It works fine for me, do other videos on BA play on your device?

It plays on chrome, on edge, I get: This video cannot be rendered because your browser does not support the codec.

Interesting, do any other videos on BA have this problem? Also, why are you using Edge?

Same here. In Firefox (Win11) it doesn’t work. Chrome is fine. Edge doesn’t work… I can’t test that right now, but I think Firefox was fine on Linux.
Does the video in the original entry post work for you? (It doesn’t for me.)

In the entry page, I get a preview, and an error message. In the voting thread, I get a black rectangle. The video “plays”, but nothing is shown or heard.

I look forward to this week’s challege!
Many cool entries as usual! Cyberpunk is a cool theme. I made another cyberpunk inspired render long time ago and I remember spending a lot of time with all the details. Same thing this time. Which makes me super-impressed when looking at the game Cyberpunk 2077. How can they render all that in real time? Amazing times.
