It was a beautiful day down at Morro Bay today, except for some hefty wind. Fortunately the Air 2S was able to handle it.

Another lovely interlude, SD. Thanks.
Now I know this has been discussed in an earlier post, but the link has done much the same in not running when clicked on directly.
PC: Win10Pro
Firefox:
a) Click on link - get a new blank tab. No video or any other action happening.
b) Right click on link and select 'Copy Link'; open new tab manually and paste copied link - opens up normally and starts playing
Chrome: (same PC)
a) Click on link - get error message - "This site can’t be reached The web page at https://photos.smugmug.com...202022-1920.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE". At least a bit
b) Right click on link and select 'Copy Link Address'; open new tab manually and paste copied link - opens up normally and starts playing
MSFT Edge: (Not surprisingly, much the same as Chrome above)
Mr Google was not my friend in any meaningful way. :-(
'Curiouser and curiouser!', cried Alice.
Cheers,

I have been using SmugMug for several years as a convenient means for sharing some of my image, and/or video work. Obviously the link I share directs to the SmugMug server, and I have no idea of how that effects how it delivers to your desktop.
I also use Apple’s iCloud Drive which allows recipients to download the file, which in the case of some of the video files can be 3+GB. My other sharing tool is Adobe CC Files.
Personally I am using macOS, and Safari which should have no effect on whatever combination you use.

Maybe that's the key, firefox isn't set as my default browser, but clicking on the click does open up a blank tab in firefox, so doesn't even attempt
to open the file in my default browser (Safari).
Also right clicking and saving the file just saves a mp4 file of Zero bytes.

You and Whisky-dave seem to be the only folks experiencing this particular issue. You should be able to click/double click on the link, and the file should open in your default browser.Agreed. Now that I've found a work-around, it's no longer a problem (I get to see some lovely CA coastal scenery - please keep it up!) but the IT part of my brain is bemused as to why.
In addition to the previous tests, I've now tried it on:
An ASUS laptop (Win 7) with F/Fox
An HP Laptop (Win 10) with F/Fox
A virtual machine (Win 10 on UNRAID) with both F/Fox and Chrome
A virtual machine (Linux Mint on UNRAID) with F/Fox
A Samsung tablet (Android 11) with DuckDuckGo's browser
Same result for all. Regrettably, I don't have either a Mac or a Hackintosh to try it with.
Seeing it's just me and Whisky-Dave, the only conclusion I can come to is that the bug only triggers when accessed by those in Commonwealth countries. :-)
As it's still raining/blowing/flooding outside (more than half our annual rainfall in 4 days!), I may keep chipping away and see if I get some sort of lightbulb moment down the line.
Cheers,
Magani

You and Whisky-dave seem to be the only folks experiencing this particularAgreed. Now that I've found a work-around, it's no longer a problem (I get to
issue. You should be able to click/double click on the link, and the file
should open in your default browser.
see some lovely CA coastal scenery - please keep it up!) but the IT part of
my brain is bemused as to why.
In addition to the previous tests, I've now tried it on:
An ASUS laptop (Win 7) with F/Fox
An HP Laptop (Win 10) with F/Fox
A virtual machine (Win 10 on UNRAID) with both F/Fox and Chrome
A virtual machine (Linux Mint on UNRAID) with F/Fox
A Samsung tablet (Android 11) with DuckDuckGo's browser
Same result for all. Regrettably, I don't have either a Mac or a Hackintosh
to try it with.
Seeing it's just me and Whisky-Dave, the only conclusion I can come to is that the bug only triggers when accessed by those in Commonwealth countries.
:-)
As it's still raining/blowing/flooding outside (more than half our annual rainfall in 4 days!), I may keep chipping away and see if I get some sort of
lightbulb moment down the line.
Cheers,I mentioned this to Dave, but when you click on the link, does it appear in the address bar of the browser exactly as it appears in the post you are clicking from? If not, then something you use is breaking the URL. If it is identical, that is the reason I mentioned DNS. If your ISP is not translating

the link properly, and something Dave said made me think that, then maybe the

Opens ups the link and plays it perfectly.

