Movies and TV UWP app will not play security cam AVI

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to play AVI files using Movies & TV app. The Movies & TV app supports most of the video file formats including AVI. For more information, see

File formats supported by the Movies & TV app in Windows 10.



However, it would be great if you can reply with the details requested below:

• What happens when you try to play AVI videos in Movies & TV app?
  
• Do you receive an error message/code? If yes, what is the error message/code?
  

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to download the
MPEG-2 Video Extension and see if that helps.



Let us know how it goes.

[BUG] Movies and TV app

Hi, I noticed a bug on the Movies & TV app after a recent update. This bug is pretty hard to notice so I didn't get any support. I checked it on two other PCs and found the same.
Please follow the steps and give me feedback. Do you experience the bug.? A simple Y/N is enough.

• Open the Movies and TV app (also called Films and TV)
• Open any video folder
• Play the last video from the folder
• [BUG] Can you see "Next video" button on the right side.?(Also no
  previous video button)
• When you click on the next video button which video gets played. Is it the
  second video in the folder?

 

Movies & TV app crashes.

It happens when I try to open Movies & TV app and also when I doubleclick on a movie file. When I doubleclick on a movie file it shows an error message "The app didn't start".

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the app (as I did with the Photos app which then worked), but this does not work with the Movies & TV app
