Hello Gaya1239,
Thank you so much for getting back to me I really appreciate it.
The issue seems to have sorted itself now as all the MP4s are playing ok now in both media player and photos, both MP4s and AVI file's.
I don't know what happened as they would only play when I first booted up and then stop working after a few minutes.
I am wondering if it was something to do with updates as since getting the system only a week ago there have been a few updates and everything seems fine now. Maybe.
So for now everything seems fine but not sure how to stop the conversation, I am a bit new to this.
Again thank you so much for your response.
Take care and you have a good day too.
