Video Indexer Displays blank dashboard - azure

I want to highlight an issue that I am encountering with video indexer. On my machine, whenever I try to login to video indexer ( either microsoft or gmail account), it shows me blank dashboard like the one below:
I have tried running it on other browsers and incognito as well (clearing browser cookies too). But nothing works on my machine. However, the same works fine when I log in through my other machine. Any help will be appreciated.

Make sure you try incognito mode without any browser plugins/extensions.
Can you open the browser console and see if you are getting any errors or network issues?

Looks like the GRAPH API is hitting a 401.
This is used to return the currently logged in user.
Since you are saying it is working in another machine fine.
The possibility I can think of is because of Conditional Access Policy(Location based mostly).
There could be some policies(for Security) that can be set at the tenant level which is making the Graph API to error out with 401.
The one machine is within the compliance (trusted network/vpn/domain joined etc.) where as the other one is not compliant. Hence the error.

WebRequest Redirect to Interstatial shows blocked by extension instead of the local resource. Not 100% reproducable

I have an extension that has been working for almost 2 years now with out issue. I havent made any changes in about a year, but recently i started seeing some change in behavior.
I use the Webrequest APi to intercept navigations. During the callback for some websites i need to do some security evaluations async. When this happens I redirect to a local resource (html) as an interstatial page that tells the user what I am doing. Once complete based off the evaualtion the page is redirected where it should be. This is ussually very fast and has worked great for the last 2 years. Since the latest version of chrome things dont seem to work anymore for all cases.
If i intercept an address bar navigation. everything works as expected. The interstatial pops and everythings great. However. If i click on the same website as a link on a webpage. I get the "Blocked by Extension page". (what you would get if the nav was cancelled). I also noticed that my interstatial is showing up in the web history and if i click on it from my history page everything works.
It seems as if a bug might have been introduced by google?
Just wondering if anyone has seen this.
Thanks

Share via FBSDKShareDialog ignores applink defined on target page

This has been driving me nuts all day:
I have an iOS app with a custom URL scheme defined, and am trying to share a link on FB which points to a page that has this scheme in its applink meta tags, so that tapping it should fire up my app.
Every little piece of it is working just fine. I can enter my URL scheme in safari on the phone and the browser launches my app. I have tested my webpage with the FB debug tool and there are no errors or warnings - it correctly identifies all the meta tags.
If I share the link using FB on the phone or on my laptop, all works fine.
HOWEVER, if I share the exact same link using FBSDKShareDialog, it does not work. It just opens the web page with the meta tags as if it was any regular web page.
Anyone has any idea why these two ways of sharing would be different? They look exactly the same otherwise.
If anyone else runs into this problem, here's the reply from FB:
When you share with mode automatic, the app does a fast app switch over to the FB app to show the native share dialog
The post is cached locally on the device, and it does not know about app links (since only Facebook server side knows about it)
When the user opens the FB, the user sees their cached story (with no app links behavior),
This doesn't manifest with the Web mode since the Facebook app needs
to pull from the server to get the post, in which case it has all the
app links info.
This is unlikely something that we'll fix. However, after a while, the
cache will expire, and Facebook app will re-pull the posts from the
servers, in which case the app link data will be available.
In order to test this, you can share the post on one device, and then
try clicking on the post from another device. The app links should
work at that point.
Which is kind of a lame response IMO - they parse the target page to build the preview, how hard would it be to remember the applink and use it?
There could be two possible issues:
Either the one told by #NJ, i.e. you are just trying to open the link in Facebook app, using the same device from which you posted the link.'
Solution - either open link in other device or cose and re-open your facebook app and do multiple refresh
Or You have some error in your meta tags. There is one important thing though, that Facebook never mentions, i.e. they cache the URL you provide.
So any one used the web link with meta tags the first time in Facebook, Whole meta tags will be cached, and you updated meta tags won't be parsed by facebook.
Solution
To get over with the issue, use below link
Facebook debug tool
Input your meta data included web page URL and
-click on show existing scrape information to find any error
Click on Fetch new scrape information for refreshing your URL on facebook. it will clear the cache for that URL in facebook server.

sign up google merchant account

I need some advice on setting up merchant account in google.
When I try to set up merchant account, account signing up page shows me an error.
The error code is shown as "An error occurred {"type":"PLATFORM_ERROR", "payload":"0"}"
I've tried to resolve this issue with Google support team, but they keep sending me general information and manual..
Please give me suggestions on this issue. (I already finished developing my commercial application, but can't set the price because of this issue. )
Thanks in advance.
I had the same issue.
What I did to resolve it was to flush the browser cookies, history and cache. After that, I opened a new browser tab and logged in to my Google Wallet account (the one I set up previously to BUY apps on the play store). As I was logging in, I noticed there was some error but it quickly resolved itself - I successfully logged in and could see what I previously bought.
After that, I closed and re-opened my Google Dev Console, and tried to setup a Merchant Account again and it worked.
I experienced the same problem and I finish solved changing my address length, uou can't use more than 64 characters. see https://stackoverflow.com/a/21412790/2359141
clear cache and everything by using ctl+alt+delete
keep only one tab
Select proper product type , I selected Computer software its worked for me
Do sign out and login in wallet google
I found the solution.
You just have to let the VAT number empty during registration, fill it later.
It worked for me.
I got the payload error as well, what resolved my problem was changing my PO Box address to a physical address. Google chat support figured it out.

Libspotify: There was an error generating your application key

I have a premium Spotify account and I am trying to generate an application key to use with libspotify. I am doing this using the form here: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/request-key/, but the generation of the key always fails with a message "There was an error generating your application key".
I tried formatting my application name differently (e.g., spaces, no spaces, no dashes, etc), but the outcome is still the same.
Not sure if it's of any relevance, but I am logged in through facebook and my user name on the application form is shown as a number.
Is it possible that there is something wrong with my account ?
Thanks in advance,
-Kal.
I suspect that something is up with the API key registration page. I've filed an internal bug report with the team that maintains that (I work at Spotify), and hopefully it'll be up and running soon! I'll update this answer if it turns out to be something other than that.
Edit: The error was on Spotify's website, everything seems to be working again.

Site with Windows authentication - sometimes gives password prompt

I have a local site (IIS6, although similar issue with a totally different site using IIS5.1) which uses integrated windows authentication, from what I can tell - using IE7 if a user enters the URL into the address bar, everything works OK and the user is logged in automatically. However, if the user clicks on a hyperlink within an e-mail (using Outlook), the site opens but the user gets a login prompt - when details are entered everything then works fine.
Can anyone explain why this is the case? I should say it's actually very temperamental, sometimes the above occurs, sometimes it doesn't... any help is appreciated.
cheers!
Are the urls of the two cases identical? If there is a . in the url, IE will not attempt to pass the user credentials to the site, and will therefore not automatically log you in.
Example: http://mysite/page.aspx is different from http://mysite.domain.local/page.aspx, even though they might point to the same server.
If Outlook is launching using the domain.local, you will get the behaviour you describe.
