Moonfin version

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Moonfin Settings.
  2. Ensure "Trailer Preview" is set to Enabled.
  3. Ensure "Mute Trailers" is set to Enabled (or Disabled, issue persists either way).
  4. Return to the Home Screen and hover over a Movie or TV Show card.

Expected behavior:
A video preview or trailer should start playing in the background or as an overlay (Spotlight/Media Bar), similar to how it works in the standard web browser view.

Actual behavior:
Only the large static backdrop and movie/show covers are displayed. No video preview starts, even after waiting for several seconds.

Additional context:

  • Trailers work perfectly fine when using the standard Jellyfin web interface in a browser.
  • I have verified that the media items on the server have valid trailer URLs/metadata.
  • Is this a known limitation for webOS 5.x or a potential bug in the latest 2.4.0 release?
