MediaView does not play video on Ubuntu

[Casall, Alexander]

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the hint. We already had the codecs installed.

We figured out that there seems to be a bug in the media implementation of Windows and Linux. Our video was vertical and had a resolution of 800x1500. It played perfectly on MacOS. On Windows the MediaView startet with an unknown error and on Ubuntu it didn’t do anything, neither putting something in the errorProperty nor having any warning. So the solution was to render the video in 1500x800 and rotate it in FX.

Thanks for your response,

Alex
