The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

[ghtesting2020]

When I am watching a video at random times it will stop and the message "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." other times that message appears on certain videos immediately. I cannot pin down why, there are no network issues on my end and the format not supported does not make sense to me.

Example clip that immediately displays that message: https://inv.vern.cc/watch?v=7ury3Wmg9PA which is from this search https://inv.vern.cc/search?q=crazy+frog the first 7-8 work fine and then that one does not. What makes that one special?

I am on Firefox flatpak

I have dash enabled across my instance and get this message unless I select HD720

same on this video on arch linux firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit)

Edit:
it plays though fine on protokolla, not sure if it's related to this issue referring to the ipv6-rotator

still, as of today, yewtu.be is a no go for this video
