Same, on iOS. These videos just don't play reliably, forcing me to do a weird dance between the homepage, comments page, and pulling to refresh to try to get the video unstuck/playing. Switching between these views has a 50/50 shot of getting the video to start playing.
Even if you can't fix the videos, at least give us a clear "Reload Video" button or something like that, so that we can retry loading if we think it's failed.
This is my #1 complaint with mobile right now.

I support this, it's had to moderate when the posts don't load

Most v.reddiy videos wont load past a second or two for me. Refreshing is just a random chance to get it to work. Rarely ends up working though.

Last I checked, the v.reddit domain was only allowing main reddit domain through cors
Which is hilarious but sad. Trying to force everyone off old.reddit or are wildly incompetent

Having no audio sucks too. It usually cuts out near the end.

And on desktop the video always reloads 2-3 times **every damn time** being not only obnoxious but downgrading resolution in the process

They have a new "Powerups" thing where you can buy a powerup to stream better quality video. One sub I use has started asking people to buy powerups for the subreddit so the video is usable.

Sometimes I can play a video once and it will not play again unless I click on a couple of other posts and leave them, then come back.
