Video URL Source

BekarHaus · December 7, 2022

Hi members!

I recently ran into a problem.

Little description:

In Code Block I embedded video.

I find previously uploaded video file in

Asset Library > File Details >> Developer Tools (Chrome) > select element (video) > Copy URL >>> Paste in code in Code Block

Few weeks ago it worked fine.

Problem is that before structure was;

https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/.../mp4-h264-aac-1920:1080 or /mp4-h264-1920:1080 or /mp4-h264-aac-2560:1080 etc.

And now structure is:

https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/.../thumbnail

So, pasted code in Code Block is not video but thumbnail.

In Forum I found workaround to structure code like this: yourdomain/s/videofile.mp4

But for me it is not solution, because it is relative to temporary domain while I’m working on unpublished page, on other hand “video.squarespace-cdn.com" is absolute and there is no need to change after page is published.

In addition, if I paste that URL in browser it went straight to download (Do you want to allow downloads on “static1.squarespace.com”?):

https://bekarhaus.squarespace.com/s/Untitled-2-Broadband-High.mp4

In Contrast if i paste:

https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103bdffecb075463e39396/68520104-afa3-47a5-9170-bba0d96181f9/mp4-h264-1920:1080

It plays video.

Question is: where and how can I find URL structured as:

https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/.../mp4-h264-aac-1920:1080

Best Regards

There is no way to get direct video with that way. Try upload video via this guide: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205813928-Uploading-and-managing-files

Suppose your video name is: abc.mp4

Then after uploading, the video url will be: yourdomain/s/abc.mp4

eg: tuanphan.squarespace.com/s/abc.mp4

Hello Tuan,
Thank you very much to take your time and look into it.

I managed to use relative path. > /s/filename.mp4

Absolute path is working, also. > domain.name/s/filename.mp4

So, final code is

<video style="width: 100%" playsinline controls controlsList="nodownload" autoplay muted loop
  src="/s/filename.mp4">
    <source type="video/mp4" src="/s/filename.mp4">
  <body oncontextmenu="return false;">
</video>

I don't know how I managed before to pick URL's for movies, but you can test it...

These aren't video url. Video url has been encrypted and it shows as you sent.
