Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Incorrect video downloaded

What is the root cause of that problem?

When downloading, we get source uri from currentlyPlayingURL.
currentlyPlayingURL indicates currently playing video. So if we try to download video which is not playing, playing video is downloaded.

App/src/components/VideoPlayerContexts/VideoPopoverMenuContext.tsx

Lines 30 to 36 in 8616678

	const downloadAttachment = useCallback(() => {
	if (currentlyPlayingURL === null) {
	return;
	}
	const sourceURI = addEncryptedAuthTokenToURL(currentlyPlayingURL);
	fileDownload(sourceURI);
	}, [currentlyPlayingURL]);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can get source uri from videoPlayerRef instead of currentlyPlayingURL.

1. Add ref which stores current video ref(ref of video player which we are trying to download) in VideoPopoverMenuContext
2. set ref with videoPlayerRef when opening popover menu
   

   App/src/components/VideoPlayer/BaseVideoPlayer.tsx

   Lines 94 to 95 in 8616678

   	const showPopoverMenu = (event?: GestureResponderEvent | KeyboardEvent) => {
   	setIsPopoverVisible(true);

3. In downloadAttachment function, get uri from that ref.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can update currentlyPlayingURL, currentVideoPlayerRef, when opening popover menu.

App/src/components/VideoPlayer/BaseVideoPlayer.tsx

Lines 94 to 100 in 8616678

	const showPopoverMenu = (event?: GestureResponderEvent | KeyboardEvent) => {
	setIsPopoverVisible(true);
	if (!event || !('nativeEvent' in event)) {
	return;
	}
	setPopoverAnchorPosition({horizontal: event.nativeEvent.pageX, vertical: event.nativeEvent.pageY});
	};

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Incorrect video downloaded

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are using the url of the current playing video.

App/src/components/VideoPlayerContexts/VideoPopoverMenuContext.tsx

Line 16 in 8616678

const {currentVideoPlayerRef, currentlyPlayingURL} = usePlaybackContext();

App/src/components/VideoPlayerContexts/VideoPopoverMenuContext.tsx

Lines 34 to 35 in 8616678

	const sourceURI = addEncryptedAuthTokenToURL(currentlyPlayingURL);
	fileDownload(sourceURI);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should create a new state url in VideoPopooverMenuContext and pass the setState function through the context and in VideoPopoverMenu we should accept url from BaseVideoPlayer and whenever the popover becomes visible we will update the url state in VideoPopoverMenu .

// In VideoPopoverMenuContextProvider 
const [url, setUrl] = useState('');

const contextValue = useMemo(
    () => ({menuItems, updatePlaybackSpeed , setUrl}),
    [menuItems, updatePlaybackSpeed, setUrl],
);
    
// in VideoPopoverMenu
const {menuItems, setUrl} = useVideoPopoverMenuContext();   
 
useEffect(() => {
    if (!isPopoverVisible) {
        return;
    }
    setUrl(url);
}, [isPopoverVisible]);

// Pass url from BaseVideoPlayer
<VideoPopoverMenu
    isPopoverVisible={isPopoverVisible}
    hidePopover={hidePopoverMenu}
    anchorPosition={popoverAnchorPosition}
    url={url}
/>

Same can be done with videoRef/currentVideoPlayerRef if needed.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Incorrect video downloaded

What is the root cause of that problem?

We do not update currentlyPlayingURL when showing video popover

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

1. Add new downloadURL as ref in VideoPopoverMenuContext component and use downloadURL.current in downloadAttachment function instead currentlyPlayingURL. Also add downloadURL in contextValue.

const downloadURL = useRef()

...

const downloadAttachment = useCallback(() => {
    if (downloadURL.current === null) {
        return;
    }
    const sourceURI = addEncryptedAuthTokenToURL(downloadURL.current);
    fileDownload(sourceURI);
}, [downloadURL]);

2. Get downloadURL from useVideoPopoverMenuContext() in BaseVideoPlayer component and add below code on this line ( before if block ).

downloadURL.current = url

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Add bellow code on this line ( before if block ).

if (!isCurrentlyURLSet) {
    updateCurrentlyPlayingURL(url);
}

Proposal

Updated.

Reviewing now

[rayane-djouah]

Thank you all for your proposals. Unfortunately, none of the proposals considered changing the playback speed bug case (which has the same root cause). Please ensure that your solution passes the following test:

1. Upload two videos.
2. Play video 1.
3. Play video 2.
4. Open the three-dot menu for video 1 and select Playback.
5. Change the playback speed.
6. Verify that the playback speed of video 1 has changed, and not that of video 2.

[Krishna2323]

@rayane-djouah, here is my test branch incase you want to test.

[rayane-djouah]

The playback speed bug will be handled in #40646. Let's address the download bug in this issue.

@KMichel1030, you've identified the correct root cause, and the suggested changes are working. However, they are causing a type error:

@Krishna2323, your proposal suggests using a state instead of a ref. Are there any concerns with this approach?

@jsdev2547, your proposal involves using the onLayout event of VideoPlayerControls. Are there any concerns with this approach?

[serhii1030]

@rayane-djouah
Thank you for your check.
It seems you checked my working branch. I've updated working branch.

[rayane-djouah]

Thank you all for your proposals.
@KMichel1030's proposal looks good to me. using videoPlayerRef in VideoPopoverMenuContext will help us fix playback speed bug in the other issue. also, it will be useful if we add additional options to the popover menu in the future.
I'm open for discussion if anyone disagree with the proposal suggested solution.
