Unable to insert video from URL - "Something went wrong please try again"

[dmh143]

Hello, I am on a team using this package for the wysiwyg editor. I am having an issue when inserting a video from URL when the URL points to the video directly - note that youtube URLs do work.

I am also able to replicate this on the demo page for responsive video here: https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/examples/responsive-videos/. Note that I am using a test mp4 video with this URL: https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4

We have the same issue happening in our app using the video plugin. We are using 4.1.1 editor but I tested the changes in 4.1.2 and I see the same behavior.

I always get the error that something went wrong but in our local app I do not see any console error for clues. I have poked around the methods to see if I can debug this but don't have a solid lead.

Since this is also breaking on the demo page and I can't find any other issues around this, am I wondering if I am misunderstanding how the video from URL feature works? If I use the code view and add the video with HTML then it does appear fine when I exit the code view. I am only getting this issue when I use the video plugin to add the video by URL in the toolbar. The Video Plugin documentation led me to believe that this is a bug and that I should be able to include a video from any video URL not just youtube/vimeo/etc links

To me it seems like a bug since images done in this way work as expected. Thank you

Any update for this?

I am able to reproduce right now in Froala demo.

Feed back here would be amazing. We have this issue as well. I suspect its b/c of the URL itself. It looks like the docs say we make a call to the server and then it expects to get back that .mp4 path, but its being directly provided here.
