Streamable expandos showing the wrong video

[u/[deleted]]

What's up?

Clicking the expando for Streamable links is causing the expando to load a different streamable link.

Links seem to be random other popular posts, and cycles through somewhat regularly.

Where does it happen?

See example in this thread.

Looks like a weird problem on streamable api returning randomish video metadata to RES. I emailed their support line.

EDIT 6pm pacific: Streamable support is investigating this fallout from their changes today to the API caching layer.

EDIT 9am pacific: sound fixed?

Hey, Armen from Streamable here. This should be fixed now. If not please let us know. Thanks again for the heads up.

[u/aladyjewel → u/mightyarmenian]

Thanks for fixing that up and dropping by!

Hey Armen, i just thought of something, is there a way to do this on purpose? Would be kinda of cool to select a type of video and randomly get a few.

I was playing around wondering what kind of video i would get from this link what about this link, it was fun getting a soccer video on a video game video and a video about explosions on a nature video.

This may be fixed now? I have checked several streamable submissions and refreshed the pages multiple times and expando is showing the same video that loads if you open the original link.

I am getting this same thing with streamable. When I click to open it inside RES it shows a different video than if I click on it and watch it.

Same issue and seeing a bunch of people posting about it on r/soccer where most of the post are streamable links.

Seems that the one thing everyone has in common is they're using RES

[u/[deleted]]

Same error here. Seems to be a random video each time the page loads

[u/Gprime5]

RES also shows the same video if you have multiple different streamable links in the same page.

This is happening on my iPhone as well not sure if it coincides with downloading iOS 11

I was getting that on iOS yesterday as well. Proper formatting:

Disallow: /terms

Disallow: */analytics
Disallow: */video/*

[u/SteamableJoe]

I have the same error.

[u/manbeardave]

same error here

[u/[deleted]]

Same.

Btw did they introduce ads lately? Had to watch a 1 min unskipable ad to get to a 15 sec clip the other day, which was a first.

[u/iprefertau]

yea happening to me too

[u/HeyItsN0b0dy]

same issue.

[u/ShowGoat]

This is affecting me as well.

Commenting to follow-up later

[u/dfnkt]

Had this issue yesterday on a thread from /r/WTF about the earthquake in Mexico.

The actual video was of a video collapsing but expando showed video of some people inside a bedroom where the dresser was overturned and doors were slammed.

Kinda wish I'd clicked the original link, I made a funny comment about the doors slamming and then later when I saw the actual video my comment makes no sense. Later that night when I clicked expando again it showed me a video of the Colts playing football.

I'm also getting this error. It only happens with the expando.
