[img] tag not working in channel description since 6.0.0-beta4

TeamSpeak 6 Client

Since updating to TS 6.0.0-beta4, the [img]URL[/img] BBCode tag no longer renders images in channel descriptions.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a channel description
  2. Add [img]https://i.imgur.com/I7CpZ5M.png[/img]

Expected: Image is displayed Actual: Tag is shown as plain text / image is not rendered

Worked in: TS 6.0.0-beta3.4 OS/Client: Windows 11, TS6 desktop client

This is an intentional Change currently, to combat ip sniffing attacks via images hosted on compromised hosters. Currently, ONLY ts3image:// URLs are allowed. So you would have to upload the image to the server and change the url (click share and adjust the scheme to ts3image)

This is a somewhat temporary solution - we are planning to rework this feature with sich safety issues in mind. Until then, use the File Browser for images :slight_smile: (S3 and non-S3 work)

As a suggestion, it might be worth adding a client side option (defaulting to true) to block external image links. This way, users could consciously decide whether to take the risk.

Either way, I greatly appreciate your quick response have a nice day!

That alongside some other UI features is exactly the plan :+1:

So how can I currently use it to add pictures to the channel description?

  1. Upload image to display in any channel on your server
  2. Right Click that Image in the File Browser → Copy URL
  3. Go to your Channel Description and Edit it
  4. Paste your URL and wrap it in [img][/img] (e.g. [img]ts3file://my-server?port=9987&serverUID=<some-long-uuid>&channel=1&path=/&filename=banner1.png&....[/img])
  5. replace ts3file:// with ts3image:// at the beginning of the URL (e.g. [img]ts3image://my-server?port=9987&serverUID=<some-long-uuid>&channel=1&path=/&filename=banner1.png&....[/img])

You can even delete nearly all parameters of that URL except channel and path and move the filename to the front: e.g. [img]ts3image://banner1.png?channel=1&path=/[/img]

Hope that helps

Thank you, but I found that [center] also cannot be used

Seems to work fine: [center]test[/center] just got centered correctly in my test channel description.

This way, it is no longer centered.

You are correct, currently BBCodes are not parsed across line boundaries, this will be addressed.

thank u

[url=xxxx] originally could also be used. Is it now impossible to redirect to the webpage?

Just like this
[color=#00CCFF]:high_voltage: Join :high_voltage:[/color]

[url=https://www.google.com]gooogle.com[/url]

works fine

I tried again and it worked. Regarding the image’s img, what formats does it support? Currently, the webp I uploaded does not display.

Also just tested webp images via the ts3image:// [img] syntax from above, works.
