iPhone camera roll video won't play

Some videos from a few months ago that I have saved to my camera roll won't play. What comes up is a little loading circle like it is trying to load the video but it never plays. I know for a fact that when the videos were saved, they worked. All of them are saved videos from snapchat, but some work and others don't. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?


Thanks.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2

I believe I found a solution to this.


Go to your camera roll, then go to the video that you want to play, at the bottom left press the arrow button, than hit duplicate, once duplicated you will have two of the same video, go to the new video and play it (it should work) and once I played the new video both the original and new video worked. Not sure if this will work for everyone but now all my videos are working. Hope this helped.
