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.

It's no better on desktop. Any vreddit video has an 80% chance to not load once you click into the thread, and if it does it then has a 50% chance of being absolute dogshit quality. Honestly not sure if that last point is a fault with reddit or if people have decided that it's cool to upload 240p videos all of a sudden.

Apollo actually has managed to make v.Reddit work most of the time in my experience

For me, the video will play on a page like my front page, or the subreddit's front page, but won't play if I have the actual comment section open. So fucking annoying.
