I've only noticed this in comments so far. Certain WEBP videos show me a play button, but will never play when I tap on them. I'm assuming this is probably an app issue, but could maybe still be an instance issue.

Here is one comment that has this issue: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/21301284

I'm on the latest version of summit on an S23 Ultra.

It works through that link but does not work when viewing the comment through my own instance:

So I guess it is an instance issue after all...

Should work now, feel free to drop me a message if you notice anything else not working :)

Seems to be mostly working now. The watery room now shows up for me so that's good. The original WEBP with the play button still behaves the same though. Understandable if it's something that requires individually fixing each and every video.

EDIT: Found a recent comment with the same issue of the pixelated play button:

Ohhh, I see what's happening @Bubs@lemmy.zip

This is the URL I actually get for the image on Lemmy.zip:

https://images.lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconvertico.com%2Fsamples%2Fwebp%2Fanimated-webp-3.webp

It appears to be trying to automatically convert the image with convertico.com, which fails because it's an animated webP, I guess?

The error I get returned is:

code	"validate-width"
msg	"Too wide"

...This seems like a very janky default.

Why does Lemmy.zip try to convert webps with convertico?

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Its not, the webp you embedded is from convertico.

Other instances may not use the image proxy and may be more permissive with the content they allow to be uploaded, for better or worse.

@Bubs@lemmy.zip ill take a look ASAP and see if I can figure out why the proxy is rejecting them

Yeah IDK what I was thinking.