That link opens fine and fast as, as fast as a priest in a chior boy.
Problem is I can't change the DNS server such things are locked down by the college IT bods
as they don't want students or anyone else messing with such things , this reduces they chances of teh college being hacked or taken down.
Bit it starts with 138.37. same as my IP address and there are two DNS servers in the list both 138.37 but the rest is differnt
search domain also locked eecs.qmul.ac.uk

using google groups just like I do on the iMac.
Opens ups the link and plays it perfectly.
From Bill W
You glossed over one important question: when you click on a link, does it
appear in the browser address bar exactly as the link you clicked on in the
post?
On FF: New Tab opens, with 'about:blank' in the address bar.
On Chrome: New tab opens with the following in the address bar: https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2S-Work-2022/Air2S-Work-2022/i-32KTCR5/0/db3539When I click on either of the above links, they both work, even when I switch
d7/1920/Morro%20Bay%20February%2028%202022-1920.mp4
and the following text in the body of the page:
This site can’t be reached
The web page at https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2S-Work-2022/Air2S-Work-2022/i-32KTCR5/0/db3539
d7/1920/Morro%20Bay%20February%2028%202022-1920.mp4 might be temporarily down
or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE
my VPN to a server in the UK.
I also tried Pale Moon (I think it's based on FF) and got:-
File not found
Pale Moon can't find the file at https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2S-Work-2022/Air2S-Work-2022/i-32KTCR5/0/db3539
d7/1920/Morro Bay February 28 2022-1920.mp4.
Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.The above link is broken, and maybe the browser broke it. Did you check the two links above this one for any stray spaces in the address bar after you clicked on the link?
Obviously the file is there, and again, if I copy the URL and paste it into a
new tab, it all works as advertised.
I've also tried using my phone as a hotspot (as suggested above) and confirmed that even with a new IP/DNS resolver, I get the same results.I hate to ask this, but did you turn the wifi on your phone OFF before you made it a hotspot? If not, all you did was use your home wifi, but with trip through the phone first.
A (very) mad stab in the dark here, but is there any one else in this groupThat’s why I tried the VPN set to the UK, but I don’t know if that was any sort of valid test of anything.
who is outside the USA and not having this issue (ie: anyone who isn't either
Whisky-Dave or me)?
It was a beautiful day down at Morro Bay today, except for some hefty wind. Fortunately the Air 2S was able to handle it.

If not, then the link is breaking somewhere after you click on it. If
it is the same, didn’t you say somewhere that you saw an error message that
the browser couldn’t find the address of the link?.
That is why I brought up
DNS. And if this is happening only at work, why are you bothering with it? There’s nothing you can do about it. And that DNS you saw might be only the
IP of the school’s gateway, not the actual DNS being used.

If you have, and you can, I suggest you restart your personal iMac in
Safe Boot mode. Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that >> you’re having with your Mac.
"When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such
as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup >> disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check."
I won't bother doing that too much hassle for little to no gain.It's no hassle at all! :-D
Just restart your iMac whilst holding down the shift key.
It shouldn't take more than a minute or so.
(make sure you can see ''Safe Boot' in red text in the top right-hand
corner of your screen)
One it has started up, you can simply restart again.
All done and dusted within 5 minutes.

Well I have other things running, plus replying to students as they type their orders into google doc,
I'll try it when I think of it during a quieter time.

here at home
when I right click and open in "new tab" or open in "new window" I get blank aka SFA
When I open in a "new private window" it works opens up in the same size window and plays fine.
So maybe a cookie problem.
I'm guessing that will the same at work, but will have to wait until Monday for that.
So sort of sorted.

Depends what you mean by obsolete, I still prefer simcity 2000 to the later versions.
I sometimes play a bit of starcraft on my G4 tower running OS9.2
and I'd like to resurrect 3 G3 computers the first iMacs to play networked carmaggedon on,
you can get it for the the iPhone and iPad but it's pretty difficult to control.
But I doubt my G3s will support ultimaker cura for 3D printing , doubt they'll be much good
for social media stuff either.
Now at work I get something different.Maybe. Maybe Apple itself changed something too.

Nah I think it was FF, as I do manual updates and firefox was the only think I was prompted
to do restart for, I think it went from 97.0.1 (64-bit) to 97.0.2 (64-bit) released on 5th March.

Hardly major as smugmug was the only link I tried to open that didn't work, but copy and pasted worked.
Seems tiktok had similar issues, now fixed. Bu not using tiktok so didn't care.
