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
