Videoplayer playing the default video instead of from database

Hi! I’m trying to use a repeater to display a user-uploaded video or an image from a database. What seems to happen is that the URL gets set to the one in the database and the thumbnail is changed to match that video, however, when you play the video it still shows the default one. In the preview mode, nothing loads, although when published the default video is shown.

Currently, I’m doing all of this through code. Although, I did try hooking up the video player with the “Connect to Database” feature and I got the same results.

Here’s the code I’m using to do this:

import wixData from "wix-data";

$w.onReady(function () {
    $w("#dynamicDataset").onReady(() => {
        $w("#listRepeater").onItemReady(($item, itemData) => {
            $item("#name").text = itemData.firstName + " " + itemData.lastName;

             if (itemData.submissionVid) {
                 $item("#videoPlayer").src = itemData.submissionVid;
                 $item("#videoPlayer").expand();
             } else if (itemData.submissionImg) {
                 $item("#imageDisplay").src = itemData.submissionImg;
                 $item("#imageDisplay").expand();
             }
        });
    });
});

Also here’s a sample of the URL being set:

wix:video://v1/b8e6f2_0e981608817a40078988bb3370cca700/City.mp4#posterUri=b8e6f2_0e981608817a40078988bb3370cca700f000.jpg&posterWidth=1280&posterHeight=720

Any ideas on why this is happening? Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

Still running into this problem. I’m going to try with a fresh start on a new website and see how it goes

EDIT: I tried a few things on my main website and it seems to be working now. I’m not exactly sure what the problem was before. I’ll update this if it breaks again
