'Loading live video' or 'Unable to render live video' in session's dashboard

[DLavigneGH]

Hello its me again!
I launched a script a few times to test the dashboard plugin. While the test is in progress, I am unable to look at the live video. I either get an infinite spinning icon with 'Loading live video' or 'Unable to render live video'. The hub / server are using a proxy, I am not sure if this could be the cause, if I use the http link instead to view the dashboard it's still not showing up

I am seeing warnings about react-toastify in the web logs but nothing about the video, example:
Error while fetching an original source: unsupported protocol for sourcemap request webpack://node_modules/react-toastify/scss/_theme.scss
Source URL: webpack://node_modules/react-toastify/scss/_theme.scss

I do see the full video when the test is completed and I can download it.

Also, the video lenght, when it becomes available, looks inconsistent. The first time launching the script I would get a video of 3 minutes which seems correct. If I relaunch the same test the next video is 44 seconds and only shows the end part.

@DLavigneGH Thanks for confirming! Also can you share how you create session like the hooks?

[DLavigneGH]

Will let you know tomorrow!
When you mean hooks like, capabilities?

I am creating sessions from this function from a class with Python. I can't give too much context but we basically dump an app file somewhere (ipa or apk), read its extension and load the platform and automation driver from there. APPIUM_SERVER_URL is using our HUB proxy address.

Our apps are full native.

def create_appium_session(self, app_filepath):
        capabilities = dict(
            platformName=self.platformName,
            automationName=self.automation_driver,
            app=app_filepath,
            autoGrantPermissions=True,
            newCommandTimeout=180,
        )

        options = (
            UiAutomator2Options()
            if self.platformName == "Android"
            else XCUITestOptions()
        )

        options.load_capabilities(capabilities)
        self.driver = webdriver.Remote(APPIUM_SERVER_URL, options=options)
        return self.driver
