HIFI: manual URL location gets ignored

[QEU-B-458]

we have found out after trying to make a private world with a location that the location when added onto the URL gets ignored and you get sent to a random destination we did use a location taken from a spot in the world.

if you register a location with places in the directory service it works fine but otherwise couldn't get it to take me to the specified location.

What is this means exactly: "when added onto the URL"?

Can you give more details and step to reproduce ?

hifi://5.161.126.31:60002/-2,0,3/0,0,0,1
this is the URL i was using.

and just pasting the URL into the places search bar

Well, the server seems to be private. So I can't test this specific URL.

But I did the test using an ip: port with the exact same path and I'm landing at the right spot 100% or the time.

What kind of random destination did you get?
Same domain but different coordinates ? or something else ?
Can you get the address of those random places ? (menu: Navigate >Copy address to clipboard )

Regarding private place... sadly, they get displayed in the Places app list, they were not supposed to. And there is still not any preference to not published... (Current limitations)
