That’s a rhetorical question, in case there’s any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.

    It could be that it’s playing in a codec that your mobile browser doesn’t support like av1 or something. Not sure though, is this happening with every video?

      Surely it would fall back to mp4? Are some videos AV1/VP9 only?

          They have always hosted AVC videos. They have to for old/incompatible devices, because literally any toaster and software on earth will play it.

          But sometimes they are funny about what gets encoded to what, and of course they will always try to default to av1/vp9 and opus.
