Yep, not working in this post… I sent a pm to the community mod. Glad you are here, you may be able to help.
In most posts it plays. Not in this one.
When uploading the mp4 I get this error SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1of the JSON data
If you download the video https://files.catbox.moe/gq81xb.mp4 it will play fine, but not in the browser. Checked on FF & Chrome.
But open this community on the phone in any lemmy app and all the videos play.
Could be a video encoding issue. Am gonna download a few videos from other posts and compare their ffprobe output to the one I grabbed from tiktok for this post.
Looks like the lemmy instance does not like playing hevc videos , basically the thing that tiktok gives… gotta reencode.,
Original video that was not working FFPROBE output Stream#0:0[0x1](und): Video: hevc (Main) (hvc1 / 0x31637668), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 720x1280, 739kb/s, SAR1:1DAR9:16, 30fps, 30tbr, 15360tbn (default)
Same video reencoded uploaded to this post https://lemmynsfw.com/post/1491306
FFPROBE output Stream#0:0[0x1](und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(progressive), 720x1280[SAR 1:1 DAR 9:16], 2705kb/s, 30fps, 30tbr, 15360tbn (default)
Joining and Re-encoding the video(s) to H264. Will amend original post when encode finishes and delete the other test post at that time. Thank you all for helping debug this.
Are the videos not working for anyone else? I just get music
