The bug

Motion playback entirely doesn't work for motion photos on-device only or on-device and remote.

The second part of the bug is that if you click on a photo in the gallery and then swipe to a motion photo and click play for motion playback, it will view the photo you started on. This applies to on-device only, on-device and remote, and remote only.

This seems to have been caused by #14608

Video of remote only (I used another app to delete the local copy):

Yep. One of the devs is already working on it. If you discovered some behavior with an edge case that I did not already cover in the post, please share it.

You're right, the issue impacts most live photos in practice.

So the first bug was fixed but the second bug (likely created by this new video player as well, but I have not downgraded to check) was not:

If you want me to split this into a separate issue rather than having this one reopened, I can do that.
