Since updating from 0.19.3, my instance no longer pulls Youtube metadata/thumbnails
Upgraded my instance from 0.19.3 to 0.19.9 today, and fetching metadata for Youtube videos no longer works. Worked perfectly on 0.19.3 as of 3 hours ago (pre-upgrade).
This is how it's supposed to look:
Good job, lemmy devs! 👍
Blame YouTube for putting a megabyte (that's a million characters) of data before the tags that are needed for this.
Be that as it may, it worked fine in 0.19.3 three hours ago.
Hmm. Do they accept an HTTP Range-Request?
Doesn't matter if they do, Lemmy cuts off the connection after streaming the number of bytes it wants.
It sounds like the issue is the bytes that come before the data it wants, rather than after.
Maybe. But then you'd have to know where the tags are. And YouTube likes playing around.
Could probably search for it, if one could determine from a snippet of the content whether-or-not one is too far.
