Encode the video in the player URL

[CyberGhost 0]

Currently, when you access a video you are directed to https://server.example/web/videoosd.html. The problem is that Emby relies on your browser state to select the video. Refreshing gives you just a blank page.  

 

It would be nice if Emby acted as most video services, where either each video is given a unique url, or a unique video id is passed via a query string. For example every Youtube video shares the url path https:///youtube.com/watch, but each individual video is selected by the v variable in the query string, i.e. https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ. By selecting the video being watched in the URL it should make it easy to allow a user to cleanly refresh the page, instead of getting a blank video player.

Hi, yes it's possible. It just means that clicking back would end up cycling through videos rather than exiting the player.
