Hey,
After getting many reports of Premium videos not working on QLCrew.com I've investigated the topic and I've found the problem and a solution. I need your help to fix it, since it requires changing cookie attributes.
Playing premium videos in the embed player requires authentication. The user has to be a subscriber and be logged in to the site in the same browser to play them.
Latest Chrome, user is a subscriber and logged in on giantbomb.com.
Example that works, one free and one premium: https://www.giantbomb.com/api/video-embed-sample/
The same page, but on a different domain: https://qlcrew.com/video-embed-sample.html - here the second video should fail (black box).
What's the problem? It doesn't work in Chrome. (Firefox is fine)
SameSite Cookie policy that google introduced some time ago is messing it up. Because of it the cookie responsible for authenticating the user will not be transferred when the site is accessed form an iframe on a different domain.
If I modify attributes for the cookie patto Secure; SameSite=None; it works fine. Like this:
I hope that you can make some adjustments and the embeds will work again.
Thanks!
Sorry if it's been asked before, but what does "I don't want them together in one video." actually do? Unless it's broken, it doesn't seem to do anything. I would expect it to give videos with, for example, Vinny and videos with Jeff, but not videos with both Vinny and Jeff. If that's what it's supposed to do, it's not working for me.
So this is a bit silly, but because there are a lot of videos not tagged with people then to make it work as intended (also exactly how you described it) you have to do this:
Then you will get videos with Jeff or Vinny, but without Jeff and Vinny together in one video.
