Assets Link Share - Video Playback Issues

[crazy4aem]

When a video is shared via the "Link Share" feature the video fails to load in chrome. If the whitespace is clicked the video loads and plays. In firefox the video preview does load. However, intermittently the play button does not load.

Is this expected behavior?

Check the console logs/network tab for any errors/warning?

works fine in chrome:

Thank you very much for the reply.

I'm curious now, can you test this the link in a non-aem-authenticated tab/window (i.e. incognito tab)? I've found that there is javascript that is not accessible if you are not authenticated to aem. This use case would be for an external user.

If it works for you in FF but not in Chrome, then it could be an issue with your Chrome extensions/plugins. Check if you are able to access the thumbnail image in Chrome?

It would be something like /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/assetlinkshare.html/content/dam/eaem-decrypt-assets-filter-6420.mp4.thumb.319.319.png?ch_ck=1548415046000&sh=b9e262cf_5215_422a_bb50_fef385e5b2f3.ejJ58PdI4mMDpABpddLa7nJwf2Zk1Bf5rBWWXudgTXY&path=

If the 'javascript' is not accessible to un-authenticated users then grant read access to 'anonymous' user for that path via /useradmin or otherwise share the equivalent publish-server link.

The errors I am getting in chrome web console are actually:

test2.mp4:1 Refused to execute script from 'https://localhost:4502/libs/granite/core/content/login.html?resource=%2Flibs%2Fdam%2Fcomponents%2Fsc...' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

I thought the solution would be permissions. This does not appear to be the case.

Why does it throw you to login.html. The embedded token should allow access without logging-in.

check the url in my case above it has --- sh=b9e262cf_5215_422a_bb50_fef385e5b2f3.ejJ58PdI4mMDpABpddLa7nJwf2Zk1Bf5rBWWXudgTXY

I am not sure actually. I can confirm that while logged in everything loads properly. It's only when a user outside of AEM logs in that this situation occurs.

This is the share link url that I get - http://localhost:4502/linkshare.html?sh=9838e433_5f18_4f8b_bb46_c37cc11fbf31.TLY0iwJMcYXz1he-HNdCcum...

This was the culprit.
