Description

Every time I try to publish an MP4 file to bsky or x, I get a publishing error. The post simply isn't created.
However, there is no such problem with mastodon.

I tried using a GIF instead of an MP4 file, but that didn't work either. Instead of an animation, the post published a static image.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the report. Reproduce MP4 and GIF publishing to X and Bluesky, compare with Mastodon, then trace the affected media-publishing path; done means MP4 posts are created and GIFs remain animated on both services.
