Hello,

Voyager iOS shows a blank comment while mobile Safari displays this:

Is anybody able to view these video comments on mobile?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Per pict-rs Matrix:

Worth trying a configuration change? VP9 to VP8, if their hypothesis is correct.

    I am on Voyager Android and the video in the comment plays fine for me.

      I’m on Voyager iOS and I can’t see it - could be a container issue as well.

    I’m on iOS Safari, unable to play it. What’s the markdown syntax that’s rendering them?

      Good question!

      Likely ![](video-file-path.mp4)

      Testing ![](https://files.catbox.moe/lum3fw.mp4):

      Edit: the above embedded MP4 silently autoplays, gif style, in Apollo iOS. On mobile web, it renders properly.

        Works on my side

    iOS is picky with video files. It’s malformed video encoding.

      I’ve seen about five Lemmy.world comments with embedded videos and none have played on iOS. Any solutions you can think of?

        Yeah, either they need to be encoded correctly for uploading or Lemmy pictrs needs to encode them properly for web.
