“Hi, any ideas why my Huawei P60 doesn't play MP4 videos. I've copied several MP4 clips onto my SD card. It turns up in the media player app. But when I go to play it a popup message saying something like ‘this video cannot be played’. Strangely I earlier put an AVI video onto the same SD card. I can play this AVI video fine in the same video player app. MP4 should be playable on Huawei P60. Why did this happen? Is there anything I can do to solve the issue? Thanks for any help.”
