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
You must log in or register to comment.
Same thing, even if I hit the HD button in the top right. If I tap the link button in the toolbar it opens in the webview just fine.
Boost has a lot of these bugs with video. It works on Cards 2.0 but craps out when you click or when you use swipe
It’s not a fun browsing experience. I still support Boost but on video heavy Lemmy communities it a pain.
Another issue is video uploads go to Imgur which is no good for anything remotely nsfw. It would be good if video uploads can go somewhere else.
That being said the upload, comment and view options are far superior to other apps + I really like boost so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That file looks like it’s barely playable in general.
FFmpeg and MPV can’t play it at all:

Lemmy should not let people upload corrupted files in the first place.
I’ve had it happens but it usually sorts itself out eventually
Yup, same here. Sometimes, the HD button does the trick, but mostly it’s fucked.
problem for me also
