When you meen the lower link (5. videojs 5.0), this link plays well on my laptop.
Maybe the quality is low, maybe it is the laptop. I used some other trailer links (code)  in that link.

Ytapi keep suffering Denial of Service issues. So their service comes and goes. What about Videoseachxl?
That is working on my Tablet via ytapi.


I am multi-tasking. I don't use the x3d 24/7. It just seems that way.

The hang issue could be the same as opensubs. Ytapi may now be using cloudflare so the player no longer makes a direct connection to the core server, but to one of many clones created by cloudflare. Whatever they are doing, the player dosn't like it.

We have been digging deeper into what ytapi is now doing. Three weeks ago they shifted to using a secure server for the actual restreaming. They x3d hangs at the https request to that server. It's a belt and braces approach considering the url itself is an encrypted vpn.

Trailers now working. Ytapi gave us the option to disable crypto SSL.

Trailers play well, but sometimes i only get leaders picture and the video is not playing. When i try it again it mostly plays the trailer well.

I had created a couple more versions trying to get it to work when we didn't know the problem was at ytapi. I have rolled back by one.

Thanks jer for all the work on getting the trailers to play again. At random there are some trailers that will not start , but after starting it again it will play. A bit of a strange behaviour.

The opensubs issue lead us to check if ytapi where using cloudflare. They have, and for some time. That's why the recent loss of trailers was not down to cloudflare, but it does explain the long term unreliability.

I have added a double start to the current object based, no iframe, version.  Hopefully that makes ut more reliable.

The trailers are not playing verry well lately.
Sometimes they play but most of the time they don't play at all, nothing changed at the mede8er settings.
Today the playing is verry poor, my question is are there some changes made on the server ?
One moment they play, the next moment they don't.

Just tested via my tablet. Got an  error i have never seen before. "Cloudfare cache empty". Cloudflare themselves say their service is not meant for interactive database type sites, but fixed html sites, like blogs. It is not a free way to increase access bandwidth. Opensubs should not be using it, neither should the trailer source. It's too easy to run cpanel and turn it on.

Oke jer1956,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't no what to do with your comment for me that is aba cadabra . I just wanted to tell that the trailers play just sometimes, after scraping you can't even test if the trailer wil play and if it is the correct one, because in 95 percent of the time it will not play.

I tested the trailer link's on my laptop, and they allso do not play there ( sometimes there will play one)
