I'm getting the error message "No video with supported format and MIME type found" with mp3 files at https://www.gatherthepeople.org/test/styled-7/page-3/ when using Firefox 123.0 on my M1 (ARM) iMac running OS 14.3.1; when using Firefox 123.0 on my M1 (ARM) MacBook Air running OS 14.3.1; when using Firefox 123.0 on Win 11;and when using Firefox 115.8 on my Intel MacBook Pro running OS 10.14.6.

The same mp3 files (https://www.gatherthepeople.org/test/styled-7/page-3) play without any problem with Chrome and Safari on the Mac and with Edge on Win 11 .

Thanks

You can ignore the previous reply as this looks AI generated and is very outdated mostly for Windows.

I can replicate this issue and the file won't play for me as well with an error message in the Web Console.

Hmm, Firefox tries to play the file using a video tag and that fails. Forcing an audio tag via a data URI works. Saving the file and changing the file extension to .mp3 works as well.
