I think you need to look into your hiring portal. I have actually applied to this position (or a position with the exact same description) many months ago. Never heard anything. Which is strange since I have decades of video encoding, video player, c++, and cross platform development experience at both startups and FANG.
For what it's worth, I interviewed for a position similar to this at Disney+ a few years ago (unsure if it's the exact same one since it's been so long), and after being given a coding challenge that they agreed I could turn in after a week and an email from someone I was supposed to ask questions to, I didn't get any responses from them whatsoever until less than 24 hours before the supposed turn-in. (Among the questions I asked were clarifications of very basic things like "Am I supposed to be getting 404 errors when trying to query the links returned by the API the instructions say I should be rendering results from, or is there an issue with your backend?" After having spent essentially two full days over the weekend on it, I emailed the night before we had agreed I'd complete the challenge to say that I wasn't interested in continuing with the interview process, and the next day I finally received a response saying something along the lines of "oops, the engineer we said would answer your questions was on vacation, here's the email of a different one".
Obviously that's just one data point, but I wouldn't be shocked if their hiring portal worked fine and this is just how their recruiting works.
