Background video stopped displaying - Black Screen

[jamiewaveinteractive]

We are having an issue that after an update of Chromecast, the autoplaying video background we had on some of screens won't play anymore and we just get a black screen. Do you have any insights into how we can fix thie issue.

<div class="video-wrapper">
            <video autoplay muted loop id="bgVideo">
                <source src="local.mp4" type="video/mp4">
            </video>
</div>

Can you add a channel with the playback test route and confirm whether or not it plays successfully?

http://{MULTICAST_HOST:PORT}/1337

Fair warning, it’s a bit loud.

Remove the trailing slash and try again.

Hi- I am getting the same issue without the trailing slash [cid:E8A3AF3AD20749DC8F47194B22D193DD] On Dec 14, 2019, 2:33 PM -0600, Aaron Ross <notifications@github.com>, wrote: Remove the trailing slash and try again. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

That’s my fault, the route has changed in v3, this is the correct URL for v2

http://{MULTICAST_IP:PORT}/nyan

[jamiewaveinteractive]

Yup, that works [cid:48B1F90D88E240B1991F15848F09BF58] On Dec 14, 2019, 4:02 PM -0600, Aaron Ross <notifications@github.com>, wrote: That’s my fault, the route has changed in v3, this is the correct URL for v2 http://{MULTICAST_IP:PORT}/nyan — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

The only thing that immediately comes to mind is some sort of file permissions issue for the video you’re attempting to play; are you able to view it correctly from a web browser? Is the host for the video page resolvable using Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8)?

[jamiewaveinteractive]

I am able to view it from the browser both on an external URL and we also pulled the html and video local to the server and that doesnt work either. It was working until Chromecast updated.

If there is a way to private message you the URL for the video for you to test, I can do that for you to try.

Sure, you can email me at superhawk610@gmail.com.

I should be able to take a look sometime in the next couple weeks.
