Redgif links all show as "failed to load media" both in the feed and when viewing the post. The only way to view the these links is to leave the app and open the post in a browser.

I remember they worked for a while so perhaps Voyager just needs a new API key or something.

Voyager doesnโ€™t have a global API key, it requests a temporary one per device. There are limits, but not really clear, really depends on what redgifs feels like doing.

I do plan on exposing the error message received from redgifs for more clarity in the future

if you chill on the porn for a day or so it should start working again ๐Ÿ˜œ

I haven't opened voyager for a couple days now and the embeds still don't work. When I first noticed the issue, I hadn't used this account in weeks.

Do you have a specific post example you can share?

[-] citra_estrella@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

The link in the op consistently reproduces the issue for me.

That's strange, it works for me.

I forgot to mention that this is the native android app from Google Play. I've tried clearing cache, clearing all data, and even reinstalling voyager. I get the same results:

  • Log in
  • enable embedding external videos in settings
  • open the link on the op
  • tap the prompt to enable embeds from redgifs
  • immediately get "failed to load media"
