Hi
I made a simple website hosted on a server running nginx so we can watch private videos. It works well when I have the video playing on the main page (https://website.com). But, when I create links for each video I have on the server (https://website.com/video_url.mp4) it doesn’t work.
Is there anything about w2g that I have to consider to make this work?
Any help is much appreciated.
Is your direct running with a valid SSL certificate? This would be a requirement to watch the content on Watch2Gether.
Yes it is. I set up a proxy connection in the nginx config file to the node server running the website.
I can put the home page in w2g without issue, but when I put a sub url in nothing happens.
This is how the url looks:
https://example.com/video-player/assets%2FVideoName.mp4
This is how the video tag in the ejs file looks like:
<video id="videoSource" src="/video/<%= encodeURIComponent(videoPath) %>" controls preload="auto"></video>
You are pasting the .mp4 url into Watch2Gethers search bar, right? What happens then?
Yeah.
I get a thumbnail in the Search Results with a generic file symbol in it, and when I click it the video player goes blank and show nothing.
When you see the blank screen, right click on the page, select the “Inspect” and check the “Console”. Do you see any error messages related to your video URL?
