Describe the bug
This may be a Firefox issue, but I'm not able to play any .MOV files from Nextcloud (25RC):

Photos Version: 1.7.1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. [In Firefox] navigate to: Nextcloud > Photos > Videos
2. Click on a MOV video
3. Wait for video to play
4. See error

Expected behavior
MOV files should play like any other video file.

Hi, it depends on the codec used for your mov file.
You can see the yellow warning on your screenshot, your browser cannot handle this file 🤷

These .mov files are just the video portion of iOS live photos. I guess I'll try to be patient and wait for #344 (The Nextcloud iOS app already supports Live Photos)

[skjnldsv]

There will never be anything we can do as long as your browser does not support decoding it unfortunately :/

Mov files seem to play on other websites like Photoprism, but perhaps there's some transcoding happening behind the scenes.

Move can contain multiple codecs. The issue is not about the mov format, but the codec used to record de video inside it :)

I don't think this is the case. The Memories plugin can readily play the exact same files. Can we reopen this and actually have some investigation as to why the playback fails for mov files?

Playback fails for all iOS generated videos, both live photos and regular videos
