Boost fails to open .mp4 for me. When I browse “All” there usually is some mp4 content, especially from … well … nsfw instances. Theese almost always fail and I see just black screen. Firefox on mobile opens it without a problem and so does Sync For Lemmy. Do you have this issue or is it just me? F.e. can you open this link?

I see this:

I don’t know if this is caused by instance or by Boost but as I said, Sync doesn’t have this problem. And I like Boost more

    That file looks like it’s barely playable in general.

    FFmpeg and MPV can’t play it at all:

    VLC seems to be able to, but it complains that it’s not proper:

[00007ea2f413f5c0] mp4 stream error: no moov before mdat and the stream is not seekable

    Some players are more generous in what they tolerate but the file is undoubtedly mildly corrupted.

    Lemmy should not let people upload corrupted files in the first place.
