Unable to view videos on my peertube instance, just spinning wheel

Hello this may be a proxy issue I’m not sure. After I publish a video and it has finished transcoding I just get a spinning wheel when trying to view my video. Here is the video Cleaning and trimming Giorgio's home - nightshift

Browser console gives me:

Try removing all lines after that. There are optional configuration that couldn’t be used in an « external » nginx proxy configuration.

So I need to comment out all of this?:

yes, all are tagged Performance optimizations
then not needed in your case :wink:

That did it, seems to working fine now thanks.

nice :+1:
