If you look at the description of the below filter, it says the filter adds Content-Disposition as attachment. But to play or display anything directly on the tab, you need the disposition to be inline. So, just add the path you need to the exclude list. This will make the file/video/asset open in the browser tab instead of downloading.

Hi @uday_bhaskarpe ,

Could you please confirm the AEM version you're using? Is it AEM 6.5 or AEM as a Cloud Service?

If you're on AEM as a Cloud Service, the Content Disposition Filter is no longer supported as per Adobe documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/assets-cloud-changes

 

In this case, to render the asset in the browser instead of downloading it, you'll need to handle it via Dispatcher headers using Content-Disposition: inline.

Some references that might help:

Hope this helps
