Can copy the mp4 to Jolla but m4a fails "libmtp error" "Could not send object"
The wiki page about MTP has a section "restrictive list of possible file formats:

which suggests that Jolla sends a list of supported file formats, and m4a isn't included.
Marking this as a bug.
I put the m4a video on the Jolla C (with sftp). File manager gives its mime type as audio/mp4 (as does SUSE linux) and plays the audio track.
Even if Jolla doesn't recognise it as a video it should not, IMO, prevent you transferring it with MTP.
