Unable to display video in a gr.HTML() component

[HamoonJafarianTR]

Describe the bug

I want to display a video in gr.HTML(). It works with Gradio==4.44.0, But as soon as I upgrade to the newest version it stops working and the video is not shown. When I downgrade to 4.44.0 version, it works, so the code and paths and permissions are correct. I also tried static folder and set_static_paths solutions, but it doesn't work. I want to show a video in HTML component because it allows me to display the video at a specific start and end time which is unavailable in gr.Video() as far as I know.

                Your browser does not support the video tag.    
            </video>
