Unable to perform the direct video streaming using get_presigned_url() when the object placed inside the folder

[Udayaprasad]

We are unable to stream the video object which is stored inside the folder, but I am able to download the video object and play it from my local computer.

bucket_name = "mybucket"
file_path = "/Users/name/Downloads/video1.mp4"
object_name = "videos/video1.mp4"

client.fput_object(bucket_name, object_name, file_path)

url = client.get_presigned_url(
        "GET",
        bucket_name,
        object_name)

print(url)

if the object_name is just video1.mp4 then I am able to play the video url from the following link otherwise, if we place the object like ('videos/video1.mp4'), then it is not playing

What error are you getting?

Please reopen the issue by sharing code how you generated presigned url.

[Udayaprasad]

I have shared the code in my first message. Here the problem is presigned URL generated by get_presigned_url() is not able to stream the video file if we stored it in a folder (object_name = "videos/video1.mp4"). I used to test/play the video URL using the following link.

https://cuttopoint.com/player.html

bucket_name = "mybucket"
file_path = "/Users/name/Downloads/video1.mp4"
object_name = "videos/video1.mp4"

client.fput_object(bucket_name, object_name, file_path)

url = client.get_presigned_url(
        "GET",
        bucket_name,
        object_name)

Note:- Presigned URL generated by get_presigned_url() is working if I store the video file without folder specification (object_name = "video1.mp4")

This is a high priority for us. Since it is not working when we store the video object within the folders... we are able to download and play it on my local computer but, not in the UI (not playable as a stream).

When we store the video object within the bucket (not in any folder), then it is playing from UI.

Thanks,
Uday

If I understand correctly, you are able to download the object using presigned url, but it is not playable as a stream. Please share what error you are getting.

Also you would need check whether your mp4 file is stream friendly.

[harshavardhana]

When you are uploading the object set proper content-type such that browser can auto-stream it @Udayaprasad or make sure to add response-content-type header in presigned URL to add relevant content-type in the presigned response.

@balamurugana I have updated my previous question. No error is displaying while we trying to play the video in the UI. It just not happening.
We have observed this behavior only when we store the video within some folder inside the bucket, but when we store it directly (without storing it inside a folder), then the video is playing properly in the UI.

@Udayaprasad There is no such issue I am facing. Please try below presigned url https://play.min.io/issue-1057/myvideos/2020.mp4?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F%2F20210112%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20210112T062815Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=99bfdd6afe43ba3f98436459006ff547ae83f864ec71cb72065d059355bcfac1

@balamurugana your video will stream, because you had put within the bucket (without storing inside bucket/folder/2020.mp4).

In you case the bucket name is "myvideos" and object name is 2020.mp4.
Try storing the video using below configuration.

bucket_name = "myvideos"
object_name = "samplevideos/2020.mp4"

Then get the presigned_url from minIO and play it in below URL. It will not play.

@Udayaprasad You are completely wrong. In the URL

Service: https://play.min.io/
Bucket: issue-1057
Object /myvideos/2020.mp4
Query parameters: X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F%2F20210112%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20210112T062815Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=99bfdd6afe43ba3f98436459006ff547ae83f864ec71cb72065d059355bcfac1

[Udayaprasad]

@balamurugana Got it. I am wrong here. Below is my complete code. Can you suggest how to generate the presigned_url properly so that it will be playable from the UI?

import urllib3

client = Minio(
    "SERVER:PORT",
    access_key="ACCESS_KEY",
    secret_key="SECRET_KEY",
    secure=True,
    http_client=urllib3.ProxyManager(
        "http://PROXYSERVER:PROXYPORT/",
        timeout=urllib3.Timeout.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT,
        retries=urllib3.Retry(
            total=5,
            backoff_factor=0.2,
            status_forcelist=[500, 502, 503, 504],
        ),
    ),
)


bucket_name = "sample-bucket"
file_path = "/Users/uname/Downloads/video.mp4"
object_name = "videos/video1.mp4"


file_obj.fput_object(bucket_name, object_name,
                                       file_path)

objects = client.list_objects(
    bucket_name, recursive=True, start_after="videos/",
)

for obj in objects:
    logger.info(obj.object_name)

url = client.get_presigned_url(
    "GET",
    bucket_name,
    object_name,
    expires=timedelta(days=7)
)

Note:- I am using docker MinIO setup.

[balamurugana]

@Udayaprasad there is nothing special code to generate presigned url. The way you use to generate presigned url is correct. Just use play.min.io and validate everything.

[Udayaprasad]

@balamurugana Yes, it is working in play.min.io. Do you know any reason why it is not working in custom MinIO setup?
