Tubes iframes transformation doesn’t work

1. Signs that transformation for tubes iframes is not working

  • You can see the logo of the tube over the video?
  • You are redirected to the original tube site when you click on the video?
  • You see some ads, in preroll or over the video?
  • You see the transformation but you get low quality videos?

These are the top 4 signs that the video is an iframe. The transformation therefore does not work.

2. Things to check before using a proxy

If no transformation applies on videos, first check the following points.

  1. Check that the tube is supported by the WPS Player Transform Adult Tubes options
  2. Check that you have enabled the transformation of the tube you want in the WPS Player Transform Adult Tubes options

If you still see no transformation on your videos, it is time to go for a radical solution. The Rotating Proxy!

3. The Rotating Proxy to the rescue

To transform videos, the WPS Player must send a request to the original tube where the video comes from. This request is made by your server with your server IP address. Too much requests to the original tube can result in a temporary ban of your server IP address. So videos can't be transformed anymore.

A rotating proxy will allow the WPS Player to use a new IP with every connection. Your server IP will not not be used anymore to send requests. So it won't be banned by tubes and the videos will be transformed again.

Do you get the technical point? Great, let's move on to configuring this famous rotating proxy.

4. How to configure a rotating proxy for WPS Player

Webshare provides a very good rotating proxy service. Creating an account will allow you to start with their free plan.

First, go to Webshare and click on the "Sign Up" button to create a free account.

Then, fill the Email and Password fields. You can also sign up with a Google account.

  2. Select "SOCKS5" in Proxy Protocol
