Can't play MP4 files on Galaxy M14 5G

Although MP4 is among Samsung Galaxy M14 5G supported video formats, some users still encounter incompatibility issues when playing MP4 files on Samsung Galaxy M14 5G. In this article, we explain how to solve the problem with a little workaround.

“Hi, any ideas why my Samsung Galaxy M14 5G 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 Samsung Galaxy M14 5G. Why did this happen? Is there anything I can do to solve the issue? Thanks for any help.”
