[Error]

Console: VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED) The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

[HTML Code]

<a class="btn btn-hover videoID" onclick="enableVideoJS();" data-fancybox="" data-type="video" data-src="blob:https://mywebsite.com/7007535b-a807-4e28-b62b-2274cc9f6f34" href="javascript:;"><i class="fa fa-play mr-1" aria-hidden="true"></i>Watch Show</a> 


After you click Watch Show - uses VideoJS below

<video class="vjs-tech" autoplay="" controlslist="nodownload" disablepictureinpicture="true" poster="" id="vjs-play19_html5_api" tabindex="-1">
<source src="blob:https://mywebsite.com/7007535b-a807-4e28-b62b-2274cc9f6f34" type="video/mp4"></video>

[JavaScript Code]

// Searches DOM for videoID and grabs data-src and sets this as a string
  let attributes = $(".videoID").map(function () { return $(this).attr("data-src"); }).get();

// Create blob looping through attributes length - in this case is 6 video URLS

     for (let i=0; i < attributes.length; i++){
        
        let url = URL.createObjectURL(
           new Blob([attributes[i]], { "type" : "video\/mp4; codecs=\"avc,aac\"" })
        );

        // Update source with blob URL, writing over current values
        attributes[i] = url; 
        $(".videoID").attr("data-src", attributes[i]);

     }

// Output array to console
     console.log(attributes);
     //
     // Console shows URLS converted to BLOB from video/mp4
     //
     // Array(6)
     // 0: "blob:https://mywebsite.com/63d21c8d-5950-42a0-a46d-9eb4d61046e6"
