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

          @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.

                          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
                                  52a7803b-53e6-4966-8e4a-5945c50e7240-image.png
                                  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
                                    70a080f6-c9b9-4f19-8989-d4e76c05e56b-image.png
                                    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...

                                      @Vlad-Nirky thanks !
                                      Yes I've thought of vlc but waydroid with convergence isn't good.
                                      I didn't found any snap also for vlc.

                                            hello @AmauryDBZ ,

                                            What I do is to convert the video on a pc with ffmpeg.

                                            ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mp4
                                            #or
                                            ffmpeg -i input.mkv output.mkv
                                            #or
                                            ffmpeg -i input.avi output.avi
                                            

                                            It is a long process.
