    You’re still luckier than me, the video doesn’t play for me at all, neither on lemmy, nor on the original website. Firefox tells me “No video with supported format and MIME type found”.

      Really? Extremely odd. Do you know what direct link host works fine for you? Always looking for new ones. I’m pretty close to just making my own.

          Curious if you’ve noticed the web address in specific video posts that’s have worked for you.

            I mean, everything else works, even other videos on the very same website. I’m now at work on my phone and it doesn’t work either! It’s as if this particular video was blocked in my country or something (which I find absurd but I have no other explanation if other people can play it).

      It’s an H264 MP4 with AAC audio, which is the most common cotainer codec combo.

      I am gonna guess you are on Linux (or Mac?) But it could be wrong. The issue is probably h264 as that has issues due the licensing. Firefox uses OpenH264 to play it as far as I am aware. So whatever it is, is something of your specific setup that probably doesn’t have the needed plugins/codecs installed/enabled.

        Nope, Windows 10, Firefox 119.0. No idea what’s happening. I even tried disabling uBlock for that website but that didn’t help. Other videos on that site do work, strangely.

        Edit: Actually, it doesn’t work in any other browser either, it only shows a static thumbnail without an error message in Chrome, Edge and Vivaldi. I would’ve assumed the video simply got deleted but if it works for other people then it must be something with my network?
