The original post was shut down by Yisrael as he was tired of looking at it.
It has been two months since the bug report.
Any updates on this?

Thanks for the reply.

Setting a new background image works.
Setting a new background video still fails.

API:
https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/$w.Document.html

This works (stock Wix image):

$w("Document").background.src = "wix:image://v1/68d3a9_1de7529c444b4c9eb38401f8efe0cad2.jpg/flowers.jpg#originWidth=1970&originHeight=1120";

This fails (stock Wix video):

$w("Document").background.src = "wix:video://v1/11062b_64ae2a899006496dac01c2e81fac97f1/_#posterUri=/11062b_64ae2a899006496dac01c2e81fac97f1f000.jpg&posterWidth=1920&posterHeight=1080";

As far as I can tell, there has been no change.
Can you elaborate on what bug was “fixed recently?”

@brainstorrrm Hi.
Could you please tell where do you get this video URL?

$w("Document").background.src = "wix:video://v1/11062b_64ae2a899006496dac01c2e81fac97f1/_#posterUri=/11062b_64ae2a899006496dac01c2e81fac97f1f000.jpg&posterWidth=1920&posterHeight=1080";

It contains one extra symbol “/” after posterIUri=
This works for me.

$w("Document").background.src = "wix:video://v1/11062b_64ae2a899006496dac01c2e81fac97f1/_#posterUri=11062b_64ae2a899006496dac01c2e81fac97f1f000.jpg&posterWidth=1920&posterHeight=1080";

You made my day.
The API now works as advertised - thank you.

“Could you please tell where do you get this video URL?”
The URL with the extra “/” was produced by the old API with the bug.
I had saved that old (and faulty) URL and reused it.

I tested the new API by writing new URLs to the console, and the API is producing correct URLs.

console.log("URL = " + $w("Document").background.src);
