B4J Question MediaView Linux

Hello, I am installing an application made in B4X-B4J that requires playing a video, in Windows it works perfectly, but in Linux Ubuntu 22.04 I cannot get MediaView to work, do you know the reason? I have also tried VLC but in all cases it tells me that VLC is not installed even though it is actually already installed. In Ubuntu with mediaview I am running the program in two ways, the first using Wine and executing the EXE and the second directly in Linux using the .jar file of the application but in both cases the video is not showing, Also I try with Erel's MediaView Example, I have been installed Java 11, I will appreciate your help, thanks in advance!

Is it because of the forward/backward slash directory or path?

At the beginning of the transfer when I went from Windows to Linux that happened to me and I realized that the paths and slashes must indeed be modified, but now it is not a problem that it cannot find the file, the problem I think is that the driver does not have the capacity to play in Linux, at least I have made sure that the file can be loaded with the correct path, because at the same time I also load images and the images load without problem as well as text files, the connections with the databases in website, etc., but only the video is the one that is not shown, I would appreciate any comments, greetings

Does it work in Debug mode?


B4X: 
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    B4XPages.SetTitle(Me, "MediaView Example")
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    MediaViewController1.SetMediaView(MediaView1)
    'MediaView1.Source = "https://player.vimeo.com/external/354886143.hd.mp4?s=2e182d1b22282a63a9533ffda5bb0b2295cdb8e6&profile_id=175"
    'Dim FilePath As String = "file:///" & File.Combine(File.DirApp, "1.mp4").Replace("\", "/")
    Dim FilePath As String = "file://" & File.Combine(File.DirApp, "1.mp4")
    MediaView1.Source = FilePath
    MediaView1.Volume = 1
End Sub

Do not run the exe using Wine.
Try run from debug using B4J-Bridge.
You need to compile it using B4JPackager11 with package.json file to create a release version for Linux.
Search the forum for tutorials.

If I Run Using the Bridge on the linux side do not do anythining, on the B4J show the error: Error: --add-modules= requires modules to be specified, now I will try to run with the jar file.
About the SMM_VIDEO yes is set, that way I get sucsess in windows.
Thank you very much,
