I recently made a video post using a link that I got from xcancel on a Twitter post. I can see the video when viewing from Lemmy, but when using PieFed, Voyager, and Blorp the video does not load.
The post I’m referring to:

Edit with working link:
https://piefed.social/c/starcitizen@lemmy.world/p/2034751/in-my-experience-there-s-no-such-thing-as-luck
Definitely useful to know.
On desktop (for me)
Both are showing a 403 Forbidden/Blocked GET request to the video URL source. However, I can see the video if I paste it directly into the URL for either browser.
I’m assuming there’s some sort of blocking going on between PieFed and Twitter/X since that video.twimg link likely leads back to the storage for Twitter/X files. Maybe it could also be an issue if someone is using a VPN to try to access the files through another site?
I’ve seen that exact message when the post is pulling media from a 3rd-party source, but I haven’t enabled it yet via my uMatrix extension. Similarly, you might need to play around with your ad-blocker.
Good to know! I tried disabling my ad-blocker entirely in my desktop/mobile browsers as well as any DNS ad-blocking. I’m still seeing this issue for the particular video in this post.
Dammit.
With Firefox on Android (even if asking for desktop version of site, then for good measure reload page) I get the same error that you did for LibreWolf, "No video with supported format and MIME type found.”
And I also get the same behavior for Chrome (on Android) as you described for Chromium on desktop.
I hope this helps a little.
