Seeing as I don’t see others mention this, I’m gonna try and see if I’m alone in this.

Some pictures and videos won’t show for me. It’s not that the files have been removed, because I can download the files, but boost won’t show them. Sometimes the pictures will load fine, if I choose the original resolution.

I figured that it was because I had an elderly phone, a OnePlus running Android 13, but now that I’m on Motorola running Android 15 I guess it has other reasons.

Anybody else have this issue?

Here’s an example of a video that won’t load it’s NSFW https://lemmynsfw.com/post/27180424 come to think of it, I guess most of the stuff that fails is NSFW

      I don’t think it’s DNS. I mean I can access the files, they just wont show in boost, which leads me to believe that it’s an app issue.

      Besides on my previous phone I used quad9 over TLS, and on my current phone I use whatever I get through DHCP. So even if I’m using quad9 as the primary DNS on my home WLAN’s DHCP (which I probably am), I still use my ISP’s DNS while on 5G, and the problem persists there as well.

      It’s definitely not DNS. I have the same issue as OP and what I’ve found is that not only can I hit the download button in Boost to download the file and open it locally with no issues, but I can open the post in my phone’s browser and it will display the media just fine there. I suspect it’s something to do with the particular format the media is saved in. I’ve seen this with both video and pictures.
