I'm actually baffled at how bad reddit's native video player is. For a core part of the browsing experience, it is truly an embarrassment. Here are the behaviors that I deal with on a regular basis: (i) On mobile, I simply cannot view a native reddit video in landscape. When I turn my phone to landscape, it plays ~3 seconds of the video and then pauses. I hit the play button to continue, and it plays ~3 seconds of the video then pauses. Repeat ad infinitum. To clarify, this is not a buffering issue, as the video always plays when I hit the play button again. (ii) On my mobile and laptop, their video buffering experiences holes in the buffer. It will be buffering, and after a certain point a gap is created between two buffered sections of video. When the video player reaches this gap, it is legitimately not buffered and stops playing. (iii) Moving forward with the previous scenario, once it reaches this hole in the buffered video and stops playing, the playback stalls. I can sit there for minutes and it will not continue. I have to drag the slider backwards a few seconds, which will restart the playback/buffering process and then it works fine.
