Hidden video breaks all Videos on same Courseware page

[tgloeggl]

Version
3.30

Describe the bug
If videos that are hidden from students are in the block before any videos that are visible, this won't work. It will show that the video is loading, but nothing happens. The workaround is to move the visible video in front of the invisible one in the block.

For the instructor, everything is as it should be.
From the student's perspective, however, the video that is set to be visible (regardless of whether it is at the top or bottom) is neither visible nor invisible; instead, the message “Video is loading” appears, but without the video actually loading.
–> That means that the workaround in the first posting might not work.

It seems that this problem has been occurring for about a month with the Firefox browser, but not with Edge or Safari. Until then, everything has been working fine with Firefox.

This bug occurs in version 2 of the plugin.

@tgloeggl : Till, based on the new findings, can you assess whether this is a problem with the Stud.IP OpenCast plugin or with Courseware?
I have now received the following assessment from data-quest: “However, this is a Courseware block of the ‘OpenCast’ type, so it is not purely a problem with Courseware, but with this specific block type. And that comes from the OpenCast plugin.”

This problem does not occur in version 3.x of the plugin because for every video a redirect is performed which makes sure the session exists and the rights are loaded.

Depends on the view. It IS fixible in the plugin itself, though there is currently no one supporting bugfixing in version 2 of the plugin anymore. :/
