In Linux at the command line you need to escape a special character which a
space is with a slash.
So for a file called 'this is my mp4.mp4' you would write 'this\ is\ my\
mp4.mp4' This does work with Bash's auto fill

stretch, mpv runs, but has only a drop a file on it to play, no menu to
go looking for a file. The usual drag copy to highlight the name, then a
MMB paste to its screen doesn't work, so how do I play it? What a
screwup this is.
... I finally made it work from the command line by enclosing the
filename in dbl-quotes. Otherwise it try's to open each word in the
windows style filename which is full of spaces.
Crazy, and it sure as tootin isn't an operating improvement, nothing
points me to mpv to play an mp4. mpv does have one, I just found it
thank you Mike, but there ought to be an alias setup that gets you mpv's
man page when you type man mp4, and get nothing. 'scuse the rant, but
I've been poking at this for days.
Thanks Mike.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Greetings all;
There is an .mp4 on the u-sd card that comes with the creality
ender3 pro 3d printer that I'd like to play.
Thanks & Cheers, Gene Heskett
mpv from Debian should works fine, or mplayer2 if you're still
running a mesozoic version of Debian.
