Majority of videos broken on iOS

Open KingGamingYT opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Surprised to see no issue about this. For a few months now videos in embeds SPECIFICALLY on Apple devices will sit on 0:00/0:00 infinitely, with very few exceptions. Could this be due to the previous HEVC video serving Twitter began to do?

That tweet you linked to specifically uses AVC1 so it doesn't seem to be a HEVC related issue image image

Not quite sure what could be causing this case, but I do know Discord embeds on iOS have several issues (not including this one)

I think I narrowed down the issue. It'll be a hacky fix most likely

Can you check if it's fixed now? Old embeds will still have the problem unfortunately but I'm seeing new ones start to work. I was originally going to do a much more complicated fix but I think I found a simpler way, hopefully

Seems to work! Tested with the same post (re-sent) and a new one as well.

Update: It looks like it's still broken, but maybe only on quote tweets? Here's an example: https://vxtwitter.com/Not_Prasar/status/1795007948839698882?s=19 image

But here's a quote tweet that DOES work: https://vxtwitter.com/elijahyar21/status/1795121266510225696

@dylanpdx still broken for any embed on iOS for me. Any ideas?

@dylanpdx still broken for any embed on iOS for me. Any ideas?

I can't replicate this on iOS, both videos linked above seem to be playing for me. Do you have a specific twitter link I can look at? Also worth noting that Discord has been making quite a few bugfixes on their iOS app recently so it might just be a matter of checking if you're on the latest version. My app version says 238.0

This was the one I was testing with.

I have a fix for this coming soon

dylanpdx avatar Jul 19 '24 17:07 dylanpdx

This should be hopefully fixed now. Please let me know if there's any Tweets that still don't play

dylanpdx avatar Jul 20 '24 12:07 dylanpdx

Fixed! Brilliant! Thank you!
