Hi,

I have some large video files I wanted to annotate so tried using the video-server loader from a local file. To test I downloaded the example video from the docs (audio\_manual\_example\_video.mp4). When using the video loader it works fine, but when using video-server, it is blank where the video is meant to be (screenshot attached). I've pasted in the logging data below in case that gives any clues. Any ideas for how I can troubleshoot further?

Thanks,  
Aaron

Hi! I just tried it locally and can't reproduce this, so this is definitely strange 🤔 When you open your browser's developer console, do you see any errors there that could be related? Also, which browser are you using?
