Describe the bug
Large video upload works after latest release but logs show errors. Video also does not play in web interface but has thumbnail.

I guess that video is in the queue to be converted to MP4 (iOS video is MOV and cannot be played on the browser T_T) and it wasn't converted yet when you were trying to play it. Can you check again?

If you uploaded the video a while back and the player on the web cannot play it, do you have a PostgreSQL client to access the database to check for further troubleshooting?

You're right, it does like it loads and plays back fine once it's been processed through the mp4 converter.
