[Bug]: Video replay fails due to Failed to load resource: net::ERR_UNSAFE_REDIRECT (was: Does not archive videos on Bluesky)

[dteyssou]

ArchiveWeb.page Version

v0.14.1

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?

I was trying to archive a fake video on BlueSky (https://bsky.app/profile/smalefocka.bsky.social/post/3let6l74ku22j) but did not succeed to get the video archived (even if it can be downloaded with yt-dlp).

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Navigate to https://bsky.app/profile/smalefocka.bsky.social/post/3let6l74ku22j
2. Launch webrecorder to grab the full post
3. Replayweb.page to check if the whole content has been saved
4. Video displays an error message and cannot be displayed

Unfortunately, that post is no longer available.
I did notice a weird Chromium security restriction that prevented redirects from replaying in ArchiveWeb.page extension, but worked in ReplayWeb.page.
If you have another example that doesn't work in ReplayWeb.page, please share.

Here is another example where the video does not replay well in webrecorder: https://bsky.app/profile/jessicameanik.bsky.social/post/3lff4q4giss2q
Thanks

Yes, this is the same issue - the video is archived, but fails to replay in the extension due to new security restrictions.
If you archive that page (with local storage enabled if logged in or w/o if not logged in), then download WACZ and replay in ReplayWeb.page, then it should work.
