Workaround for "There seems to be a technical issue. You can retry or report the issue if it persists."

This is still an issue in 1.43 (as with the other 1.4x series).

Until this is remedied by the code maintainers, the easiest workaround is:

1. Edit:

extensions/MultimediaViewer/resources/mmv/provider/mmv.provider.Image.js

2. Go to the line containing the function

	imagePreloadingSupported() {

3. Comment out the following line (using the forwardslashes -- // ):

return window.XMLHttpRequest !== undefined && 'withCredentials' in new XMLHttpRequest();

4. Add on a new line underneath it (before the } ) to read:

return false;

That should work around the issue.

Kindly note that every time you update MediaWiki (and also update the extensions) you will likely need to change this as it over-writes previous versions. Joe Beaudoin Jr. Redux (talk) 00:47, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

I was having the same problem with Mediawiki 1.43. Spent several hours over the past few weeks trying a lot of other things. This posting from 3 days ago worked perfectly for me - problems solved. Now, if it can be incorporated into the extension (or fix whatever is causing the problem) so I don't have to manually change the file mmv.provider.Image.js every six months when I upgrade to the latest Mediawiki release.
