Hm videos too should support remote URLs, that's what Steam games use, for example. Are you using the default theme? Do you have an example config?

Pegasus displays the logo, box_art, but when it tries to view the video it crashes:

2024-04-25T22:04:45 [w] DirectShowPlayerService::doRender: Unresolved error code 0x80040218 ()
The video plays fine if I replace the url with just "video.mp4"
Well, when I try to open the video in browser, it asks me if I'm human, so I suppose this might be a server issue., If it sends a HTML page to Pegasus, that would also explain why DirectShow crashes when tries to play the received data.
I noticed that cloudflare proxy was turned on for that URL, but I don't get the challenge myself. I disabled the proxy, but it may take a while for it to take effect, so I can't confirm if that was the reason or not...
Does this URL work better for you? That doesn't work either and shouldn't use cloudflare at all: https://home.uia.no/benjamfk/video.mp4
Ok, I have confirmed both the new and the previous video link work me on Linux. In that case we're left with the DirectShowPlayerService::doRender
which is a missing codec error. The file itself uses AVC1 + AAC LC (mp4a-40-2), so make sure you have codecs for that installed. It's interesting K-Lite doesn't include that by default though, maybe something went wrong there?
Given I can play the video locally and it plays in Pegasus when using a local path... Doesn't that rule out a codec issue?
Ah, so it only crashes when it's remote, I see now. Which only makes it even more interesting; as far as I know it shouldn't need any other network-specific components to play. The 0x80040218 error code means none of the installed DirectShow filters can handle the stream – that's what Microsoft says, at least, so I can only suggest taking another look on the K-Lite side.
I'm loading all my images (assets.logo, assets.box_front) from URL and it seems to work great. The only thing I can't get working are videos. Would it be possible doing the same for video? That way all assets could be pulled from a webservice.
