if i try to read it going in gallery and videos and i push play icon in center. nothing move!
even with LLs video player no run of the video.

why?

is there a command line to run a mp4 file?
You've already been told that mp4 is just a container and you're trying to play a weird Sony format that is not supported atm. Just use Handbrake or something to convert them to h264 and they'll work just fine. And no, afaik there's no cli app available either.

Done some more testing now. First audio, I've tried aac, opus, ac3, vorbis, dts, mp3, alac and flac and I haven't had a single glitch with audio so far. And hopefully it stays that way.

Now for video, I've focused on three different formats, h264, xvid and vp8. H264 just seems to work and I haven't noticed any problems so far. With vp8 and xvid on the other hand there are problems with some files. If I take a legal example like BBB:

This one works:
http://video.webmfiles.org/big-buck-bunny_trailer.webm

but this one doesn't:
http://bennugd-vlc.googlecode.com/fi...unny_480p.webm

And for xvid there's this one that doesn't work either:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/53160...Rip.XviD-MEDiC

And for other mpeg4 codecs this one works:
http://download.blender.org/peach/bi...rround-fix.avi

but this one doesn't:
http://download.blender.org/peach/bi...80p_stereo.avi

So to sum it up, there's something missing in the gstreamer pipeline for some files, possibly just a ffmpegcolorspace element. IIRC the jolla gstreamer dev has posted on TMO and if you want help with testing stuff but don't want to do it in the open due to legal reason you can pm me and we can take it from there. This bug is probably in opensource code but to find it in the huge qt codebase is not that easy if you don't know where to look.

xvid codec is not included in SailfishOS because of patent license fees.

Well, that much we know. Together with lots of other codecs.

Interesting is:
- x264 video with AAC/AC3 stereo/6ch in MKV work fine.
- FLAC stereo audio play fine.
- x264 video with FLAC stereo/6ch in MKV => video without sound

in both Gallery & LLs.vPlayer

Shouldn't XviD play back just fine with standards compliant h.263 decoder? So no need for specific XviD decoder, just need to send XviD streams to the h.263 decoder. And Jolla should already have a h.263 decoder, at least mp4 files with h.263 play back fine.

Unfortunately not, it seems that there are lots of incompatible h263 type codecs.

MPEG-4 Part 2 (ASP, DivX, Xvid etc.) is only partially based on H.263.
