Playing (mpeg-4) files on PC

Sorry if this is not strictly on topic, but I am having problems playing video files on my PC which were recorded on my TC. Has the format been changed/tweaked since the Trinity (my last device)? I can't get the files to play using latest versions of WMP, RealPalyer, Quicktime or DivX player (all with -I think- appropriate Codecs; Sherlock utility lists bucket loads of Codecs residing on my PC).
The videos play OK on WMP mobile on the TC and the files were copied direct to the PC using a card reader in order to keep ActiveSync out of the equation.
Thanks

For me, the only way too see videos on my PC is to use Media Player Classic.
I've tried with VLC: video plays but...without sound.

MP4 is now a fairly common video format on the net, and is now becomming a standard format for mobile video recording, takeing over the place of 3gp. If you have troubles whith it, you have several options.
1. You can download the VLC Player, a free, open-source player that plays all videofiles whithout the usage of installed codecs (plays *.flv files as well).
2. If you do some video coding too, then you can install a Codec pack... I recommend K-Lite for that, but ofcourse there are several choices.
3. WMP11 supports it...
All solutions are free... but next time try this:
1. Google
2. In the search field: "How to play MP4 files"

I recomend checking your settings, because VLC works for me. Did you try the latest version? Does this no sound occur whith other file types aswell?

Installed VLC, but like Jules got no sound?
I do however get sound from MP4 files (and other video formats) from sources other than the TC.
So what comes out of the TC does not seem to be normal? (Hence me posting here.... yes I googled (lots) before)

The source of the problem is, that VLC does not recognize the audio stream of the mp4 files created by the TC. The coding of the Audio stream is GSM AMR-NB... so the only option is to get the AMR codec.
The reason VLC plays it for me is because K-Lite is installed (and it contains the audio codec for that).

I use the last Vlc version and KLite Standard version.
And no sound, just with Cruise's MP4. No problem with others MP4.
But Media Player Classic plays these videos with sound.

Klite Mega Codec Pack is the magic solution. Playing TC recorded video fine in WMP11 and BSPlayer Pro

Player: Audio Codec (windows media audio) not supported bye the player
Player: Video codec (windows media video 8) not supported by the player.
help me please... thanks.

did you install the codecs?
it would also be helpfull what types of files it is

The error message indicates he was trying to play a Windows Media file.
Like said in the previous post, you need to install the Windows Media codecs to play the files you want.

Any ways to detect songs in flac format?

Hi guys, right now I'm using playerpro to play .flac songs. But the problem is the player can't detect .flac format. I can only play it using file explorer (i.e es explorer). So I was wondering is there any ways to allow my sensation detect those .flac format songs?
Thanks in advance.

I believe if you have the VLC media player available on the market, that will detect and play FLAC format. If you don't, I am unsure of the capabilities of the music player that is included with the Android OS. I believe it to be MP3, and MP4 but nothing else. That is why I recommend VLC. Also if you have the new WinAmp app from the market that also supports FLAC file types.

No album covers with M4A LC AAC

Hi, i am useing MX Player Pro on my LG G5 (Linage OS) and in my Car (Oreo PX5) for both Video (MP4, H2.64, AAC) and Musik (MP3, M4A AAC). Switched from Power Amp Pro to MX Plyer Pro for Musik, because MX Player is much more reliable in storing the last Playback Position for every item.
Everything works fine except i get no Cover Art displayed for M4A/MP4 Audio Only instead of when using MP3 - on both Android Devices.
I add Cover Art JPGs to my Musik with 1st MP3 Editor to both MP3 and M4A.
I can see the covers on the PC for both MP3 and M4A in Explorer/Thumbnails, iTunes, Windows Media Player but not in Android for M4A.
Can anybody give advice how i could prepare my M4As so that MX Player will display Cover Art?
MX Player does display thumbnails für my videos, but i do not want to add an extra videotrack to each M4A-Audiofile because this would waste a lot of diskspace.
Thanks, Martin.

MX Player issue with files recorded by smart TV

Hi, I have an issue with MX Player on Android 9, LG G6 phone when trying to view files recorded by Panasonic TX-65HX820E.
I use BubbleUPnP (or DMS Explorer with the same result) to find the files but when I open a file there's a message in MX Player 'Can't play this link'.
I've found that using BubbleUPnP browser the VCL Player on Android can open files recorded by my TV but it can't seek inside files.
Also MX Player can open other files hosted by my TV by in MP4 format.
Example link to file shown by BubbleUPnP:
http://192.168.0.140:7501/VIDEO-He883dbe09a3b09d4ccbb3458c1e25d7e3d3cad7fb89ea28b85a8dc9edd83bdfd-7400447536a710edbe2de2277af0f64f00000013
File is downloaded on my phone without extension. But when I change extension to mp4 or avi it can be opened by MX Player correctly.
MX Player in information shows that media format is MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 Transport steam). VLC shows that codec is H264-MPEG-4 AVC (part 10).
Example link to the same file on Windows Media Player:
http://192.168.0.140:7501/VIDEO-He883dbe09a3b09d4ccbb3458c1e25d7e3d3cad7fb89ea28b85a8dc9edd83bdfd-7400447536a710edbe2de2277af0f64f00000013?WMContentFeatures=DLNA.ORG_OP=10;DLNA.ORG_CI=0;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01100000000000000000000000000000&WMHME=1&HMEExt=.tts&WMDuration=14940000000&WMHMETitle=SwBsAHUAYgAgAHAAcgB6AHkAagBhAGMAaQDzAEIBIABNAHkAcwB6AGsAaQAgAE0AaQBrAGkA
And on Windows the file is downloaded with tts extension.
I think that the problem is that the files recorded by my TV doesn't have any extension and MX Player doesn't recognize them correctly.
Is there some workaround in MX Player settings to handle it or it could be fixed in the code?
