I'm on Boost, and I see it.
Same here
I saw just the first frame. Maybe there's some update that hasn't rolled out to me yet.
edit: I don't see an update in my play store and it says the last update was released on 30th of november. I wonder what's going on that this post behaves so inconsistently
I'm on the beta, so maybe that's it?
Edit: version 1.0.4 (7)
Probably haha
Nor, apparently, the web interface.
the web interface I get here on lemmy.world seems to handle it just fine
Interesting. Failed on midwest.social, but does work if I open it on lemy.lol (original location).
Thanks for the data point!
lemy.lol is the instance of the user, this community is hosted on lemmy.world. And I would say in this context, the original location is the location of the community. or are videos hosted on the users instance for some reason?
I have no idea.
Interestingly, opening this thread on lemmy.world also does not work.
Same results with Chrome and Opera.
Yeah media says on the original instance it got posted on, it's just the URL that gets passed around instances.
Click the hd button. Fixed it for me
For me it loaded something but then just showed a black screen
What is happening here? Is it imitating the humans?

What's crazy is that this was recorded in the first place. Like Kitty was like, ok go
Here's a direct link, if your client doesn't supports videos: https://lemy.lol/pictrs/image/ae6d2999-2fb2-4df9-b3e5-4cbd25cfe628.mp4
Thank you! I was confused and stared at a still image for like 10 seconds.
that doesnt load for me on voyager on ios
edit: doesnt load in firefox either
Yeah videos doesn't work on Voyager, unfortunately.
other videos work fine though
They can be WEBM. The videos I upload are MP4. Can you confirm this @aeharding@lemmy.world?
Your codec/video container is malformed/ unsupported in iOS, it’s not just Voyager.
Interesting 🤔 I've cropped and removed audio with iMovie. Do you have more detailed information? So I can avoid it next time.
I don’t- but if you try to view the video in safari with Lemmy-ui) it also doesn’t work.
You could try running through Handbrake with web mode enabled.
Thanks, I will try other formats 👍
chunky fella
Lay off, he's working on it...:)
He is bulking
Reps for jesus.
EDIT
I guess we're not a fan of Dom at BroScienceLife?
Which client supports videos?
Sync
Currently using sync on Android.
Clicked on post link and nothing.
Am I broken?
For me it didn't seem to load at first, so I backed out and opened it again and it worked after a second. The same might work for you.
Voyager here, worked no problem.
Most clients I use. Default web UI, Photon, Mlem. I've seen people telling some other clients supports too.
Boost worked fine for me
It works for me in Liftoff
Works fine for me on Connect.
That gym lets people bring in small animals?
Frankly, I wouldn't be bothered.
The non zero chance of kitty getting smushed by a machine or dropped weight seems not worth the joy of cat company while working out. It looks like it might not be during business hours though.
Fake af
I just realised that I've never seen a video on Lemmy before. It's pretty cool finally seeing one.
