[Question] Dash video requests don't reflect port settings

[leana8959]

Describe the bug Having invidious behind a reverse proxy, I noticed that the Dash quality mode doesn't work. HD720 works correctly.

I could see that the browser was sending requests to the wrong port (the proxied port 3001, not the external port 443). I have configured the external port to be 443, but that seem to have no effect on this behaviour.

Steps to Reproduce

I use docker-compose on the plain example configuration (with port 3001) and run the container behind caddy.

caddy configuration

I route invidious to localhost:3001 ```Caddyfile https://myawesome.domain.com { respond /robots.txt 200 { body "User-agent: * Disallow: /" } reverse_proxy localhost:3001 } ```

compose.yaml

TL;DR: I changed the ports to 3001 ```yaml volumes: invidious_postgres: external: true services: invidious: image: quay.io/invidious/invidious:latest restart: unless-stopped ports: - "127.0.0.1:3001:3000" environment: INVIDIOUS_CONFIG: | db: dbname: invidious user: kemal password: kemal host: invidious_db port: 5432 check_tables: true https_only: true domain: myawesome.domain.com external_port: 443 registration_enabled: true hmac_key: "somekey" healthcheck: test: wget -nv --tries=1 --spider http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/v1/comments/jNQXAC9IVRw || exit 1 interval: 30s timeout: 5s retries: 2 depends_on: - invidious_db invidious_db: image: docker.io/library/postgres:14 restart: unless-stopped volumes: - invidious_postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data - ./config/sql:/config/sql - ./docker/init-invidious-db.sh:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-invidious-db.sh environment: POSTGRES_DB: invidious POSTGRES_USER: kemal POSTGRES_PASSWORD: kemal healthcheck: test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U $$POSTGRES_USER -d $$POSTGRES_DB"] ```

Screenshots "The media could not be load, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

Safari gives a more detailed error message, showing that the request is going to port 3001 and not 443.

Additional context The problem can be reproduced both on Firefox and Safari

• Browser (if applicable): Firefox 128.0, Safari 17.5

Thanks and have a nice day :)

I am affected by this too.

Hello, this sounds like a configuration issue on your side.

As maintainers, we do not have a lot of free time so you should ask your question on our matrix channel or IRC.

Closing as it's a configuration issue on your side.

I have figured out the issue: I have confused the option port and external_port. Really sorry for the time it took to figure this out !

@nbuechner Maybe check if your external_port is configured correctly, I have it set to the reverse proxy's port, yet it should be 443.
