Hi Nikolai,
could you please discribe for a beginner, what you mean by that? I’ve the same problem with other players and it seams to be a codec-problem too.
Thank you!

This one is for openSUSE Tumbleweed, but there are also one for Leap 42.2 and Leap 42.1

Get a video app like brorsoft video converter to change the x264 file format.
