The offending file

SUMMARY
I have a file that can't be read, even though it's fine (see attached chess.mp4).
It's a normal MP4 file, encoded with libx264 with ffmpeg 7.1. Other programs such as VLC, Discord, and Firefox can read it just fine.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to open the file with Haruna

OBSERVED RESULT
Error appears: "Could not play: chess.mp4"
And the next file in the folder is opened instead.

EXPECTED RESULT
chess.mp4 plays

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Try to open it after disabling the "Restore playback position" setting.

I never enabled that option.

Be specific, is it on or off?
Try renaming or moving the file, try the flatpak.

I can play the file without issue.

If it was never turned on, that would make it off.

The flatpak does read it fine. Could I be missing a dependency or something?
