Souce Error with every video on every instance. Video and Audio does not play.

Steps to reproduce

I open a video, and the video does not load or play. (Title, viewcount, upload date, recommendations with thumbnails load fine). I switch to audio and am met with "Source Error" toaster message. Switching instances results in same behavior.

Expected behavior

Video should play when clicked on. The video's audio should play when I click on audio.

Actual behavior

Video does not load, and does not play. Audio does not load, and does not play.

This is not an instance problem. Switch from DASH to HLS as there are problems with DASH and Piped currently.
Settings -> Audio and video -> Quality -> Use HLS

Enabling this, then switching instances solved video! Switching to audio still leads to "source error" toaster message however. Do not know if this is related to HLS.

Yes. The audio player did not respect the Use HLS setting and always used DASH. This issue was resolved in #5862. You can expect it to be resolved in the next release or try the nightly builds.
