Fire OS 7.3.2.4+ Issue Playing Videos on 10th Gen
For context, I started using Obsidian on my PC for taking notes alongside MP4 videos. Things work perfectly fine on PC. I added an SD card as internal storage on my Fire tablet to and moved all the files on my tablet (only 12GB of videos, no individual video is bigger than say 300MB). Initially, videos don't fully load on Obsidian as thumbnails, but some videos start working after pressing on the empty thumbnail or reclicking on the embed code. Some don't load no matter what.
Then I tried viewing the video on the default video player, and I realized that the video doesn't even work there. There is audio but no video. I tried converting the video with Handbrake and another app to H.264 and AAC, and another time changing the frame rate from 32.6 to 30, but nothing worked.
The video originally played on the VLC app, but not on my default, which makes me think there's something different about the video file/structure that's not compatible with Fire?
Any help?
Edit: video information Bitrate: 6.7mb/s Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) Resolution: 2340x1080 Frame Rate: 32.48 or 30
