Hundreds of notifications when a shared video is played in the browser #519
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Enable public link download notifications
- Upload an iPhone video to Nextcloud, so that it ends up with the .mov extension. Share it via public link
- Go to the public link
- Play the video
- Look at all the notifications and have an aneurysm
Expected behaviour
A single notification should be sent, or maybe one when the user visits and another one when they actually download the file
Actual behaviour
I get a notification that the file is being downloaded when I visit the link, then immediately another notification that just says “Nextcloud notification”, and then another one that the file is being downloaded. All before playing the video.
Once you press the play button... I start getting about 20 notifications a second, some of them saying the file is being downloaded and others just saying “Nextcloud notification” for some reason.
