Error 406 - Not Acceptable
Permalink
I embedded a video player in an iframe using the add-on, "Responsive Embed".
This is the code:
I get the following error:
Error 406 - Not Acceptable. Generally a 406 error is caused because a request has been blocked by Mod Security. If you believe that your request has been blocked by mistake please contact the web site owner.
Contacted the Player developer who said it's not a problem on their end and to contact web host.
Contacted my web host, they say they show no error on their end, even though it says that's a Mod Security issue.
Tried disabling Mod Security. Problem persists. Tried changing to php 5.6. Problem persists.
Using 5.7.5.6.
Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!
This is the code:
rbm_player" style="border:0px;" src="https://player.rbmtv.com/mqe" allowTransparency="true" border="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">Player Powered by rightbrainmedia.com</iframe>

Where is the 406 error coming from? Your website or the one hosting the actual video? Is it perhaps possible that it's the latter and you're prohibited from embedding the content? Have you tried the same code in a static html page containing nothing but the iframe? Does it work if you do?
It seems to be coming from the web host, not the video serving company. The player is preventing blocking from ever reaching them, I think.
Yes, I'm allowed to embed the content (it's my content).
I have tried the html block on it's own page and the player appears and thumbnails appear, but video doesn't play. Also, it completely fills the screen and is not contained.
Not sure what to do next.

Can you post your html - I get nothing except a blank screen. I'd suggest that unless you're able to get it to function as pure html you're going to have a challenging time with anything else.
