Everyone has had that experience as a child where your friends loudly call you to go out for a walk, but your mum says “He won’t go out, he has homework to do!”.
I only noticed after your comment that the crumbs almost got in the dog’s eye 😅
Thanks for the screenshot. I don’t have a working laptop right now to check how Lemmy works on PC. I didn’t realise that the display of media in the mobile and desktop version could be different. Probably because some people don’t use the mobile version there is a misunderstanding and they don’t understand what we are talking about.
However, the problem with displaying videos in the mobile version has been around for a long time. Also, after clicking on the dark square that is displayed instead of the preview, you are prompted to open the video in a new tab as if you were opening another site.
YouTube previews are displayed normally. I suppose this problem occurs only with direct links, example www.site.com/827474/mycats.mp4
As you saw in the screenshots, for the test I used direct links to videos uploaded to reddit and the x0.at service.
I did the test in two different browsers and in two different instances. I’ve also read in the comments under various video posts that other people are also discovering this problem.
If you enable the “PC version” setting in your mobile browser, it looks like this

Just a black square.
Are you serious?
This is what it looks like in Jerboa

Here’s what the video display looks like on web instances.

I would like to add that we are talking primarily about the ability to insert a direct link with a video located on a third-party service. To do this, you need to display previews/thumbnails, which are not available now.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think it will require a lot of additional resources.
Users can save videos to their cloud services, such as gdrive, and insert a direct link to the video when creating a post.
I don’t think that displaying previews of videos hosted on third-party services will take more resources than previews of gif images.
Are you sure this is a new application?
What about the simplest and most understandable application for beginners, this is the PWA app Pinafore.
For those who have used third-party applications for Reddit, such as Infinity and Boost, Pinafore will be quite comfortable.
The last activity on the page was many months ago.
On their website page 404
And where can I find the compiled installation files?
This is cool. This is the first time I have heard about such projects.
Will there be compacted earth on top of the tunnel so animals can walk?
I think that the overpass needs more powerful supports
How? There is no pop-up window with options. I think the call to the system file manager is written into the code of some applications.
The answer to your question. There are news channels that are only on social networks. Or bloggers who publish insider information about new equipment. As far as I know, you can’t do without scraping on the server if you want to receive news from social networks.
Except for off-the-shelf solutions like Nitter instants.
Unfortunately the display of content in different RSS readers is different.
I understand that RSS is for displaying text and photo information, but the lack of video and audio playback in various app is disappointing.
In addition, it is often necessary to configure the server part to scan commercial sites. This is something that beginners cannot handle.
Can’t it be used as a replacement for the infrared port (if the phone doesn’t have one)?
