Hi Everyone,
I have an MP4 clip that I am trying to watch on F41. When I double click the MP4, Dragon Player opens with two buttons: Play File and Play Stream. (It does not show the MP4 that caused Dragon Player to launch). I cannot seem to get the MP4 to play, even if I select Play File and browse to the file that was previously double clicked.
This seems to be the default setup of Fedora with KDE. I did not manually install Dragon Player or change file associations. The Fedora docs for Dragon Player are here, but they don't have much information: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_Guide_-_Playing_Multimedia#Dragon_Player.
Is Dragon Player supposed to play MP4 files? Or is there an incorrect file association? Or maybe something else?
Works for me, though personally, I use VLC. Note that 'mp4' (like 'avi', 'mpeg' etc.) is just a container format. You need the correct codecs to be able to play what's in it.
Ok, thanks.
Try 'mediainfo' (in the Fedora repo) to see what's actually there.
