Don’t know if this is from the most recent update but I just saw this post and it doesn’t show the image in the feed—just a grey placeholder box. Opening the post shows the image.

    Thanks—all makes sense. A retry button sounds like a great solution. And maybe also if the post is opened and the media actually loaded, it could update the image preview store too?

    On a maybe related note, I had to turn YouTube previews off as they simply weren’t working at all. Is that a known problem?

      I started adding support for this yesterday, any time a post is opened, or when you interact with an open post (vote, save, comment, etc) it will update the post feed with that information. This has been a long standing issue I’ve intended on fixing for a while.

      As for the YouTube previews, I really need this marked as an experimental feature. It uses a third party library that utilizes undocumented decryption to attempt loading the video, it doesn’t work at any for age protected videos, and it seems to be really spotty as to when it will actually work. YouTube intentionally try’s to block these types of libraries. I’ll see if I can’t come up with an alternative for this.
