Unable to open AVI files directly from the Signal app #13694
Comments
I can also attach the AVI file that is in the screenshot if that would be helpful. |
Looks like we don't detect the file as a video and then try to use a 3rd part app to play which the OS also doesn't find one for. Not much else we can do here. We can only render videos the OS can play for us, so maybe a Graphene thing? |
🤷 We take the info we know about the file and give it to the OS. It's up to the OS to tells us if there's an app available to play it or not. |
Nextcloud talk is also able to get to the same interface for opening the AVI file as the files app |
Bug description
AVI video files open properly when opened from the files app but not when opened via signal. iOS users can open the file just fine.
Steps to reproduce
Actual result: error "Can't find an app able to open this media."
Expected result: signal uses VLC to play the video file

Device: Google Pixel 6a
