Video download only a 10 byte file

[JoshWho]

Trying to get this video to download

https://ftjmedia.com/channel/Freedomtalkradio2025/video/.fcyXOpOsYiUuUV_Fq2rrCA/freedom-talk-radio-uk-on-08-feb-25-13-13-36

It didn't convert correctly. I seen a few videos do this. Did something change?

[JoshWho]

It might work now. Just tried again and now it is at 100mb so far.

Maybe it was just converting still?

When you click this download button it gives you the 10 byte file

When you download it from video manager it is the full thing

I see the first link is a mp4 converting to mp4 while the second is a m3u8 converting to a mp4. Could just be a link issue.

This seems relevant, though I didn't chase your use case through from the UI.

When I store videos on a CDN, AVideo writes a 10 byte stub mp4 at /videos/<video.filename>/<video.filename>.mp4

e.g. for video id 1234

mysql> select id,filename from videos where id=1234;
+------+------------------------------------+
| id   | filename                           |
+------+------------------------------------+

HTH!

[JoshWho]

It makes since.

[JoshWho]

@DanielForthman Do you think this is just a bad link issue or it is not converting to mp4 correctly?

[JoshWho]

It is still broken and lots of complaints now about not being able to download the videos.
