Q: Photostream for video sharing problems

First strike that I'm trying to use the photo stream to share videos for a business client. Easier than uploading to Vimeo in a draft stage. Been having some flaky behavior. Maybe it's normal.

 

I've uploaded three files with .m4v extensions. Officially only mp4 is supported, but does that include m4v? They're all encoded in h.264.

 

One of the files plays back on an iPad strangely. In landscape mode it crops the sides rather than fitting it in the screen. It's fine in portrait mode. The other ones are fine.

 

I've also had some headaches uploading files from my phone. I transferred them there using FileApp in iMazing. Then uploaded to photo stream. I've had to try this a couple of times. Can't rule out fileapp as the culprit, but does this happen to others?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 2.2 gHz model i7
