The Media Could Not Be Played
Every so often, Firefox fails to display a video. In this example, Firefox briefly displays what appears to be the first frame, then displays the message "The Media Could Not Be Played". I've tried with Troubleshoot Mode, and clearing history (cache, cookies, site settings, offline website data). How can I find out what's blocking? The example is a Twitter post on Wed 08/17/2022. I hope it is still there. https://twitter.com/i/status/1551522653705576449

I forgot: Firefox 103.0.2 (64-bit) Windows 7
It works for me. see screenshot Post a full browser screenshot showing the issue. Let me go boot into Win 7 and test.
It work for me in Win 7. see screenshot
Screenshot is below. Is there a way to upload a screen-capture video, to show the repeated brief displays before settling on the error message?
Does the following show anything?:
Troubleshoot mode Go to https://twitter.com/i/status/1551522653705576449 Browser console

None. No third party. Windows Defender is turned off, and refuses to start. Windows Firewall is On.
A modification of the video appears later in the page. Those work. (Those posts are from "HeadlinerClip Caption". They are difficult to find. They are much later in the page.) Here's the link again: https://twitter.com/i/status/1551522653705576449
