Bad UX that happens sometimes. The video player is provided by Mux, a media streaming company Futureporn uses for CDN 1. Their player is primarily meant for playing videos from Mux, but I shoehorned the player into playing videos via URL (IPFS). The error message is misleading and doesn't really show what's actually happening. The problem is usually a temporary interruption in downloading packets via IPFS. Mux player doesn't handle this very well and displays the default message, "Source Not Supported."

Would be nice to look into the player and display a more fitting error message
