That arrow shows when the video fails to load for any reason. That particular bug is when the video is working then stops working.

There are other reasons:

- no accept-range header

- video is encoded in a pixel format, container format, or codec that iOS doesn’t like

Most common is these two. They aren’t really a bug, they are a nostrability issue

Video plays on Primal 👀

We’re just using the default video player 🤷‍♂️ maybe there are other settings we have to tune
