Detecting Broken Videos
Would it be possible to detect when a broken link is used and add some category to pages with broken links? Currently the pane seems to load an all black preview image, not clear if there's meta-data allowing it to id'd as non-existent.Kolano (talk) 21:43, 29 May 2013 (CEST)


 * I think not, the thumbnail is generated by a parser function, so, whatever you put, the parser function will try to load a thumbnail based on what was specified when calling the function and won't give any feedback parameter/info that could be used to tag it as non-existant... mbc07 (talk)

So most of the EmbedVideo templates seems to spit out error messages on broken/missing video ids, but not for YouTube or Divshare...

...It's too bad they aren't handled in the same way. Kolano (talk) 19:55, 26 November 2015 (CET)
