to load media”
Works for me if I click the thumbnail from ‘all’; fails if I go to the post.
Not just redgifs (iirc) either so probably a video thing rather than an NSFW related thing.
If the domain could be displayed in the list view, then it would be immediately apparent why it is not loading and you can move on.
(I’m OK with not seeing Redgif stuff, but a lot the time they don’t show ‘failed to load’ for a while, so you think it may be some image still loading.)
Are you In a US state with an age verification law? I get the same thing and I think it’s due to red gif blocking IP addresses from my state due to these laws.
Nope, no verification laws in my state. I can see the embeds fine in the web UI.
tested on a VPN and same result
Same result for me in the UK
