Any Video Settings/options jumping

Link to video of the issue

When I started using Any Video it would do this occasionally (for no apparent reason).
if I went to a different page and came back it would stop doing it.

Now it does it all the time… as soon as I select an Any Video bric, the options on the right flicker.

Can anyone suggest a fix??

Hi! I am sure @PeteSharp can help.

Hi @misubisu

Sorry that you are having that issue. This will be one for @norm to have a look at, it seems (based on the video) that this is an issue around hiding UI elements, which is controlled by the API.

One thing you can try, is removing that bric and re-adding it. Unless you have tried that already.

I tried replying to your email you sent, but it’s bouncing back as an invalid email address. :thinking:

Hi @PeteSharp
The last time I launched Blocs, it popped up an update box and advised me that there was an update for any video and any video search… I selected yes to update them and since this, I have not had the problem. I assumed that you released the updated to try and solve my issue… I was so impressed with your quick actions… but seems it was just a coincidence! LOL

I’ll let you know if the issue flare up again.

While I’ve got you here… I’ve been attempting to add Instagram videos via their video URL but cannot get them to work… does ‘Any Video’ work with instagram videos?

If yes, what is the trick? If no, is there a way to get Instagram videos working in Blocs?

Really appreciate your help.

Excellent @misubisu

Great its resolved with the updated version of Any Video. I havent seen that issue before, but lets take credit for the accidental fix :rofl:

There is no Instagram support at present. Just Youtube, Vimeo and custom URLs.

Instagram has the documentation for doing this though. Never had the need to do it, but looks like you should be able to copy and paste the embed code into a code widget.

This is exactly the same issue I had. @Norm suggested it may have been something to do with an add on I had.

It still does it, but I’ve found a work around by going. Into the navigation and clicking on the Bric itself.

But I’ve also noticed that if I search for a page, click on a bric and click off it, it jumps to another page. Seriously considering dumping blocs 6

Hey @Recce43 when you say click a Bric, could that be any Bric from Blocs or just a custom Bric.

Also when you say click off it. Do you mean select another element or part of the sidebar UI?

Apologies @Norm it is Any video again. @PeteSharp

in the video you can see that on the talks pages (left hand side) i can select different pages. then when i scroll to a point on that page and click on Anyvideo it jumps me back to the first page (on the left column) at the top

it does NOT do this if i click on the text sections on those pages however it does if i add a new bric above or below those elements. also the jumping on the right is still there. the way ive found around this is to go into the various elements and click on that and i seem to be able to edit etc. but it is exceptionally frustrating. and in a way im glad it seems its not just me

Possibles from your video -

  • Any Video is reporting missing files in the settings!
  • You have Any Video in the global footer?
  • You have a custom interaction acting on Any Video?
  • You have an unclosed a tag somewhere linking to the other page???

If you could publish the page it would be easy to debug.

Hi, thanks for your assistance, the page is published but in a members area using sitelok.

It definitely isn’t in the global footer or header

I don’t think I have any custom interactions, it worked fine before upgrading to blocs 6 and indeed works still in blocs 5

O don’t think there is a tag anywhere as it happens on all videos and I have around 12 across 3-4 pages and works ok in blocs 5

If you can help to debug I can set you a username if you DM me?

Hi @Recce43

I take it this is only happening within Blocs itself not the exported site. If it’s happening to the exported site, can you give me access to see if possible please. You can send me an email.

Any Video has had no changes made to it, so we need @norm to investigate, he should have a copy of Any Video or I can provide him one. Norm there is a href=“#” tag here, so maybe Blocs 6 is handling this differently on the canvas?

Also double checking you are running the latest version of Any Video.

You will need to fix this too, but that will have no effect on the behaviour on the canvas, just preview. (although it looks like the other AV brics have them attached, so it should be fine)
