Embed GitHub setting caused entire site to go offline

[mikegcox]

I have a website that worked fine for many months. One day I visited the site and it had the Crikey Error that is pasted below. To get the site to come back online I just had to turn off "Embed GitHub" in the Plugin config.

It is only this one site that has this issue and I took the entire User folder and ran it locally and I have the same issue which eliminates the possibility of it bing the hosting environment.

All is well, I am not embedding GitHub anyhow, but I thought I should mention it and maybe find the cause.

Whoops\Exception\ErrorException thrown with message "Undefined index: gist.github.com"

@mikegcox Consider MediaEmbed as being outdated. It does not work with Grav v1.x+ for now. It needs a full rewrite and better blueprints. Any help is much appreciated since I'm running out of time and I can only minimally maintain a few plugins at the moment 😭 .

@Sommerregen Might be helpful to update the README so users aren't left in the dark.

@adrian5 Thanks for pointing this out. It is now added to the docs.

Cheers! It's a useful type of plugin to have, so I hope you find the time to update it in the distant future, maybe when Grav releases another major revision (From what I understand, Grav 2.0 is in the works).
