[Suggestion] - About the problem with redgifs

[gabri25ele]

about the problems with redgif, mime error etc etc On reddit there is a script that work very well, maybe can be implemented on handyimage

// ==UserScript== // @name Redgifs full height video // @match https://www.redgifs.com/watch/* // @grant none // @version 1.0 // @run-at document-start // ==/UserScript== 'use strict';

function addCSS(text) { const el = document.createElement('style'); el.innerHTML = text;

document.documentElement.appendChild(el);

}

addCSS(.previewFeed:has(.Player.Player_isActive){position: fixed;margin: 0;inset: 0;max-width: unset;overflow: hidden;> :not(.Player){display: none}> .Player{height: 100vh;max-height: unset;width: 100%;min-width: 100%;margin: 0;position: relative;.Video-ProgressBar{bottom: 0;transform: translateY(-18px)}video{z-index: 9}}}.App:has(.Player.Player_isActive) :is(.topNav, .ApplicationFooter, .Player-MetaInfo, .Player:not(.Player_isActive)){display: none});

About the problem with redgifs

What problem?

this problem

to see we need to "reload page normally" like the reddit problem

[Owyn]

can you give an example link?

[gabri25ele]

can you give an example link?

all links in redgif. any. Don't tell me no one noticed. I thought it was a known problem.

[Owyn]

I open redgifs - click any video and it works fine for me

[Owyn]

try disabling other scripts or extensions which may be breaking this, try opening the broken video in a new window and see where it leads to (since it says it's not a video) try checking browser console (ctrl+shift+J) for errors and messages

[gabri25ele]

I notice two problems:

1) If I go in https://new.reddit.com/r/NSFWFunny and click on any redgifs link,

I receive the error https://github.com/Owyn/HandyImage/issues/586#issuecomment-2061097204

2) If I go to https://www.redgifs.com > EXPLORE and click on any gif... I see, ok, but no full-windows and Handyimage is NOT ACTIVE

[Owyn]

Check your handyimage settings that you don't have any risky settings enabled such as "directly open images"

[gabri25ele]

none of this I keep getting errors with links like this https://www.redgifs.com/watch/staidmodernpipistrelle

If you want try a CLEAN Firefox portable, which I'm using for testing, you can download it here, I simply installed the script and added the two in the bookmark bar https://file.io/snkS4rjaH76q

You can get a clean firefox profile on your current browser while keeping your original one by launching firefox.exe -p to bring up profile manager, I've just created a fresh profile and tested - it works with just tampermonkey extension and this script and nothing else changed in the browser

try clicking right mouse and "inspect element" on the broken video elements and see what the address is, it's supposed to be like this

[gabri25ele]

I made a clean Firefox for you, to see what I see 😁

for me It worked once, then it didn't work again

try my Firefox and see what I see

[Owyn]

the video url is definitely wrong there, try the new script version - it now waits for the video to load before grabbing it

[gabri25ele]

nothing changed, I see the image (not in full window) for a few seconds and then error as before. why you don't want to see my Firefox portable. I also wasted time creating it. maybe the problem is there.

[Owyn]

It's not the firefox which is different but the website's content

try clicking "Inspect" on the video element when the script is not running (disable it or press R after it ran) and see what's inside, for me it's a normal address, for you it's a blob:... for some reason

the new script version should solve this by avoiding such video urls to grab

[gabri25ele]

ok, now I see, but... but... simple view, not only gif at full-window as if handy image was disabled

[Owyn]

handy image was disabled

it doesn't activate since there is no proper video to grab and use (else there'd be that error you've seen), only a :blob for some reason for you, maybe redgifs does that for visitors from your country now, you could try Chrome to confirm it's not browser related

[gabri25ele]

see this, https://krakenfiles.com/view/ocpwhWlXv6/file.html it activate random one time after many refresh

I don't know, work better the other script, with that I see how it should be.

[Owyn]

if you mean the style script above - yea, there's no reason it wouldn't work - it removes everything around the video without changing anything unlike here

and this script creates a whole new page (to avoid nasty ads and pop-ups), I can't think of a way to fix this right now
