Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure using the reported Xiaomi 23030RAC7Y running Android 34, with the app and server versions listed in the diagnosis data. Trace the Android app's media playback entry point to determine why the WebM video shows controls but does not play; done means the reported video plays successfully.
