Bug Description

- As seen in yesterday's daily build of UB 18.04 32-bit, with updates applied today.

See attached screencast. The actual content of the screencast is not the issue in this bug report (I've logged a separate bug report for that). Rather, it's that the files from any popular screencast tool should work with any media player, especially a media player bundled as default with a distro.

When I try to open the attached mp4 video in Gnome MPV, the window decorations appear for Gnome MPV, but the video never actually plays. Even trying to close Gnome MPV then takes a long while, with a message appearing to force quit the application.

At a guess, I'd say the root issue is with Gnome MPV, rather than Kazam.

Thanks,
Ken.
