I tried to open an .mkv video which did not load at all in the end, probably a separate issue.. but it might help during testing this issue here to try and open an .mkv video

Research direction

Start by reproducing the loading state in the Nextcloud Viewer with a video, including the .mkv example mentioned in the issue. Inspect the loading-state UI and identify the elements shown in the attached image. Done means the loading UI elements remain visibly separate without overlap; the .mkv loading failure may be a separate issue.
