I am new to Ubuntu and recently made a switch from Windows to it.
I have a hybrid system for which I installed Ubuntu 20.04 with the help of How to install Ubuntu 18.04 on SSD+HDD hybrid with proper partitioning?. I have the exact same specification and did follow every step except the swap. Now, my 1TB HDD is mounted as 700GB to mnt/Media, 200GB to /media/user/Work and the remaining 100GB is EFI System.
Now, except for photos and .pdf files I couldn't open any file. For videos specifically, VLC show the following error:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'admin:///mnt/Media/Movies/Green.Book.2018.DVDSCR.MkvCage.ws.mkv'. Check the log for details.
Same file when kept in home directory plays properly. Also, when I try to play the media files with root access via sudo nautilus, it shows There is no application installed for "MPEG-4 video" files.
Can somebody explain to me what to do here? I want to access my external HDD like I used to do it in Windows.
