Shinyapp Deployment Issue with Youtube video in iFrame

[Sushanta Deb]

Hi,

Below code embedding a Youtube video works  fine in my EC2@ RStudio  but does not show up when deployed to Shinyapps.io

Code:

actionButton("Demo", label = "",class="btn-group btn-group-xs",icon=icon("video-camera")

bsModal("demomodal","Watch the Demo","Demo",width = "90%", div(HTML('<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aOWB0yGTrNY/" frameborder="0" style="overflow:hidden;height:500px;width:100%" height=100% width="100%"></iframe >'),height= "100%", width= "100%")),

Please help me understand the cause and the workaround

Regards,

SD

I am guessing it is because your iframe link is pointing to a non ssl protected URL (http://www.youtube.com....)  browsers will not allow for a page that is served over ssl to have non-ssl content on the same page.

Hi Tareef,

Thank you for your comments but when I open the app locally using the browser, it works fine but the problem starts when I deploy it in Shinyapps.io

Do you still think it is a security issue.  If yes, can you show me a test case where I can render a youtube video from a shinyapp.  I tried the output$video option but even that did not work out

Appreciate a solution

Thank you

SD

Tareef is probably right. Just try changing http to https in your iframe URL, if that doesn't work then let's investigate other possibilities. It's not a problem on your own server because you're probably not serving apps over https, while shinyapps.io does serve apps over https.

Hi,

I tried the links "http://www.youtube.com/embed/YE7VzlLtp-4" and "https://www.youtube.com/embed/YE7VzlLtp-4".  Both did not yield the results.  Was wondering if we could try any workarounds

Thank you

Unfortunately you are out of my depth here Sushanta.  If you had a reproducible example that you could share, it might be easier to debug what is going on.
