The issue is that the original is Apple Quicktime:

$ file frostr-demo-3.mp4
frostr-demo-3.mp4: ISO Media, Apple QuickTime movie, Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)

The one you uploaded and that works on my machine is "regular MP4":

$ file 84345
84345: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]

So apparently video/mp4 != video/mp4.

Yeez, I hate Apple so much. But I see that you have already been working on a solution for this, so there is at least light at the end of the tunnel!

Ahhh it's also the reason why we check for video/QuickTime on uploads. An mp4 can contain a mov and a mov can contain an mp4.

That PR was made specifically for these scenarios, streamlining video uploads while also lowering traffic usage. It needs serious work to make it production ready but it would be great!

Mhh, but the video in the root item wasn’t uploaded but is a link to Apple QuickTime.

I think the PR would only work for uploads, right?

Yes sorry, I wasn’t talking about the original vid ^^ I got confused by reading my own message, too lol

edit: we really can’t do something on linked videos, I think that that would be doing too much

Maybe we can detect it on link paste and tell them that their video will only work on iShit devices lol
