After upgrading to the newest version, whenever the app tries to play a video (typically mp4), it will just try to load it seemingly forever and never plays. Does not matter if it is within the integrated hard drive of the machine or an ssd.
On a Macbook Pro for reference.

Reporting back that this is also ocurring on my Windows desktop. Different folder, different files, different machine, still mp4 files. @ilian any idea what is going on? Was working fine before I updated to the current version

There was an issue in the media player, which is fixed for the upcoming 6.13 version.
