No display of video.

The app installs well, runs OK, slightly difficult to set the the file list.
However on running, only the audio runs, synch with the server.
But video file does not display on the app.
Am I missing something?
Synchronisation indeed but only audio!

@rammedisoft, On all of my test devices, I haven't confronted this issue so it may be device-specific or specific to the Android version you're running. I need more information to narrow down the cause. First of all, try an older version (such as v0.8.0) and let me know if the issue is still there.

Also, try to test the issue in Solo (Videoplayer only) Player, as well as different video formats.

Whether the issue persists in an older version or not, provide me with the following information:

• Device Model (Manufacturer and Model Number).
• Operating System (is it a stock rom? a custom rom? what OS is it, is it harmonyOS, OxygenOS, OneUI OS, MIUI OS...?)
• Android Version.
• Type of video you're trying to play (Some formats aren't supported).

Sorry for raising this issue before checking further.
After I posted this issue, I came across different posts, in this section, esp. the one labelled "Video player requests #38"
I found out the limitations of Google Exo player.
Then I checked with different video files. It worked. I checked the media info using FormatFactory and here is the abridged details.

I request you to put the list of various video formats supported by your App or give link to the Exoplayer website in the description of your App.

@rammedisoft I am glad to hear that you got the app to work. There is no Android device that has built-in support for mp1vformat at the moment

Exoplayer either uses the device's hardware codecs or its integrated software codecs (which support all audio formats, but a limited list of video formats). I should indeed cite this piece of information in the readme in order to not confuse other people.

I am planning to release Syncplay with a much more powerful player in the future, which would give support to a myriad of formats, including mp1v
