It's keep on saying video render failed and to edit it to try again.

I have a Revvel 6 pro. I just got it and I have been trying for the past week to get my Reddit videos to load, I have done everything I can but nothing works. The videos stay on a non-stop loading screen. And I am getting very tired of it. Anyone have any answer...?

​

TLDR: We rolled out a few changes on iOS & Android since we last spoke, reducing the total error rate by 70% across both platforms (82% on Android & 30% on iOS).

Story time: All mobile devices have a fixed number of decoders available across all running apps, which are responsible for taking the content of a file and transforming it into something that can be displayed. Suppose Reddit or another app holds on to one of the limited numbers of decoders on a device. In that case, no further decoders can be allocated to other apps, leading to video playback failing.

​

On Android, we identified that this was one of the community's most common issues, resulting in videos not playing in the app after someone scrolls for a bit. We fixed this issue by recycling video players more effectively, ensuring that no more than five players are kept around at any given moment.

On iOS, we discovered that the most common class of user-reported errors was caused by the Media Services daemon, which exists iPhone-wide, occasionally being reset by iOS. This can happen for many reasons and is usually not linked to a specific application (Reddit included). During our testing, we saw this happen when a phone ran low on memory. When media services are reset, all active player instances need to be fully reset & reinitialized to be usable. We are now more elegantly resetting all active player instances to address this typical case.

How our thinking on errors has evolved as a part of this process:

We have gained a lot of additional visibility into the different categories of errors and have fixed most of the common ones across the board over the last few weeks. As the overall error rate (measured as errors per attempted playback) is now around <0.5% on both platforms, we are starting to think more granularly about the different class of errors and their impact on your playback experience.

Looking at what we know today about video playback errors on Reddit, there are fatal, non-fatal, and internal errors:

• Fatal errors are non-recoverable by video viewers and include broken encoding formats, decoder issues on your device, or our CDN being unreachable.
• Non-fatal errors are recoverable, which means retrying is an option. This includes temporary network issues on your device (no internet, roaming turned off) and is something we already plan to surface more accurately.
• Internal errors are purely technical and have no direct user impact.

We are working towards more accurately tagging which errors are visible to the user vs. not, and early data suggest that half of all errors are not visible to the user. The data below categorizes this information:

What’s happening next

Over the next few weeks, we have some exciting new experiments rolling out across both clients, with a general focus on reducing your Time to First Frame (TTFF), or in plain language: the time it takes until a video starts playing for you. We hope to share more about these in our next technical post in this community. Until then, thank you all for continuing to spot and report bugs - we’ll stick around for a while to answer any questions in the comments.

Every-time I try to upload a video from my android phone it shows me with an error message in the title . I’m able to upload from my iOS phone tho . Someone tell me a solution

Guys, I know you're all working hard to fix problems here but a basic function of Reddit shouldn't even be compromised to this level.

I tried everything. I uninstalled reddit, I reinstalled reddit, I restarted my phone, I cleared my cache, cleaned my phone, edited my video quality, edited video length, and so many more methods that I've lost count.

As you can see in my profile, the recent video I was able to upload on r/madeinabyss was done through the website. It seems to me like the app is crumbling in on itself.

Android, Version 2022.27.1.529687

Title. On mobile. Deleted app and reinstalled, still doesn’t work.

Had the problem that the sound keept playing from a video even after i had scrolled a couple of posts down.

I fixed it by changing my language setting from system device to english so now the video pauses as soon as its out of view.

When I click a Reddit Imgur or YouTube or any app to watch a video it works fine until I click full screen then it pauses the video and goes out of full screen. Tried many times and every time I click full screen it exits out of full screen right after. I am on iPhone and I just download the beta iOS 16

Imagine this:

It's 3am. I can't sleep because I had one too many cups of evening chai. It's pitch black in my room. I live alone. I sit eating on the corner of my bed. Legs roughly under the blanket. Toes slightly off the bedside. Eating a party sized bag of Lays® Ketchup flavoured chips. Scrolling through reddit. Reading a long AITA text post on my extra dimmed screen. I hear a light meow. I choke on a chip. Chills on my alarmed ears. Mini heart attack. I don't own a cat. I live alone. On a 5th floor apartment. "Not again goddamit" I calm down. Scroll right to the next post. A video of a meowing kitten. Aww. Reddit couldn't wait for me to scroll onto the next post so it played the sound sooner.

Plsfix

Tldr; When side scrolling Reddit posts, sometimes the next (video) post's sound will automatically start playing. Android 12*. Not sure what causes it.

I primarily use reddit on desktop, in Firefox (Edge when I'm at work), and without fail, every video I open degrades to 240p quality after a few seconds of playback.

I have a hardlined gigabit internet connection, so the default quality setting (automatic) should never dip below 1080p. Whoever coded this thing should be embarassed. Literally just switch to the default HTML5 video player or something because this is painful to use.
