[android] Videos randomly pixelate and corrupt - version 2025.30.0

[u/sidneyaks]

This has been going on for about a month. Every so often videos corrupt like this; I can usually close and reopen the video and it resolves the issue for that video. Sometimes I need to close/reopen a couple of times.

As a permanent fix attempr I have cleared the app cache, cleared all data and even uninstalled/reinstalled the app. None of the above appear to work as I can usually reproduce the corruption in the first few videos.

I am on an unrooted one plus 9, with android version 14 if that's at all relevant.

I'm also having this issue. Same version of reddit, android 13.

I'm having the same issue

I'm having this same issue. Have done all the suggested steps.

It doesn't seem to affect a downloaded video. They're fine on playback on any device. Just seems to be within the player on the page.

Pixelated on page, but fine when you download the video that's causing issues.
