Some videos don’t play from GitHub links

Hi, in my app I play videos using links from GitHub, which are loaded from a Google Spreadsheet.
Some videos work, but others don’t play at all.
All links look correct and in the same format.

Hi Komang,

Can you provide a few problematic links to test?

Sorry for the late reply.

I’ve tested it in the browser and didn’t find any issues. Could you help identify the problem?

It is a download link beacuse it open my download manager .
find a url that play video one brower

Why it doesn’t work:

  • GitHub sends video files with headers that don’t allow range requests, which are required for streaming video in many players.
  • Kodular’s Video Player needs a direct link that supports streaming, not a download-only link.
