Carlo 4330 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 You got a SocketException shortly after trying to play that file. Have you tried multiple different files? What happens if you force it to transcode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neik 835 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I am wondering why you need it to transcode in the first place? My phone (Mi8 Pro) plays AVI's just fine directly. I believe your S9 should be able as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1523 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Avi is a container; there could still be differences in the codecs of the files concerned. Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to solve converting everything to .mp4, but it is strange because it was working before in .avi Edited July 7, 2020 by allison.silva92@hotmail.co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Problem is likely in the network bandwidth. If you can try it while connected to WIFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37022 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 .avi files tend to be more problematic than other types. We are looking into improving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
