  • Successfully upload a video to Vid8 and the video page link includes ""
  • Hit the 'Share on Poal' button
  • The video link that is inserted into the new post on poal includes the "" from the successful upload page
  • This inclusion breaks the video duration detection that gets appended to the title of the post

Example: No duration for the video noted in the title: https://poal.co/s/WhiteGenocide/572657 Link added to post from vid8: https://vid8.poal.co/user/Khro_/zG1459f

I cannot edit the uploaded link in the submitted post to remove the additional text from the link. I just need to remember to remove that extra text from the link before I submit a post when I do so via the Share On Poal button from the Vid8 page for videos I upload.


EDIT I just uploaded a second video and manually removed the excess text from the link to submit. The post still lacks the duration appended to the title.

It would appear I misunderstood how that duration is added to the title. The duration is in the title of the video on the video page, but the Share On Poal button on the video page does not include that duration portion of the video title from the vid8 page, only the name of the video.

Perhaps I need to:

  • Upload video
  • Hit 'Share On Poal'
  • Remove excess text from the shared link
  • Manually hit the 'Grab Title' button so it updates to include the duration of the video that is appended to the title of the video on the actual vid8 page.
  • Then submit the post

I will try that next.

Fixed!

Thanks for the report.

Very nice! Thank you! You nailed that down while my current upload was still going. The completed upload page included the title text added in the 'Share On Poal' button as using the title text from the video page that includes the duration instead of only the text that I had entered for title during submission.

Was about to submit my post being shared from the successful upload page and noticed that the title in the Share On Poal button includes an apostrophe at the start of the title that is not present in the actual title:

'Devon Stack (Blackpilled) January 6th Footage Montage (from Insomnia Stream 19 - 2021-1-07) [17:52]

Apostrophe is only present in the Share On Poal link text to set the title of the post submission.

Also the link to submit from the page immediately after the successful upload still has the "" on it: https://vid8.poal.co/user/Khro_/Xtsml7c

Not sure if that being present makes any difference at all.

(You may have even fixed these already while I was typing this.)

Sorry, this is unrelated, but the CSS for the textbox field for the video description when I go to edit a video is messed up for me.

Is this only for me so I should fix it manually on my end, or is this something you're seeing also?

I knew it. Thank you again!
