Save screenshot not working for videos
How to reproduce
- Go the some page that contains posts with videos. for example: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/
- Find a post with a video and click save screenshot. Try for example this post
Actual Behavior
The little window is opened with the text Status: clicked 0 times, at least 0 more clicks...
and nothing happen
Why it happens
The permalinks of videos are opened in Facebook Watch
which have different layout then regular feed posts
How to fix
So I found out that if you add ?comment_id=1
to the post URL it will open it in the regular feed environment where the plugin can work.
For example:
https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/posts/336144490663782?comment_id=1
Why I don't just push a PR
I don't have the setup to test addon and probably @hckr can fix it faster then me ;)
Hi @orvi,
Thanks for such an in-depth description and proposed solution. I'm on vacation now, that's why I haven't checked GitHub for some time. I'll fix this as soon as I have the opportunity (probably Monday or Tuesday).
No worries. Enjoy your vacation. Let me know if you have further questions :)
I've updated the addon, it should be ok now.
Confirmed as fixed. Thanks.
Unfortunately it's back to not working.
