        @mito77 The problem isn't the video format. The problem is video playback on Nexus 5 is broken. Once someone fixes the bug, then all those videos will also play on Nexus 5 just fine.

            @mito77 Again, there is an issue on the Nexus 5 with video playback, so you cannot really play videos locally right now. The solution is to find and fix the bug, which is apparently quite difficult as nobody has succeeded yet to fix it.

              @dobey no problem. If I can compile. I try to make a portage of vlc for ubports. Or create an executable. So the problem maybe is the size of the screen or the design and the accessibility of the menu.

                @mito77 This is not a fix for the problem.

                    @mito77 There is, as has already been mentioned a well known bug on the Nexus 5 that is ( for various reasons) not easy to fix. Replying with odd off site links to video streaming sites and such does not help fix the issue and looks more like spam to the casual viewer. Can you you please stop doing this, I am removing the links this time. Thanks for your understanding

                      Is it known if this problem will be addressed for OTA-13? I can't find my way around Github or whatever it is called to look for myself.

                        @cliffcoggin I don't see https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1092 issue on OTA13 project board currently. As it concern only one device, i guess it is not a high priority thing. The project board: https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/17

                          Thanks for the links. Such a shame it is unlikely to be fixed, particularly as it apparently worked in OTA-11.

                              I tried converting an MP4 video into OGG, but it made no difference. Media player needs serious work.

                                This going to be fixed when switching N5 devices to halium 7.1 ( see last Q&A ), but don't know when πŸ˜‰

                                  @lduboeuf After searching, it appears that someone associated with VLC is developing a version for ARM. It would be a welcome addition.
