[Bug] Media playback aborted due to corruption or browser with unsupported features

[yeranya]

Describe the bug
When navigating to the video with the video ID of yPoGXLKz7TU, the player loads successfully, but then when trying to play it displays the message The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure preferred video quality is set to HD720 (it will fail to play regardless, but for me the error message itself only appears with this being set to HD720)
2. Navigate to the video with the ID yPoGXLKz7TU

Screenshots

Additional context
Browser: Firefox Release 130.0.1 for x86_64 Linux
Operating System: Artix Linux w/ kernel 6.6.52-1-lts

To me, it doesn't look like that issue you linked is what is causing this. The error I get is different, and every other video plays perfectly fine; it also looks to appear regardless of what instance I try (assuming the instance is working at that time; many haven't been, so my sample size was a bit small). I'm not exactly familiar with this software though, so apologies if I am mistaken.

please try in a local invidious instance

I set up an Invidious instance on my home server, and it is having this issue too; I checked, and any other video will play fine. When navigating to the video, this appeared in the logfile on the server:
