Local videos do not play properly

Open ashiagr opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Expected behavior

Videos stored locally on the device should play properly.

Actual behavior

Videos stored locally on the device do not play properly. The thumbnails do not load on the device and long-pressing the video doesn't play it, just opens a view of what appears to be the first frame.

See https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/pull/15285#pullrequestreview-748080406 and https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/pull/15285#issuecomment-914930637

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Launch app and go to My Site -> Post
  2. Add a Video block
  3. Select “Choose from device” and long press a thumbnail on the following screen
  4. Notice the actual vs expected behavior.
Tested on [Pixel5], Android [11], WPAndroid [18.2-rc-2]

The issue exists in 18.2-rc-2 but not in 16.3. Need to investigate what and when things got changed.
