Open TheBKBurger opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Device: iPhone 8

setup a multi (https://nitter.net/SportsCenter,FoxSportsDet,freepsports,espn) and anytime a GIF is posted, it does not play (there is no play button or proper progress bar)

Tried on Firefox and Safari for iOS 3411DE21-624B-4018-ACDB-F5DD9F28C457

Is this still a problem? Does it happen with twitter's web client?

@zedeus Hi. I'm experiencing the same issue on iOS 13.5.1. Both GIFs and videos won't play, and it behaves like OP image. If I try to play them on official Twitter client it works perfectly.

Also happening in iOS 14.3

Does "official Twitter client" mean the app or their website? If they do some special thing in the app, but it doesn't work with their web client, I'll just close this as wontfix.

GIFs play on both the Twitter app and website. I compared what happens on Twitter website vs Nitter below. (HLS streams, however, work flawlessly on Nitter.)

Personally, I can't recall the last time I had an issue with GIFs on Nitter on iOS. This used to be an issue, but hasn't been for me for a while. Currently I'm on iOS 15.6 (dev beta)
