500 Error, asset URL doesn't resolve about craft-embedded-assets HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey @darylknight thanks for the report! From what I can tell, the EmbeddedAssetsService::parseUrl method is causing a server error for some reason. Since I'm wrapping a try/catch statement around most of that method, the only thing that could be causing a 500 error is the Essence PHP library. What version of PHP are you running? Essence requires minimum 5.5

If you add the following code inside the EmbeddedAssetsController class, this will let you inspect the server error:

protected $allowAnonymous = ['testUrl'];

public function actionTestUrl()
{
    $url = craft()->request->getQuery('url');
    $media = craft()->embeddedAssets->parseUrl($url);

    echo '<pre><code>';
    var_dump($media);
    echo '</code></pre>';

    exit;
}

Then visit yoursite.com/actions/embeddedAssets/testUrl?url=http://youtube.com... and see what happens

Hi Ben - thanks for getting back to me so fast. Your first instinct was right, I'd forgotten to crank up the PHP version on my staging server and it was running 5.4. Changed it to PHP 7 and everything's fine now. Thanks for a great plugin!

Ah awesome, it's usually never that simple! I'll add a check in the plugin for the PHP version so this doesn't catch anybody out again. Cheers! Ben.
