I was able to embed a video from Invidious into my Obsidian notes on desktop without any issues but when I went to go watch that same video in the iOS app, nothing appeared.

Also when I set custom metadata categories at the beginning of my notes on desktop, they appeared fine in both edit and reading mode but in the iOS app, the CUSTOM tags disappear in reading mode even if they have values that follow such as… Example: Text

Submit one bug report/feature request per thread, please.

Your second issue is a feature request: we do not currently recognize or render arbitrary front matter fields.

Canvas web embeds are not rendered on mobile

On desktop, we are able to render websites using a custom Electron tag called <webview>. This renders websites in a separate thread and is essentially a true “embedded” site. On mobile, we use a separate architecture instead of Electron so we are falling back to iframes. Iframes have a lot of shortcomings, the main one being that many websites block being loaded as an iframe. Sadly I don’t see us being able to fix this.

Thank you very much, that explains it.

Arbitrary front matter fields for mobile (iOS) correct? I didn’t mean it to be a feature request, I just assumed it was a universal feature and maybe there was a bug.
