Videos won't play on Twitter

Reported by janiz1...@gmail.com, Oct 12

Issue description

Device name: Samsung Galaxy No+e 9

From "Settings > About Chrome"
Application version:70.0.3538.57
Operating system: Android 8.1.0

URLs (if applicable): https://twitter.com/i/status/1050559813342519296 

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Click on Message
(2) Press play
(3)

Expected result: Video should play.


Actual result: Error message: "We cannot play the video in this browser. Please try a different web browser."

This has been happening for a while, but usually the message goes away if you try more than once, but it isn't working at all now. I even cleared cache and cookies. The website works on my non-beta version of Chrome. Gifs have the same problem.

Able to reproduce this issue on chrome version #70.0.3538.57 using Pixel 2 XL/Android 9. But issue is seen only 1 out of 5 times. Issue is not observed on latest stable, dev and beta -- tested 4-6 times.

Hence marking this issue as Untriaged for further help in triaging from dev team.

Thanks!

I just ran into this on my linux desktop. I can reproduce this reliably with a local chromium build from ToT as well as an archived binary from https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Linux_x64%2F587811%2Fchrome-linux.zip?generation=1535668921668411&alt=media.

Oddly enough, the google-chrome installation on my system is at 70.0.3538.77 and can play videos just fine.

Bumping to P1 and marking available.
