App has no preview but it seems that it already fetched the page

[vader-pepe]

Description

I just ran this on my local machine, it works perfectly. Good job there! The problem is when I run this to my VPS. When I use it, the speed indicator shows 0Kbps. But when I go to a page, let say Facebook, the header is changing. That means the app is working, but the preview isn't there.

Screenshots

To Reproduce

Just run this in your VPS without any GUI.

Expected Result

I get a working one, the same as my local machine.

In some situations, the play event will trigger before the video is ready, and you will see the error in your screenshot.

Besides, if you are using a reverse proxy to proxy the requests(e.g. Nginx), you will need a TURN server.

Can you please give a detailed explanation of how to work with a remote browser together with a turn server in Google's cloud environment?
Do we need to set up a turn server or can we use a free turn server?
I would appreciate it if you could insert dummy values ​​into the .env.example file

Hello @zvirot1,

Can you please give a detailed explanation of how to work with a remote browser together with a turn server in Google's cloud environment?

To find relevant tutorials, use the keyword "turn server" in your search. For a more specific search, such as for Ubuntu OS, input "ubuntu turn server".

Do we need to set up a turn server or can we use a free turn server?

You can utilize a free TURN server if available. If not, you'll have to set up your own TURN server.

I would appreciate it if you could insert dummy values ​​into the .env.example file

If your TURN server is operating with the IP address "0.0.0.0" and on port "19403", your environment variables would appear as follows:

TURN_SERVER=0.0.0.0:19403
TURN_KEY=your-turn-server-secret-key
