Active Storage: displaying video in video_tag

Question

In a Rails 5.2 app, I want to display a video previously uploaded in S3 via Active Storage. When I use this:

<%= video_tag [@banner_video.video_mp4, @banner_video.video_webm] %>

I get this error:

The asset "" is not present in the asset pipeline.

I checked in console, and my variable @banner_video is exactly what I think it should be.

I guess your question is duplicate.Take a look at this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46020753/the-asset-logo-png-is-not-present-in-the-asset-pipeline — Afsanefda, Jun 22 '18 at 18:10
No, the video is not in the asset pipeline, it's hosted on a remote S3 bucket. I displayed images with no pb. — Ruff9, Jun 22 '18 at 18:41
I did setup an ActiveAdmin interface, and a form with a file type field... my app is connected to my S3 bucket via Active Storage, and it works like a charm for images. — Ruff9, Jun 23 '18 at 03:55

2 variants that I used to make it work

<%= video_tag url_for(@banner_video.file), size: "150x120", controls: true %>

or with to get S3 url

<%= video_tag @banner_video.file.service_url, size: "150x120", controls: true %>

I found a solution not using video_tag, with a little hack.

<video>
  <source src=<%= rails_blob_path(@banner_video.video_mp4) %> type="video/mp4" />
  <source src=<%= rails_blob_path(@banner_video.video_webm) %> type="video/webm" />
</video>

This is working, looks like video_tag is not handling remote sources.

In what might be considered vital if you don't know the content type, it's not necessary to render the video. – t56k Jul 27 '18 at 03:43

This works as well: <%= video_tag rails_blob_path(session.video) %> – Metaphysiker Sep 15 '18 at 11:38

Have you been able to play the video. I can only have the preview appear, which is the first frame of the video only. I want it to actually play... – uno Mar 10 '19 at 23:43

<%= video_tag rails_blob_path(session.video), controls: true %>. **controls: true** make you able to preview. – Montells May 20 '19 at 15:51

From @Methaphysiker comment:

<%= video_tag rails_blob_path(@banner_video.video_mp4) %>
