Blanks in Amazon S3 filenames

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › Blanks in Amazon S3 filenames

  • Girish M. 4 years, 1 month ago

    With FVPlayer Pro, somehow we have many filenames on Amazon S3 that contain blanks. I know that blanks are forbidden on S3, but the files used to play fine. However, since the last update of fvplayer, we receive complaints that the videos do not play.
    Can it be that files with blanks in their name play sometimes and sometimes not?

    Hello Girish,

    it is a very good idea to get rid of the spaces. Based on how many files you have, we could help you find easier solutions to change the file names as a batch operation.

    Nonetheless, I will ask our development team, whether they are aware of anything that could have broken the links.

    Thanks,
    Maria

    Hello Girish,

    we have a file on Amazon S3 to test this and it works properly, no matter which form of URL I choose:

    https://fv-flowplayer-frankfurt.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Swan Lake Reloaded.mp4
    https://fv-flowplayer-frankfurt.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Swan+Lake+Reloaded.mp4

    It also doesn’t matter if we disable or enable Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Hosting -> Amazon S3 Protected Content -> Amazon S3 Ajax (Pro).

    There were no changes in the related code. Please provide some more details about your issue, ideally a test page.

    One this which some to my mind is whether you have the “Region” configured for the S3 bucket in Settings -> FV Player Pro -> Hosting -> Amazon S3 Protected Content. Without it a AWS Signature version 3 is used, with it provided is uses AWS Signature version 4.

    I wouldn’t say the blank spaces are forbidden on S3, they just get replaced with +.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thank you for your answers!
    The problem is solved, the confusion was in something else.
