Just checked, the file is there, and it plays on my Mac desktop, but doesn’t play on my Damus or even my mobile browsers?! Never seen the issue, but it is not Damus or nostr.build related.. That I can’t stream on my Chrome mobile browser tells me there is another compatibility issue.
It is 269MB, maybe a size thing? I will research more but is related to browsers, not Damus or nostr.build..
Nice video!!
Are we talking about the original Timelapse video? If so, I can play it in Damus without issues on a 14 pro on latest TestFlight 🤷♂️
It freezes a bit as I play it (buffering) but it starts normally…
Yeah, the video top of this thread.. You were able to play in Damus? Let me clear catch and restart..
Yessir
That is so weird, must have something to do with cache, memory, video size? We are not seeing anything in preview, I can’t even play it on a mobile browser…
It looks like a ProRes file. I download it and cannot playback on standard iPad. Not familiar with the codec info displayed in metadata. Do not have my computer available to go dig. #[5] is there reencoding happening on upload out of curiosity? Or is this the file as uploaded by user?
I think you got it. It is a different video format than the norm, ProRes. Not all .movs are the same..
This is ‘as uploaded’ by the user, no compression or format change for videos, especially in their personal account.
Ok. Confirmed it is a ProRes issue by trying to open it in iMovie (🤣). Some newer Apple iOS devices can decode, but not legacy hardware. Best to export the movie to a distribution friendly codec (mp4) and reupload.
14 pro wins again
Apple does not mess around with their silicon division.
Great detective work all, and good to know for future potential issues. Glad it is an Apple format issue..
I’m on a 12, does that mean I need to upgrade already?!? Is it legacy hardware.. Apple!!.. 🤦♂️
ProRes was mainly created for the video post-production industry, then adopted in production. Have stopped following the development, but I remember seeing something about using it for distribution as well. The compatibility must come down to the solutions they can build straight into the chip.
