    Hello,

    You have to say that you are not providing any information, neither about the video nor about the hardware/software used.

    The video file may be corrupted; try downloading it again... if possible on a PC connected via wired connection to the router.

    -- You can view it with VLC which contains all the codecs.

    -- This video may be protected against reproduction..??

    -- It would need to be analyzed with "MediaInfo" https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

    You install MediaInfo on your PC... right-click on the video file ===> View ===> text and paste all this text here...
