Video does not play across iOS, iPadOS and Mac

What happened? (Please give us a brief description of what happened.)

I have been unable to play video since moving to Sharkey in November. I have searched for the issue, but can’t find it and do not want this to be lost. Video plays in other *keys like Firefish and Catodon (the video in this link works fine on Catodon but not on Sharkey https://catodon.social/notes/9q8u16u0rjsh0ws6) , so I don’t really know what the issue is. I would really like to be able to view videos again some day.

What did you expect to happen? (Please give us a brief description of what you expected to happen.)

I expected the video to play, but it just hangs at the player with a black rectangle and does not play anything.

Not sure…it happens across devices.
