Video player [no image / no sound]
I have encountered a problem with playing some video files. Depending on their codec it plays sound but no image or it shows image but no sound. With EdgeDev (desktop) all of them work without problem, but with Chrome or some other Android browsers they do not play with sound or image. It could be the way they have been encoded? Here it is an example.
My current software version is 2019.06.01.
This one works perfectly in mobile browser and in desktop browser, image OK / sound OK.

Thanks in advance.

While we would love to help, I am afraid we can't do much about it. It's really up to the browsers which codecs they support.
FileRun just lets the browser handle it, if it can.
So, it boils down to: use a different browser or convert the file to a different codec.
Many thanks for the comment Vlad. At the moment I have discovered that in Android the only browser that plays all type of format and codecs is UC browser (I do not like it, but there is no alternative...). It's a pity.
I look forward to the update of the android app.
