bug description

Using a Google Pixel 7A, attempting to download videos on the main instance causes me to get a video that does work, but has a messed up video length in some places, like it will say 2 seconds or something in my gallery app and the bar will reach the end before the video finishes despite the video continuing to play, and discord will refuse to upload them saying that i cannot upload an empty file.

reproduction steps

  1. Procure a Google Pixel 7a (or any other mobile device, unsure if this is device specific or just mobile specific)
  2. Attempt to download a video from any valid service
  3. Observe weird behavior with the downloaded video like described before

screenshots

downloading video off mobile website
Image
video length being inaccurate when viewed in some apps (this video is 10-11 seconds depending on how its rounded)
Image
failure to upload video even though it plays just fine in my gallery

(any)

platform information

Google Pixel 7a

thanks that does help but maybe this should be done automatically on mobile? like i said its only a mobile issue for me, using the same links on the desktop version of the website nets me a video that works right off the bat with no issues
