There is a video in the post from the 7 May.

I suspect the issue here is that we turn off plugins in email messages by default, and that is actually affecting rss feed as well.

You could try setting mailnews.message_display.allow.plugins to true as an experiment, but I'd recommend you setting it back to false so that plugins don't get run if you get sent plugin executables in emails.

The video is displayed correctly with mailnews.message_display.allow.plugins set to true.
