      Hi.

      I have audio+video for a short .webm video - I recorded it in VLC from a longer video. I'm using Debian 10 Stable on my PC.
      I sent the video to someone on Telegram. They use Android. They could get audio but no video file. I presume a codes issue?
      So I opened Teleports on my FP2 with UT. I clicked on the video - it downloaded it to somewhere but I can't find it. I installed UTmedia and hoped to click the video in Teleports and have an open with option - it only mentions in the Content Picker screen: File Manager, uText, OpenStore, PdfjsViewer. How can I view the video to see if the audio+video plays on my phone?

      Thanks.

        The safest way I know to do that is:

        • In Teleports, choose File Manager
        • Go to the Downloads directory and validate
        • Open UTmedia and open the file using the File Manager

        IDK if this kind of video file is supported but this way you'll know if it works

          @AppLee Hi. I don't see the file in the Downloads folder - I also checked the Downloads folder of the SD Card. 😕

              When you tap on the video in Teleports, you wrote that the content picker shows :
              File Manager, uText, OpenStore, PdfjsViewer

              Select the File Manager and goes to the Downloads directory.
              Then you have to validate using the V shape "checker" to actually copy the file to this location.
              Just after this you should be able to see the file in the folder.

              Have you done these steps correctly ?

                @AppLee Ah, yes. I just noticed the check-mark now. Thanks, AP. I was able to play it in UTmedia (both audio and video).

                👍🏻 🙂

                  Glad to read it.

                  Can you change the topic to "resolved" because I saw this kind of question several times now and it might help someone find the answer more easily

                    Do you mean add something like [Resolved] in the thread title? Or is there some mark solved option here?

                      Yes, adding resolved or solved to the title.
                      Thanks.
