Direct share link for video

Hello,

Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 18.0.4
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): debian 10
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache 2.4.38
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.3 fpm
SSL enabled

I’ve been fighting for days to install, configure and secure nextcloud.
Now that it’s over I find myself unable to do what I wanted to do.
I searched for hours on the forums without finding a result so I defer to you.
Sorry if a similar question exists and I just couldn’t find it.
Let us come to the heart of the matter.
I have two problems,

  • I am looking to create video sharing links to integrate them and watch them directly on my external site.
  • I do not know why but on the chrome / mozilla version of the desktop pc I cannot display the details of the video files.
    I get the following error message: Error while loading the file data.
    But on the phone it works without problem.
    I can however access the details of the other files on pc.

My English is limited so I used a translator. I hope this will remain understandable.

Thx for help

Hello.

From what I can see, there are few things :

  • Many errors come from the app Ransomware Detection. Disable it to try.

  • You want to see a mkv video. mkv is not supported by browsers (neither NC ?). Convert it to mp4.

  • You try to look at an embeded video with a webdav link? So you need to enter your credentials to access your account.

  • You can’t embed a video in a web site with the share link. It may work if you use an extension like Sharing Path.

Great. Thanks.

Also you can share folder and access files via URL without apps:

Thank you for your answers.
Sorry for the response time but I have tested your solutions before.
I have not managed to solve the problem of access to the details of certain videos.
I deleted the ransoware application but I still get the same error.
I tried to delete and resend but it doesn’t work.

For the problem of shared links I tried to use the Sharing Path application but when I add the share link in my html5 player I get the net message: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
For the webdav version I get an error 503.

To get around the problem I put a vhost which goes to the folder containing my videos and it works very well but I find it unfortunate that it does not work directly with nextcloud.

Thanks for your help.
I will continue to seek I do not like to leave on a defeat :).

By writing my answer I understood that I had a cross site problem.
Your two solutions work and I can finally access my files. So I have only the problem of “Error while loading the file data”.

With kind of file has an “Error while loading the file data” ?

This happens with mp4, flv, mkv video files.
It shows up when I try to view the details.
Just 96 bug videos, the rest worked fine and the details displayed.
