I’m trying to download some mp4 files via qbittorrent but most of them don’t play. I have no reason to assume that the source is broken, is there perhaps something I am doing wrong or some way to fix it? I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading. It’s really big and I don’t want to download it all if it won’t work.
VLC will happily play a file with a wrong or no extension but the OS needs to know it should open it with VLC. I think DVD-Video predates the MP4 container.

I was recently ripping some DVDs and a few in the process were being recognized as such. Turns out, they were simply missing “.MP4” for the file name.

Yeah, VLC played it, but Plex didn’t recognize it. Just saying, could be something as simple as that since OP isn’t using VLC.
