[Bug]: web.archive.org not archiving or playing properly

[ManArchSY]

ArchiveWeb.page Version

v0.15.2

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?

many different captures from archive.org and when i try to replay it, it does collapses right away and i am not sure if it is a capturing issue or relaying issue.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

here is a link as an example https://web.archive.org/web/20160528151731/http://syrianewsdesk.com/?p=14151
as i try to capture it. it does not seem to have any issues or not that i can detect. when i go to try to play it, it shows up for less than a second and then goes blank.

Additional details

i have tried many other links from archive.org of different websites

Hi, this is a known issue - our tools tend not to do capture/replay existing web archives well.

The issue stems from the fact that the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine uses the same wombat rewriting library as ReplayWeb.page (which powers ArchiveWeb.page's replay), and having both instances of wombat in the replay causes problems.

I'll leave the issue open so that people can chime in if this is something they'd want address, but as-is it likely won't be a priority for us in the near future.
