How to Fix 'Playback Not Available' Error When Playing MP4 from USB?
Convert Unsupported MP4 File to Your Device, Player Supported MP4
I used to watch my favorite videos on my smart TV, but yesterday when I tried to play an MP4 file from my USB on my TV, it gave me the message "Playback not Available". What is the issue and how I can solve it?
I have a TV Sony Bravia and now I plan to open my MP4 file from my USB on it. I failed to do that. Instead, I got the error message "Playback not available". I assume that it was the MP4 file that was not supported by TV Sony Bravia, and so I got this error message. Is there a method to solve it?
