OK I will try.

[Topper0o]

OK I tried and now the audio doesn't match the video and it is really slow :( Also the error still happens.

[opusforlife2]

Tried all possible combos of toggles? Also, restarting didn't work?

[Topper0o]

Didn't, I noticed it happens then I set video quality on the best possible or 1080p. 780p works fine but it will be better to have 1080p.

[opusforlife2]

It's possible your device claims to support 1080p but actually doesn't. Try using https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.brouken.player/ and a downloaded 1080p video (both WebM and MP4) to see if it works.

[Topper0o]

It doesn't let me play it

[opusforlife2]

Alright. Then your device doesn't support it. Use a lower resolution. 👍
