good to know then, I'll try .mkv
-
Is there a list of supported format by multimedia player ?
-
@AmauryDBZ Unfortunately that can differ per device as it depends on what codecs the device's hardware supports.
-
@arubislander Hello. Is there a command line thru terminal to see the codecs supported?

If you have waydroid installed, perhaps could you try (from F-Droid) VLC.
I have tested on my phone with an avi file and i works really well while not working with the UBT media player.
VLC is "special" and it comes with his own codecs and can play any file (or near). -

Codec is the way the file has been digitized..
Coder decoder
Right clic on file / properties
You should have something like this
AVI and MKV are containers.
There are codecs for video and audio parts of the film.
To transpose this in file process, if you compress a file with arj, you'll have to uncompress with arj. same as tgz, zip, 7z... -

If you try waydroid, you can use waydroid helper from appstore to install.
Use the F-Droid repository and install VLC
You'll have to copy your avi file in /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Download/ for example.
for this, use a terminal
come in root mode: sudo su
and cp [youfilewithpath] /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Download/
Of course, it's not supported by Ubuntu Touch community, just a work around to get it working...
