some v.redd.it videos don't expand properly in the dashboard (broken again)

[canDry]

Similar to this issue that was recently fixed/closed:
https://github.com/honestbleeps/Reddit-Enhancement-Suite/issues/4745
https://github.com/honestbleeps/Reddit-Enhancement-Suite/pull/5244

The issue is happening again with some videos.

When you expand a v.reddit video in the DASHBOARD it displays a border but not the video.

eg: https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/j24sqc/the_new_walking_dead_game/
**when listed in the DASHBOARD view.

Using RES: v5.20.7

FF: 81 (and previous version)

It appears to be a 403 forbidden error but I actually think it's due to an invalid request. In this case, it looks like for some reason the correct URL to the MP4 is being appended to the video's direct link (i.e. https://v.redd.it/[random-string]/), e.g. https://v.redd.it/[random-string]/https://vcf.redd.it/[random-string]/DASH_720.mp4?Expires=[num]&Signature=[signature]

Here's a gif of it in action:

This issue is due RES' module for v.redd.it not expecting the videos to be hosted on another subdomain. It is however fix in the latest version (v5.20.9).

Ok, I'm still on v5.20.7. How do I update to the latest version @larsjohnsen? The web store is still showing this same old version which is 7 minor versions behind and already 11 days old. Thanks!

The Chrome web store is unfortunately a little slow in processing releases. It typically takes 1-3 days, so it is probably available by tomorrow.

Thanks lars. I see 5.20.9 just dropped 30 mins ago... will see if I can d/l, install and test.

Tested 5.20.9 works on all dashboard v.redd.it videos!
