@blahaj when others, or i, post #videos, & i'm fediversing with Masto or Friendica, not only can i see the video's picture in the timeline, but i can also directly play it.

otoh, so far in Sharkey, i have not worked out how to do that. like in my own earlier post here, the only thing i can do is launch a new tab for that media, from the post's link. that's a bit undesirable.

is there a #Sharkey setting i have overlooked that is causing this inability? otherwise i have to assume sharkey simply cannot do this at all, which seems a bit silly. thx

@MsDropbear42 @blahaj It's youtube being dicks. To get it working, we have to run a dedicated proxy and forge user agent headers.

@ada @blahaj ta Ada. i assume you infer something needing doing at the server level rather than anything i can do here as a pleb end-user? i assume further that the tldr prolly is that i just need to get used to not having this function in my sharkey web UI here? pity. ta anyway.

@blahaj @ada no, now it's even more confusing... looking thru my timelines, i now see many posts with embedded videos AND a button asking to open the video player, which when clicked, magically then allows said videos to play right there --- this is exactly what i want, but, still none of my own posts do this, & there's still many other posts also don't. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat is going on? 🤯🤷
