Video issue on iOS

I’m not sure where the issue is so I’m starting here. I was sent a link to lemy.lol from someone who was able to watch it. When I try to open it I just get a failed to load media error. I downloaded the video and was able to play it. The other person is using Android.

I’m don’t think it is specifically a voyager issue since it happened in browser too but I’m hoping someone here might know what to do.

I saw these issues before. Its probably about video encoding. I need to tweak media settings.

Though I can play the video in Mlem.

I’ll try that one and see if it works. I was able to download and play it for what that is worth.

Do you have an ad blocker? I had the same issue and turned it off then all the media worked again.

Just the browser I use. But I tried in base safari as well.

Yeah, if it happens in the browser too then its an encoding issue and iOS is unhappy.

Should probably work on Voyager for Android though

That’s kind of what I assumed but I hoped there was an obvious fix I was missing.
