Showing only text and no video

[GeorgeWL]

On some but not all videos, it's not embedding the video, only the description text

Seems to be a Discord bug which I've just reported to them. Unfortunately can't be worked around until they fix things on video embeds, due to the way Tiktok links are formatted. Will keep you updated on Discord's response

Hi @dylanpdx I think it's happening in Telegram too

This is due to yt-dlp/yt-dlp#9506
There is a working workaround

[dylanpdx]

Until this is merged into main yt-dlp, I've included the fork with the workaround as a dependency.
Fix seems to be working with the original linked video:

If no more issues pop up I think it'll be ok to close this

there's a similar issue, the embeds are no longer working on slideshow type content, instead only showing the text from the caption I'll make anew issue for it later today

Hey just wanted to see if you had made a new issue cause this is still going on, so just wanted to double check before I created one.

[GeorgeWL]

Ah yeah, I thought it was unconnected, but I just noticed this issue has reintroduced itself

[AuroraCamo]

Hello @123jjck have you heard anything new about this information with regards to YT-DLP?

[GeorgeWL]

maybe check with the devs of fxTikTok.com they seem to not be having this issue so might have some tips
