I still don't manage to upload a working video to Friendica, but at least I've figured out a way to 'fix' the broken upload flow for media on WordPress:

Upload the file. Find that it doesn't show on posts because it hasn't been uploaded to CDN. Click Purge from CDN, even though you want the opposite. Find that you now have many errors in the purge queue indicating none of the purges succeeded. Find that magically the media now does show because it has been uploaded to CDN.

Previously I had to reupload the whole media library to CDN, which took about half an hour, each time I added one image or video.

But I can steal the video url from the blog post and use it in a Friendica video tag...

If I recall, Friendica limits uploaded videos to some very small size, like 2M or something like that. These limits were removed around 2013 for other branches of that software family tree such as Hubzilla and streams; but I think they are still in place for Friendica. Might ask one of the current developers to verify this but I did see somebody mention it just a month or two ago.
