Unable to Add Videos to Queue

[Rage-Quiff]

I have several files I am attempting to join together with VidCutter, rather than having to reencode them all with KDENlive or something else. All of the videos were recorded on my Pixel 2 XL using the OpenCamera app. The vidoes were all recorded in sequence, with the exact same settings. I can add any single one of them to VidCutter fine, but attempting to add more than one throws an error for all but the first: "Invalid media file. This is not a media file or the file may be corrupted."

For each file, the log shows: 2018-03-04 14:34 - vidcutter.libs.videoservice - INFO - attempting to test joining of "/media/dudeman/Storage/Videos/Mar 02/VID_20180302_191307.mp4" & "/media/dudeman/Storage/Videos/Mar 02/VID_20180302_192055.mp4"

I have no problem playing the files in VidCutter, nor in any other app. KDENlive works with them, but I just need to join them, not reencode them.

You could try to update libmpv up to v0.22 through this PPA repository:

https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/mpv-tests

(tested with Linux Mint 18.3)

However, if you not scared about the command-line - you can use FFmpeg natively:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate

(tested with "Using intermediate files")

I face exactly the same issue on my ubuntu 19.04 with file made by OBS. I have the latest version of mpv. Actually, I face this with ANY video I want to add in the index, even if I add again the same video that was accepted the first time.

This issue is still not fixed. Using v6.0.5.1 on 3 different windows PC's. I can add only one file if the clip list is empty. Trying to add a second, or even the same clip again, ALWAYS results in "invalid media". If I already have some clips in the list I cannot add any files. So it is not possible to merge any clips.
