When I try to play mp4 video from a network (CIFS) share, using the default video player, it says the stream is in the wrong format. If I copy the file to the local hard drive, it plays fine. VLC seems to be able to play the file from remote.
However, VLC also appears to have a problem when opening a network folder that contains a set of DVD files. It plays for a while, but inevitably crashes partway though, I suspect at a file boundary between fob files. Again, it works fine if I copy the entire DVD folder to the local hard drive.
This all used to work fine in Ubuntu 16.04
What am I missing?
