Nevermind, I did not realize sendgrid setup was only for sending email, I see the other parts to setup for receiving email now. Please disregard.

I believe the autoplay feature in the templates are causing the issue. I tried to edit the templates to disable / remove the autoplay feature but it says the system is read-only. Any ideas?

code/resources/templates/upload/public.twig:91: <audio id="player" autoplay controls loop preload="auto">
code/resources/templates/upload/public.twig <video id="player" autoplay controls loop preload="auto">
code/resources/cache/twig/6f/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.php:284: <audio id="player" autoplay controls loop preload="auto">
code/resources/cache/twig/6f/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.php:306: <video id="player" autoplay controls loop preload="auto">

Find occurrences : grep -Rnw -e "autoplay"

@nebulon Thank you, I have two fresh ubuntu instances up now so cloudron has it's own vm and appears to be working now. Thanks!

Enable Video Autoplay
Video elements that include <video autoplay> play automatically when the video loads in Safari on macOS and iOS, only if those elements also include the playsinline attribute. For more information on inline playback, see Enable Inline Video Playback.

By default, autoplay executes only if the video doesn’t contain an audio track, or if the video element includes the muted attribute. Video playback pauses if the element gains an audio track, becomes unmuted without user interaction, or if the video is no longer onscreen (either by CSS or due to the user scrolling the page). The video doesn’t pause unless the user clicks or taps the video. This same expectation applies to WebRTC one-way video conferencing. For more information on WebRTC playback controls, see Add WebRTC Playback Controls.

Autoplay video when the user expects it to autoplay in your website. For example, autoplay video in interfaces where video playback is the purpose of the webpage, like a video-sharing or hosting website.

@girish It takes up very little resources on my server to run it in this way and it's just something I like to use when I can, perfectly happy living in terminal as well but my server is way more powerful than I am currently using all of it's resources for so I like to splurge on a little bit of GUI right now.

@girish thank you

@girish oh I didn't clear the cache, I didn't fully understand that cache is created on demand, I looked in about 6 cache folders for the autoplay tag and removed it and it worked. I removed it from the audio only element and the video element as well, so to summarize: removed in twig and in cache. Did you confirm in chrome developer tools that the tag was removed? It's late in my shift and I'm getting sleepy so I'm trying to be clear. I usually skip steps when I'm writing once I get tired. Hope this makes sense.

@jdaviescoates it works fine when both parties are on the same network.

@jdaviescoates interesting. I wonder if it's working for others now? I feel like i've tried everything.

@jdaviescoates sure, trying now!

@jdaviescoates ok no worries. thanks for trying!! I'm not too sure either. All good though. Pretty sure the issue is with my host. May try some other things locally to test to be sure. Thanks!
