Media Viewer Doesn't work in DSPACE 7.6

[Victorhugo Bisangwa]

Hello,

We currently have Dspace 7.6 in production use and have activated the media viewer and set it to true in the config.prod.yml

mediaViewer:
  image: true
  video: true

However there is no effect on the Dspace site, the media viewer doesn't display. The images and videos just show thumbnails.

Is this a bug in DSPACE 7.6 ?????

This feature should work in DSpace 7.6.x.  It's working on our demo site at https://demo.dspace.org   You need to click on the thumbnail (of the image) for it to expand into the media viewer.

Here's an example on our demo site: https://demo.dspace.org/items/795a6906-498a-42a7-a330-f57a6aa1323e

Finally got the Media Viewer to work.

=> As it stood, for some reason I do not know, config.prod.yml was being ignored and therefore media viewer on the UI was not activated even when I set the media viewer to true in the config.prod.yml:

mediaViewer:
  image: true
  video: true

=> I had to modify the default-app-config.ts  so as to set the media Viewer to true and after rebuilding the UI, voila, the media viewer displays and now works fine!

Glad I finally got it work after so many Months...….Still do not why config.prod.yml is being ignored in my production version of Dspace 7.6 (Kind of weird, since I setup a VM with Dspace 7.6 installed and the media viewer worked seamlessly after modification of config.prod.yml)  

Hope this helps someone out there with a similar pain in the neck!
