This is what I get on the second play.
Without fail, my experience is:
Play video. Usually works.
Try to replay video. It stops at 4 seconds.
Refresh browser. Now the video is half the size? But it now plays, though tiny.
I don't know who wrote Reddit's video player, but it's obvious they are a masochist. That they still haven't fixed it speaks volumes of their eng org to an end user like myself.
