Some videos not playing

Open TheCrimsonLady opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the Bug

Some Videos will not play at all (loading animation), some have a moving video status bar but no sound or moving picture.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug

Choose random video and sometimes it will not play. Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ApOiMpGz60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfDoml-Db64

Expected Behaviour

Video should start to play instead of loading forever or showing other weird behaviour

Device Info

Device: iPhone 12, iMac 27"
OS: iOS 15.3, macOS 12.2
Browser: Safari & Firefox --> same behaviour in both browsers
Version: ViewTube version: image: mauriceo/viewtube:0.9, Safari version 15.3 (17612.4.9.1.5), Firefox version 96.0.3

###Comments

I already tried redeploying the containers (deployed via docker-compose) while retaining the volumes/databases, I also added in another attempt my YouTube cookie and my YouTube name with and without quotation marks in the docker-compose.yaml. But this did not change the behaviour.

Also, if related: the popular videos section of the landing page does not work. I'd be grateful for any help.

I have just installed viewtube using docker, and am getting similar results. Some videos work, and some just keep loading forever.

I too have the same behavior (not loading, not playing videos, no popular) with viewtube running in containerd on Kubernetes (can reproduce with viewtube running in docker locally too).

I can play videos on the same machine in Chrome 103.0.5060.134, so I'm thinking it isn't anything to do with my Kubernetes/nginx/etc setup.
