I installed linux dual boot with windows, now I can't play any videos from another mounted partition.
I should also mention that only videos have this problem and I can open pictures, documents, music, ... with no problem. Also the problem is not video codecs, If I copy and paste video in linux partition it playes flawlessly.
I tried opening with smPlayer and media player and no success.SmPlayer error log:

I tried mounting the partition with sudo and It did not fix the problem.
I read somewhere that the problem could be because partition format is not ext4, but I had linux manjaro before this and had no problem palying videos from the same partition.
/tmp, it fails silently - probably the worst anti-user behaviour I've seen in the *nix world. Knowing that some common binaries are installed as snaps against the user's wishes, I'd want solid, tested confirmation that it does what it's told for smplayer – Chris H Dec 04 '23 at 15:28
