ObjectStorage in Linode cannot be played in iOS16Safari
We have a video file in Linode's ObjectStorage.
On our website we tried to play this video with the video tag but iOS16Safari would not play it.
We placed the same video file in AWS S3 and checked it, and it can be played without any problem.
Does Linode require any special settings?
Thank you.

When you upload a file to Object Storage, you want to make sure that your Access Control Lists are properly defined. It's possible that in this case your ACL for this video was set to private instead of public.
Additionally, you want to ensure that the video is in .mp4 format for best results. Other formats (.mov for example) can cause some potentially unwanted results such as autoplay.
