Yeah same, i started to notice it today that some video just won't play. Very odd.
Edit: does this one works for you?

It works only when on the main page but it won't work if i go into the post.
This one doesn't work for me either. When I tap the image it focuses on the image, but no video controls appear. Like I'm still just looking at a blown-up version of the thumbnail/card version.
Works for me. version 1.0.31, android 17
None of these work for me. I don't think I've seen a direct link to webm or mp4 that worked for me since yesterday.
v 1.0.32 (36), Android 16, One UI 8.5
If that is a video it does not play for me
I know I'm not helping, but I use boost on android, and both vids play...
You're providing a data point.
Ditto
Fwiw, these samples are working in Sync on Android, which hasn't seen updates in a long time, so at the very least I'd assume its not the actual video source
Been having this issue for a couple weeks now.
Got really bad in the last few days.
I am having the same problem on Voyager but all the ones I have seen that I remember have been posted by the same user:
sanitation@lemmy.today
On Blorp all vid. works fine
same issue here
I use connect on android and this video auto plays fine for me. Hope that helps a smidgen.
I personally have problems with videos even in browser - cannot unmute them. Does anyone else has this problem?
I've run into this, but I'm never sure if the video just doesn't have audio data or something...
