Hi my wife plays on her steam deck with me (I host our game on my windows OS computer) and it seems like we just can’t get any MP4 file to play on the TV for her. I can get them to work fine for me but it seems like it just remains a black screen for her. Is this something I can fix by doing some file pathway changing in Linux? And yes, I do have the option for files to be able to play in the server settings and in her personal settings. Thank you

for files she would need a copy of the movie file in her game files

It may be linux missing a codec as well

Got it, is there anything that I’m able to do on our end to fix it? I’ll admit I’m not as familiar with Linux

from the internet: "Just set VLC as the default app to play video files. You can do that somewhere in the system settings"

Ooh okay I’ll give that a try when I get the chance. Where did you find the solution? I feel like I’ve been googling for weeks and never came across it
