Yeah same, i started to notice it today that some video just won't play. Very odd.

Edit: does this one works for you?

It works only when on the main page but it won't work if i go into the post.

None of these work for me. I don't think I've seen a direct link to webm or mp4 that worked for me since yesterday.

v 1.0.32 (36), Android 16, One UI 8.5

This one doesn't work for me either. When I tap the image it focuses on the image, but no video controls appear. Like I'm still just looking at a blown-up version of the thumbnail/card version.
