Web Interface wants me to download .mp4 video from streamable.com (ani.social)

When I'm viewing community https://ani.social/c/[email protected] on my desktop browser, Firefox on Windows, with personal setting "Auto Expand Media" turned on, one particular post is asking me to download an .mp4 video from streamable.com: https://ani.social/post/1923262

After declining the download, the space for the expanded media is just blank.

This doesn't happen when viewing the same /c on .ml https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

On .ml, I just get a screenshot of the video.

It's just that one post.

On other earlier and later posts of links to streamable.com videos in the same /c, I just get a screenshot.

Maybe some kind of corrupted data as that particular post was transferring over?

That is weird. On .ml and .world, clicking the thumbnail opens the streamable link in a new tab for me, but on ani.social and sopuli.xyz, the video downloads.

Tested on Firefox and Chromium on Debian so it might not be a browser issue. Same behavior with Chromium on Windows so it's not an OS thing. I don't know what's causing it to be honest.

Also, the embedded video is a catbox link.
