Android version sometimes plays embedded locally stored video... sometimes doesn't

I see weird unexpected behaviour on the android version I am still attempting to figure out if it is a codec issue vs something inside obsidian. But I will have a video in a note sometimes be able to play fine… other times it is broken.

I sometimes can refresh the note (close it and open it again) and it’s fine but this doesn’t always work… now I have my videos encoded in 480p mp4 x265 and I will be running a test to see if other formats work 100% of the time, or don’t work at all… which would be better than sometimes yes sometimes no… this is on both Android 13 & 14 and using Obsidian 1.6.5 (147). Has anyone else experienced this sort of behaviour and is it a codec thing like I expect and not really obsidian, or actually an issue with Obsidian on Android. Please note I have no issues with video embeds on windows… just on Android. Thanks.

Yes it can be a codec issue.
