I've recognize the issue as well and for further elaboration I added some screen-dumps (from the dev cloudflare deployment [1]). For the movie "Caminandes: Gran Dillama" one can see:
The movie being a mp4 file:

@gnattu commented on GitHub (Jun 27, 2025):
If it is an old video replace all metadata might "fix" this, but this is not that problematic because technically mp4 is a more standardized subset of the mov with stricter rules for compatibility, and ffmpeg treats them as a same container, and we even wrote both mov and mp4 into the database in earlier versions as the probe result returns both. In recent versions we only write mp4 to db but it is still very possible that ffmpeg detect a specific video as mov.
