This may be related to an issue we have found with Medial Media Library. The issue I found is that ampersands appear to always be being encoded as HTML entities when written into the page (i.e. & becomes &) - I presume this is a feature of the Smarty templating engine, as I can see the ampersands in the URLs are not encoded in the database, nor when they are assigned to the template. This doesn't cause an issue when the (iframe-based) embed code is written directly into the HTML of the page, as it is when Retract is set to "Yes" or "No".
However, when the block is set to "Automatically retract", the embed code is loaded from a jQuery function when the block header is clicked. The ampersands are encoded when this function is written into the page, but jQuery appears to be re-encoding the ampersands (so that & becomes &amp;). This is visible once the video is loaded, by inspecting via Firefox web developer tools, and using "Edit as HTML". At the moment, the only fix I've found for this feels a bit hacky: to use a JavaScript replace() to decode the ampersands before they are passed to the onclick handler (see attached patch). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
