Hello!

I’m trying to share some videos I generated using VideoIO.jl on WhatsApp. Although the videos work well on WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp iOS, I’m encountering some strange issues when I try to play them on my Android phone.

For instance, when I run the minimal working example from the VideoIO.jl documentation, which generates a grayscale random video, I see a green-scale video instead of a grayscale one. I’ve attached a screenshot of the issue below.

The videos I’m actually interested have an RGB{N0f8} color type. While I can see the correct thumbnail for these videos, I only get a black screen when I try to play them. I’ve confirmed that these issues also occur on another Android phone.

Is there a way to get these videos to work properly on WhatsApp for Android? I’d appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to resolve these issues.
