[Bug] Gallery and QML Mediaplayer cannot play 36c3 videos

Gallery and the QML Mediaplayer are not able to play 36c3 videos. But sailfish-browser is able to play webm.

  • download a 36c3 video (like https://cdn.media.ccc.de/congress/2019/webm-sd/36c3-11223-deu-eng-fra-Opening_Ceremony_webm-sd.webm)
  • open it via a file browser
  • Then -> Gallery is started

Expected: Video is played Actual behavior: Error message in Gallery

  • Open the browser
  • Start the video via file:///-url
  • Then -> Video is played

if you try to start mp4 in the browser it also fails because of missing libraries!

I also tried to play a video via Qt.openUrlExternaly. This works with stream ("https://") videos because then the browser is started. It fails with local files because then the Gallery app is started to play.

I also tried qml Video (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtmultimedia-video.html) but it fails on both - stream and file - too.

I expect that these video fail because of multi lang. There should be some older bug from me somewhere...
