Additional information

In v0.24.1 everything works as expected, it was only when I upgraded to v0.25 that the problem manifests.

I tried installing and uninstalled v0.24.1 and v0.25 a numvber of time to test the issue, and I was able to reproduce it every time.

@Stypox Shouldn't #9758 have fixed this?

I'm running LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12.1) on a OnePlus Nord N200 and since upgrading to v0.25 last night, I get a similar error when trying to stream videos using an external player. Mine is a full popup instead of a toast notification and it says there's no streaming apps installed and asks to install VLC. Downgrading back to 0.24.1 works just fine with my video players.

Got the same error when trying to open a video i downloaded

Got the same error for all the downloaded videos. Using Evo X ROM, Android 13. Device Redmi K20 Pro.

As this error has now been reported on multiple devices, by multiple manufacturers running different versions of Android, I think perhaps the "device/software specific" tag should be removed.

[Yowlen]

So far, out of all the reports that have specified any details about their hardware and software, the one common factor is that the issue affects Android 12+.

And given it was a known issue for Android 12+ prior to the 0.25 release as per #9758 , it seems to be a safe assumption that the patch(es) generated for the other issue report didn't actually fix the problem, at least not entirely.

So unless someone using an earlier version can specify their Android version and confirm it's also happening to them, the "device/software specific" tag seems accurate enough to me since it only seems to affect specific versions of software, i.e. Android 12+.

Does #9817 fix the issue?

[czak]

#9817 fixes the issue for me on Android 11

[Yowlen]

It fixes playing via external video player for me, as well.

[darrellenns]

#9817 works for me as well.

Could you confirm that #9833, which refactor how external intents are made, fixes the issue? Thank you in advance!

[Yowlen]

#9833 works for me playing videos using an external player and playing downloaded videos.

This bug is fixed in v0.25.1 for me (Oneplus 7 / Android 12 / OxygenOS). Thanks!
