hey friends we have a video a user isn't able to see and i want to see if anyone can help me figure out why

i've tried multiple encodings (mpeg-4 and h264) and neither seems to work for them. disabiling hardware acceleration doesrn't work either.

they're using Firefox 64bit on Windows 7 64 bit if that helps

any ideas? here's the post with the videos: https://awoo.space/@official_art/99464495951748448

@vahnj oh is someone else having a problem with it too?

@Felthry are you? Or just asking bc of discord

@vahnj well I commented about having trouble with the videos on discord so yeah I am

@Felthry oh heck

@vahnj was that not clear from what I said on discord?

@Felthry well I left the apartment and haven't checked back in so I had no clue lol

@vahnj then uh who was I talking to o.O you specifically asked me if it was on mainline mastodon or just the glitch branch

@Felthry ohhhhhh that explains why I'm confused. This is a different problem it's about the video not playing, not a gif being uploaded as a movie

@vahnj well my problem is that a gif uploads as a movie that then refuses to play

@Felthry ohhhhhhhhh

so maybe there is something wrong with the base mastodon code

@vahnj @Felthry I think Felthry might have misrepresented the problem. We dont' actually know if the videos play fine or not, because it's too much effort to get them to play at all. So it's possible we have the problem mycroft does, and it's possible we don't.

@Rosemary @Felthry can you dm me an image that you've uploaded before that has the problem?
