Add-ons s9e Media Sites 2.15.5

Mastodon now supports more types of URLs. Also, the list of allowed hosts can now be edited on the Mastodon media site page directly rather than in the add-on's options.

Other miscellaneous changes include:

• Bits and options related to the now-defunct Amazon embeds have been removed. The temporary Amazon media site is still present and associate tags are still handled. There should be no functional change compared to previous version.
• The requirements have been officially bumped to XenForo 2.2, as I don't think anybody is running XenForo 2.1 on PHP 8.0.
• The Find in page feature now works with unquoted attributes.
• Some unused code has been removed, some PHP declarations added. No functional change intended.

• URLs on the captivate.fm domain(s) are directly supported. Players embedded on custom domain/websites can be found through the "Find in page" option in the "Insert media" dialog of the post editor.

As of January 1st, 2024, Amazon has discontinued their Product Link widget. That's the little snippet that shows the product with its name and its current price, which this add-on used. There is no replacement planned and therefore Amazon will be removed from this add-on at some point in the future. I will publish the cutoff date beforehand, with more time to react than Amazon gave their own associates.

For now, I have replaced all Amazon embeds with a text link so that you don't end up with a blank space where the Amazon product widget was. If you have configured an associate ID, it will be added to the link as well. Consider this a temporary fix, so you should start considering an alternative if affiliate links are an important feature to you. I have tried Amazon/eBay Parser 2.1.2 Patch Level 1 locally and it worked as expected, but I strongly recommend properly testing any add-on yourself.
