Description
I am using the latest Riot versions on both platforms:
- iOS 12.1.4 and version 0.8.3
- Android 8.1.0 and version 0.8.25
I can play a video sent from iOS to Android.
But I cannot play a video sent from Android to iOS within the app itself ("Impossible to open" error message).
However I can save the video, and play it with the VLC app or send it from Riot web instead, and then I can play it within the iOS app.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android-to-iOS video playback failure using the reported Riot versions and compare it with an iOS-to-Android video and a video sent from Riot web. Check where the iOS app reports “Impossible to open.” Done means Android-sent videos play in the iOS app while the existing working cases remain unaffected.
