Hi,
I tried to play a movie on my phone (using convergence), the multimedia player starts but the movie never play.
This what I saw into logs :

Any idea ?
Thanks

@AmauryDBZ Does the movie have Digital Rights management (DRM) active or has it been ripped?

AmauryDBZ

@MrT10001 no idea. How can I find out ?

MrT10001

@AmauryDBZ That is dependent on the source. If you downloaded it legally, it will probably have DRM which will make it difficult to play on open source media players and if you downloaded it the other way, DRM may have been removed. That is just one scenario.

AmauryDBZ

@MrT10001 ok then we can consider there is no DRM

MrT10001

@AmauryDBZ What file type?

AmauryDBZ

@MrT10001 .avi

AmauryDBZ
