Using rvlink: in URL Template to launch original media in RV?

RV

Hi,

I’m trying to launch RV from a ShotGrid URL template using this format:

rvlink: -l -play {sg_path_to_movie}

RV launches, but says the file doesn’t exist.
If I run the same path manually on web browser, it works fine. (like rvlink: -l -play /path/to/movie.mov)

Anyone know why?

What do you mean by ShotGrid URL Template?

I mean the custom link format in ShotGrid custom field to launch RV directly with a file path.
Just for reference — mine used to work fine until last month, but now rvlink:// {sg_path_to_movie} fails from any browsers it works from CMD.

It’s due to a recent browser change in how Custom Protocol URLs are handled (Chrome v130+).

Workarounds:

  • Launch Chrome with:

    chrome.exe --disable-features=StandardCompliantNonSpecialSchemeURLParsing

  • Or use Chrome v129 or earlier.
