Many animated clips (Gif, mp4, etc) will instead play the oldest loaded image
Steps to reproduce
- Where are you starting? What can you see? In the main chat screen, previewing media (like a gif sent from Tenor) by a friend.
- What do you click? Clicking the media opens a very old piece of media (1 of ....) instead of what you'd expect to see.

(yes I am aware this is a screen recording of Schildichat, a fork of Element, but it also affects Element.)
Outcome
What did you expect?
See the media a friend sent, like on the desktop app.
What happened instead?
You see very old media instead.

Also getting this I think. On my Google Pixel 8 Pro on giphy/tenor links shared in chat, gboard gif search entries work, and play for me and others, but gifs pasted in from tenor do not auto play for me, seeing same thing on schildi. Room is set to auto play and clients are also set to auto play.
